The dishes are prepared with fresh local ingredients and staff were very friendly and professional.
Everything is freshly prepared, and well served, but personally I thought the BBQ sauce( homemade) was a bit overpowering the porc fillet….
Michelin star worthy.
Recommend.

Having eaten at many Michelin star restaurants, I would say that this restaurant does deserve its star. The highlight was the egg parfait starter. The main course of lamb was perfectly cooked, and the peach and nectarine dessert was very fresh and refreshing. The wine choices were excellent and the proprietor is clearly an expert in wines. We were served by two people, an older man and a younger man. The older man, who I took to be the proprietor, was courteous and kind and very patient with our attempts at French. The younger man was quite different. When we arrived, he corrected our French when ordering items - I took this in good spirit, as I would like to improve my French and so tried to take his tips on board! It was all a bit bizarre thereafter. He poured water very close to my husband's head into a flower bed (the water which had been in another table's wine chiller). I dismissed this as a bit of a relaxed moment on his part and thought that it was quite funny - however, he did it again later in the meal and I started to think that it was something deliberate (and rather childish). He also brought our main course over to our table, but then hovered the plate in his hand about one inch from the table in front of my husband while turning to talk to the table next to us. I again let this go, but subsequently he put two wine glasses down on the table and then turned round to talk to the other table without pouring the wine. It was all a bit odd and not what you would expect in a Michelin star restaurant (or any restaurant for that matter!). This man's behaviour was somewhat dismissive and rude. I don't know what it was, whether that we are gay or British (or both!), but I have never experienced anything like this in any restaurant. I hesitated to write this review, as the food is excellent and the service from the older man was courteous and pleasant. However, if there is an element of discrimination, I feel that it is important to record it and maybe it can be improved on, as the food is great!
