My wife and I travel from the US every year to tour Europe for 5 months. Our base of operations is a refurbished 600 year old house here in the village. From here we have taken road trips to Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Bavaria, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, and countless locations all over France. When we first arrived in town 6 years ago the hotel and restaurant were a thriving little business. They had an ownership change 30 months ago and the cuisine and lodging became a disaster. Luckily the inn was rescued by a gentlemen from North Central France and his companion. Last night we ventured out with local friends of ours to give this restaurant another try. Wonder of wonders!! The meal and service were suburb. From the chèvre in puff pastry to the lamb chops to the upside down apple pie a la mode every thing was delicious. My wife had a tomato tarte as an appetizer and declared that a winner as well. Her cabiloud was flaky, moist and outstanding. The bread was baked on premise and had hard outer crust and doughy interior - just a sit should be. We were offered an amuse bouche which consisted of seasoned diced tomatoes served with homemade quacamole - interesting pairing. This was accompanied by tampanade on toast point with an anchovy. Wonderful presentation on all the dishes. Dinner for four - with appetizers, main course, dessert, a bottle of regional wine, Perrier, and after dinner drinks was 147€. A bargain no matter where you go. This was easily one of the top 25 meals we have had while touring Europe, and we have eaten hundreds. I am looking forward to returning with US friends when they come to visit in a month. We might even return next week...........
