Dinner for 3 hungry people in this little gem a bit off the beaten track, but more than worth the diversion. Ms Brard runs a truly amazing kitchen, we had a lovely view in through the pass and there was calm, good humour, and great, respectful communication going on in a happy kitchen all of which was reflected on our plates. We had two dinners from the €25 menu and one from the more elaborate €35 menu. A little amuse bouche of diced melon with a hint of mint got us nicely started. (Incidentally, I don't know if Ms Brard bakes her own baguette, but it was just amazing, far and above the best French bread I have ever eaten Starters: Salad of duck geziers and lardons just delicious, with a clean and simple dressing. (Hands down the best salad I ate in two weeks of dining in France this year. Crab souffle unusual, amazing and utterly delicious. Warm sauteed foie gras with figs and apple mind blowing! Mains: Confit duck just perfect Entrecote tender and cooked to perfection, with phenomenal confit shallots on top Tournedos sublimely seasoned and cooked All were served with fabulous sauteed potato slices and seasonal veg. Desserts: Vanilla creme brulee Raspberry creme brulee Chocolate fondant All excellent, especially the vanilla brulee and the sure sign of a kitchen where someone really know what they are doing stunning, delicious chantilly cream.
