Quite interesting

Some friends arrived yesterday, stopping off on their way south. It was great to see them all, and hear their news.

The weather unfortunately wasn’t particularly good, so they escaped the list of jobs I had for them, and instead we all enjoyed a crazy game of QI. An afternoon of useless questions and lots of laughter.

For dinner we headed out to ‘Le Marius’, which is a delightful, traditional and stylish restaurant in Ricey Bas.

It sits in an old cellar, beautifully lit and very comfortable. They have a rather interesting menu, with some great combinations. I had ‘un œuf parfait’ for a starter, which had been perfectly poached and served on a caramelised onion compote. I followed that with kidneys in a mustard sauce. The food and wine was all rather delicious.
