Great foodie experience I have had here tonight!
Restaurant with a very warm attire, rustic in the appearance, but overall classy - really makes you feel welcome!
Top service, fast but gentle, can't fault it.
I had the 42 menu (drinks aside - had a glass of Bandol rouge 2011, nice; and a bottle of S.Benedetto, slightly fizzy water).
I chose foie gras (feeling slightly sorry thinking to my vegetarian friends!...), first time in my life, mi-cuit: I was blown away by the delicacy of the taste.
Then I went for the fillet of beouf, perfectly medium rare, served with a really tasty ratatouille, peppercorn sauce and pommes frites - man, if you like meat, this was worth on its own the price of the whole menu! (And in UK you would have paid, that price!....).
Then there was a small plate with three tiny pieces of local cheese - again, perfect, as after the (fairly large!) fillet, I was scared of being presented with 300gr of cheese.
So, after taking my time to taste the 3 cheeses, which reminded me of the mountains' ones in Italy, I'm shown the magic black board: desserts!
There's plenty of sorbets, profiteroles, carpaccio d'ananas, tiramisu... all freshly made, I'm told.
The \café gourmand\ is my choice: a selection of \small\ portion of 4 different desserts an espresso (decaf for me tonight...). Each one if them is an amazing journey into flavourland, other than real treats for the eye...
Well, at this point, I'm truly stuffed.
Thanks \La Grange\!
