Out with Gill and Harry last night to Le Fourneau de Clelia for a double birthday celebration for Jan and Harry.
As far as we know, this is still the best restaurant around here although of late restaurants in Nimes, which is a little too far to be deemed to be local, are raising there heads.
What was interesting is how the owner of the restaurant, Laure, has changed things as a result of 'le crunch'. The menu used to offer a choice of three from starters, main and pudding for around 35 euros. Now, she offers no choice for the three course meal, which changes weekly, but has reduced the price to 24 euros. The food was still good.
Last night we had salmon gravlax, blanquette de veau a l'ancienne and pear tart. The wine list has also shrunk but a local domain, Domaine d'Orviel, from just down the road, featured well and we really enjoyed the wine. Overall very good.
