Dinner in Saint Romain

There’s a small but delightful bistro in Saint Romain. When I was looking for a restaurant for us on the internet before we arrived, I could only find reviews for this little bistro on Facebook. We had telephoned them to make a booking, which they confirmed and advised that they opened at 19.15. We always like to enjoy a drink before dinner, so arrived just as they were opening and settled down at a nice table outside on the verandah.

It was lovely to be outside, but I have to say the interior had a pleasant, quirky style about it, and felt just as comfortable.

The waiter explained a couple of items on the menu for us, such as freshly fried whitebait, which was a sharing plate, and the confit of beef, which I chose, and was delicious. It was served with a pea mousse and herb crumb. I then had the hake, which was so well cooked. It was served with cauliflower and a veal jus, ‘de-licious’.

The stroll back to our gite was just 5 minutes, and all down hill, thankfully.

It was a beautiful tranquil little get away, which we have very fond memories of and will definitely return to one day.
