I cannot remember how I heard about this place, and in doing research on that, I still can’t figure it out because none of my “usual suspect” sources (including right here) shows up in a search.
Annnnyway, I have had it tagged for a while, intrigued by a 20€, 3-course lunch menu.
This is a tiny place, 20 diners at the most including outside tables. Monsieur in the tiny kitchen, visible from all the indoor tables, and Madame running the house.
Here’s the menu.
We shared the cold zucchini soup with mint & fish terrine to start. The soup was light & refreshing; the terrine felt more like rillettes or even a salad than a terrine, but it was very good.
Next up were the grilled pollock on pommes purées with chive oil & a salad with spelt, fennel and feta with a honey-marjoram vinaigrette. The chef forgot the garnish so came running out to add it. Can’t pick a favorite dish - they were both so different, one comforting and the other refreshing. I was glad I got the salad after the halfsy swap versus the other way around.
2 desserts, 2 diners, one each, right? No, we were both too drawn to the poached rhubarb and it was delicious. Good & punchy, but not over the top - not sure how it was sweetened but if someone can read what is after “poached,” it could be a clue. All I recognize is “limon,” part of the punchiness. *
This was such a good value, and I would go back in a heartbeat.
*Funny aside. The other day, I was looking for a braised celery recipe I took a pic of before the move. My phone pulled up the picture of this rhubarb dessert and I can totally see why!
