Breakfast is buffet-style and includes home-made granola and yogurt, freshly baked croissants, home-made jams (fig & ginger, black cherry, strawberry & rhubarb), fresh fruit salad, tea and freshly brewed coffee.   

Evening meals (from €30) are usually four courses (with coffee).   Here's a selection of some of the dishes we serve.  There are many more.

     tomato chilli jam

     leeks with a cheese topping

Individual chocolate mousse served with chocolate
ice cream

Fig frangipane tart served with fig & ginger

     And sometimes to finish, cherries soaked in
     cognac for 3 years and then dipped in toffee
     and dark chocolate - yummy

 




All our sauces, chutneys and jams are home-made, even the ice-cream.

 

We take pride in using locally sourced ingredients such as fresh fish and oysters from Charente Maritime, meat from the local butcher, and cheeses, vegetables and salads from the market in Jarnac or the nearby farm shop. Meals include a couple of glasses of local wine (red, white or rosé). We like to use recipes that we have collected during our travels around the world.
