We received a recommendation from a local who recommended a pizza place but we had eaten pizza several times this week and were interested in something more adventurous. We found Villa Motel. We were greeted by the friendly hostess who seated us promptly. Our French is not very good, it makes ordering an adventure sometimes. I am also traveling with two diners who are under strict vegetarian diets. We were offered the buffet however since many of the choices included meat, we felt this was not the best option. We inquired about other options. We were offered spaghetti bolognese however that often includes meat so we asked if there was another choice. The hostess offered spaghetti with an omelet. We were unsure of the offer, again our French is not always the best, so she showed us an egg. We were in. I mean, how could you go wrong with that? For drinks, my companions chose hot chocolate and water. I ordered coffee, even though it was with dinner, I really needed coffee. As we waited for our food to arrive we considered our order and were not sure we understood what what had been offered but when the meal arrived, it was exactly as promised! The pasta was cooked to perfection and lightly buttered. It was presented with a tomato and parsley garnish that added the right visual impact. The omelet was impressive. Cooked perfectly with a light and fluffy consistency. It contained at least 3, maybe 4 eggs per omelet and oh boy, it was delicious! The chef (I believe so) came by to check on us. We were delighted to speak with him. As with any good meal it brightened our mood and lifted our spirits. Especially so since it was my birthday and I was away from home, my wife and dog. Once finished, we relaxed shortly, paid for our meal, thanked our host and returned to Buzancy.

The menu provided delicious choices for everyone- we started with glasses of champagne which went perfectly with the amuse bouche.. Our first courses we selected were the ravioli with beef cheeks, escargot and tempura shrimp with mango ---each was outstanding. For our main courses our table ordered the fish, duck and beef dishes which were stars. We chose a bottle of Pinot Noir to accompany our meal, from the well curated wine list. We shared two desserts, epic chocolate profiteroles and unbelievably good glacé with chocolate. It was memorable evening we will remember a long time. Thank you to the Owners and Chef!
