Lunch for 3.
- Ambiance (5/5)
Unexpectedly modern- beautiful interior. Set in a tiny village, I might've preferred country rustic, but this worked too.
- Service (5/5)
Very professional and courteous. Bread service was also very cute too with the bread coming out in a big basket.
- Bread (5/5)
The baguette (pain blanc) was to die for. Crunchy crust, warm chewy center.
- Prix Fixe, 32€
- Cod Fritter, amuse (5/5)
Spicy, salty, crunchy, moist- tons of flavor packed into this tiny ball.
- Tartare de Gambas (5/5)
Never had a shrimp tartare before actually but really good! The snap pea velouté was silky and a great base for the tartare.
- Quasi de Veau (5/5)
Never had a braised veal come out in such a thick cut, which originally made me nervous about tenderness, but it was tender and flavorful. The mushroom was also delicious- wish I had more. And the herbed mashed potatoes were perfect.
- Ecume d'Ami du Chambertin (5/5)
Never had rich, velvety, frothy cheese like that before. Salty and creamy. Mmmm. The little gingerbread slices were also the perfect accompaniment.
- Lemon Tart (3/5)
Good but a big sweet and rich for my taste. Beautifully and creatively presented, deconstructed and upside down in a martini glass though!
- Value (5/5)
Considering the number of quality dishes for this meal, I'd say 32€ is a steal.
- Final Word
Wow- unexpectedly modern, creative, and delicious dishes in this decidedly country setting. Great spot to stop and recharge after a morning of wine tasting. read more
