Wow. Utterly fabulous meal with friendly, lovely service. All three courses were equally fantastic - great flavours, textures and presentation of the food. Highly recommended
Found this small, 22 seat, intimate restaurant. There is 1 person in the kitchen and 1 front of house, this means that the service is paced to allow the chef to produce his absolutely delicious food. We were treated like friends, the service was caring and relaxed, wine recommendation was perfect. The menu is short and based on available local produce, and changes weekly, there are 2 options for entrees, mains and desert. With an extra vegetarian main and a cheese board. We were pleased to be able to eat there 2 nights running......the food was THAT GOOD. Highly recommended and thanks.
The food could not be more delicious. One of our favorite spots to visit when in Angoulême!
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
