Another beautiful day.
Brisk cycle ride this morning, I put in a lot of effort to keep up with
Kat and Paul and wasn’t too far behind when we rolled back into the
courtyard. No sheep encounters today. Lunch
was a long boozy affair on the terrace followed by a game of boules.
Tonight we are dining out at La Récréation, a restaurant originally
set up in 1993 by Jacques Ratier and his wife, Noelle, in an old school in the
tiny village of Les Arques. Its
excellent food gained a reputation locally but it won an even wider audience
after it featured in Michael Sanders’ bestseller From Here You Can’t See Paris.
We haven’t visited since new owners took over the restaurant
a so it will be interesting to see how it measures up. I’m looking forward to the lobster ravioli
that has featured on the menu since the place first opened.
Time with family is lovely and even better when going out to eat.
ReplyDeleteBuon appetito!
Greetings Maria x
My favourite pastime.
DeleteThat sounds like lobster sacrilege to me.
ReplyDeleteDoes it come with pasta?
DeleteIf only i could find lobster ravioli here...
ReplyDeleteIt was delicious.
DeleteI remember the Lobster Ravioli well; I wonder who supplied them? We've been having very good steak-n-chips at The Commerce recently. Lunch at Murat's in Pomarede is still excellent; pity we don't eat lunch.
ReplyDeleteTempted to try the Commerce again, I used to love sitting underneath the arches in the evenings.
DeleteThat looks a posh frock place. Hope that the Ravioli is still on! B. Ap.
ReplyDeleteMy new white linen dress - and I didn't spill anything!
DeleteNow you have me longing to be there - I adore lobster.
