Minted

I needed some mint for a lamb dish we were cooking for some friends arriving from the UK, so I nipped into the garden to pick plenty before they arrived for a dish I’ve been making for them.

They were staying a few nights and we had planned a few things to help celebrate one of their birthdays. Tonight the four of us were heading out to the little restaurant in Essoyes, called ‘L’Union’. The menu changes daily depending on what is available, and always has some interesting dishes. The apéro and entrés make for good sharing plates, a convivial way to start your meal.

The wine menu offers some interesting choices as well. One of the young owners though is very knowledgeable on his wines and great to ask for a recommendation.

It’s fast becoming a favourite of ours.
