We called in for lunch on the last day of our holiday as we drove back to Bordeaux airport. There is a large car park and we walked straight up steps to the veranda, where we were invited to choose any table. Ours had a lovely view over the pond and across the garden to the gorgeous trees on the far boundary. There were various set menus available, but with limited time we chose just a main and dessert from the a la carte menu. The server was delightful and most helpful. When choosing a glass of rose wine my wife was invited to try it first and change to another if it was not to her taste. The first choice wine was however perfect. The food arrived swiftly. My wife chose a street food medley and loved it. My dish was stunning. Lowly cuts of pork totally transformed by a crab bisque sauce, served with beautifully cooked griddled asparagus and an amazing aubergine salad. For dessert I stuck with an all time favourite, tiramisu, and was rewarded with the best one I've ever eaten multiple layers of cream, sponge and chocolate sauce topped with a quenelle of glorious coffee ice cream. This was by far the best food I have eaten this year (and we ate very well throughout our holiday! and this will be my first port of call the next time I'm in this part of France. The bill came to around £70: not cheap, but worth every penny.
