Top left radishes, top right foie gras cherries and below mushroom soup.
Starter which we all chose - Braised artichokes, river trout and hazelnuts the other choice was celeriac and black truffle.
Main course - braised leeks with Barbezieux chicken or....
John Dory roasted over charcoal, Parmesan foam and mushrooms. Nigel and I both had this dish and it was delicious and full of amazing flavours.
The dessert - this was called Earl grey tea and chocolate but I asked for no Earl Grey (I don't like it!) or
Nigel's choice of Grapefruit iced parfait, but note, he had - "Joyeux anniversaire 70 Ans" written on his plate with a candle to blow out 🍷
Finally a coffee with petit-fours.
