This town house has been created, redefined even. And re-planned with taste! And when I say re-planned... 18 months work! The whole family rolled its sleeves up! 7/7! In the daytime and sometimes at night! Until the 24th April 2011! But what a result! Old stones and noble materials, a bright, gracious dining room that smells of Provence and a courtyard converted into a patio. Just what it takes to settle down at a table with a napkin round your neck and your stomach standing to attention! There are some lovely weekday lunchtime formulas, and others at 23 € and 27 € from the menu-carte at 35 €. The "daily" (sniff, it's no longer the case) is veal with crayfish. You should see my neighbours wiping their plates clean. For me? "Crème de châtaignes et son escalope de foie gras saisi" (chestnut cream and fried foie gras). The chef starts out really well! It's not fair to do this to me at my age! I wasn't expecting it! A well mastered sweet at 15,5/20! When you start like this you feel nervous about what will follow and wrinkle your forehead with a worried look: "pavé de saumon et sa crème de poireaux" (salmon steak and leek cream). The dish is pretty.

The slice of orange is unnecessary, the broccoli flan is a success and the risotto with Corinth raisins will have been gobbled by the time you come here! The fish is irreproachably cooked. 14,5/20. Ending the meal here would be a real shame. I nearly do, that's why I said it. I would have missed the "trio de desserts" represented by an Opera, a Castel and a strawberry cake. They aren't laid out in a show-off manner. The portion is well calculated to satisfy, whilst flirting with a feeling of "not quite enough". And the incredible thing is that they are all homemade! 15/20! All of the staff in the dining room seems to be working in the same direction. The well advised wine menu includes national wines and about a dozen of each colour. There are even about half a dozen sorts of Champagne! The manager is called Marc Taine. He was 28 when he ate his last pumpkin soup, and he is the kind of man to take side-tracks to live his life. Even if he has a University degree in history and has experience in car sales, he came back to the restaurant world and passed notably through Jules Verne and the Ritz in Paris. He is a polymorphous talent visible in Cotignac. You may be interested in prolonging your visit by staying in one of his hotel rooms.
