Au bon pichet is one of three restaurants recommended by the owners of the gîte where we were staying and did not disappoint. I was keen to try quenelles de sandre and they are available as either a starter or main course, so I opted for the former, as did my companion. Then we both had chicken fillet with peas, pea mousse and a smoked sabayon sauce. But they saved the best for last. Dessert was a triumph: the Tarte of the day was finished so we were offered Torche aux marrons a delicious confection of chestnut purée, cream and meringue. We chose the flight of wines to accompany the meal (20€, a bargain) and had a Sylvaner with the quenelles, a Riesling with the chicken and a very pleasant local dessert wine with the dessert, but the name escapes me. The service was good, the restaurant had a pleasant ambience and we had a lovely evening.
