    Only our second visit to this lovely restaurant. The food was just as delicious as we remembered and the staff just as lovely. The restaurant was quiet with thankfully unobtrusive background music. The table settings were bright and fresh with lovely linen napkins.

    Valentine’s Day Prix Fixe Menu- such a lovely choice of dishes, completely different to the normal Prix Fixe Lunch, I had vegetable tarte flambé , followed by goat’s cheese soufflé which was served with beetroot, walnuts and salad my chosen dessert was chocolate liegois, served with langues de chat biscuits. All three course were sublime and I enjoyed a kir aperitif followed by a glass of house rose wine accompany this special meal. My husband chose duck magre with salad and potato to start, followed by pork cheeks with pommes purée ( which he declared”melt in the mouth!)@ and he chose a dessert of. Pear and almond tart, served with crème fraiche, all of which he thoroughly enjoyed! We ended with our usual delicious espressos which provided the right touch for an exceptional lunch.. We have been visiting this “gem” of a restaurant for almost ten years now and it involves a round trip of almost forty miles! It is more than worth the travel!
