Pizza lunch here with Bill after finding all the other restaurants in La Roche closed! (Restaurant Le L has moved near Angoulême. Le Coq d'Or no longer serves food. The restaurant by the chateau, where we last ate with Zena and for which I've never made an entry here, will be re-opening soon under new management.) Pizzas were pretty darn good.

Friday, 27-February-15

Lunched here with Sally&Mike. Not too bad. A three-course meal with wine and coffee is €13. Starters were carpaccio, salmon "chiffonade", and charcuterie. Mains were veal Milanaise, a piece of beef (faux filet or bavette), and some kind of fish. Desserts were apple tart, chocolate, and something else. All we had was good. Good value for money.

Have not recorded several recent meals here.

Stopped here for lunch after slipper shopping with Jody and Steve. Big salads for three and a tartine for one. Although it sounded yummy, there was too much cheese on the salmon tartine. The salads were great.

Stopped here for lunch while visiting a bric-à-brac. We both had very nice entrée salads. Can't think of eating more after this.

Lunched will Bill before taking him to the train station in Angoulême. He had a bavette with shallots. Ed and I, having eaten too much protein in the last days, had tartines with a green salad. These made a nice lunch.

Wim and Patrice took us to dinner. Lots of meat, good, but lots. With frites. Starters were nice, but big. Ditto desserts. A pleasant experience, even if we were stuffed afterwards.

Aside: The "new" blogger/blogspot stinks. Just in case you didn't know. WYSIWYG it's not.

Ed's birthday lunch. A very nice meal. Lots of meat on the menu and what we had was quite good quality, a beef filet for Ed and a faux filet for me. Both with frites. The house wine was a Côte de Duras, which we didn't know, but was quite good. One crème brulée and profiteroles for dessert. Good stuff.

This is the old L'Oubliette, open now just over a year and we finally made it. The plat du jour at lunch was €12 including four courses and wine. For a starter you could have crudités or charcuterie (a homemade terrine). The main was a leg of guinea hen with rice. The sauce was nice and peppery, some of the table thought too peppery, but I liked it. Then an amazing cheese platter. And a choice of desserts. There was a gratin de fraises which I skipped but looked delicious. Next time perhaps.

One of the worst restaurant meals we've had here. We lunched with Bill and each of us had a different selection from the day menu. None of the meals was even mediocre. Never again. And too bad, because the location is handy.
