This log is especially for Mo, she loves good food and prefer a bit of health into it if possible, unfortunately this menu I ate was superb but healthy ... sorry Mo don't meet all the criteria ... still curious ... ???



So in the late October sun we ate the Degustation de Chef, and a degustation it was. 6 courses of the products of the region de Cahors. Started with a kirr and for all you food & beverage lovers out there, for once the one and only good recipe of a kirr. Bourgogne Aligoté and Crème de Cassis, not too sweet ... and than it's so nice to start your diner or lunch ...

Velouté de Chataigne Foie gras mit cuit de Canard avec compote apple curry et une gelee Granny Smith

Bisque de Langoustine Coquille de Saint Jacques avec risotto de citron avec une sauce bouillabaisse

Pigeon, foie de pigeon, poire cuit dans le vin de Cahors avec sauce des Cepes Fromage

Cantal doux et Sainte Nectaire

Moelleux de Chocolat

Café et friandises et un jus de nectarine

Avec deux vins de Cahors bien sur ...
Domaine de Fabre 2004 AOC Gaillac (Cahors region) 12% - vin blanc sec
Clos de Jean 2004 AOC Cahors 12,5% - vin rouge Recolté a main


The soup was an excellent starter, well balanced in the flavours and served old fashioned style. Of course Foie and not a small part I might add. Terrific home made piece of Foie, exceptional good taste of the apple curry and .... Granny Smith as well - perfect combination. The bisque was perfect with of course a langoustine and the different shrimps, perfect taste. The Coquilles were fresh and perfect sauted with this lemon flavoured Risotto with a bouillabaisse sauce, perfect harmony. As main dish the local pigeon, perfect with the cepes from the backyard and a pear cooked in Cahors wine a real treat. Than two "small" pieces of cheese and as dessert the Moelleux, perfect backed with the chocolat filling inside that was a real finish. Than coffee and even some friandises of the house ... yes it was quite a meal you can say but it was worth it. If you're in the neighbourhood or on vacation in this part of la douce France this one I'll recommend without hesitation. For lunch you're mostly fine, for diner give them a call to be sure of your table. They rent rooms as well and are part of Logis de France, the rooms are built in an old fashioned way but with all the modern needs of today, ask for their special arrangements, they offer nice prices for a room with gourmet lunch or diner. And yes they have a heated pool as well.
