Evening meals
(from €30) are usually four courses (with coffee) and can include
such favourites as:

Twice baked goat’s
cheese soufflé with
red onion marmalade
Cooked oysters served on a bed
of sautéed leeks with a parmesan
topping Mixed seafood salad or home-smoked mackerel
served with a Thai dressing
Seared
duck breast served with plum sauce Duo of salmon served with a creamy herb sauce Lamb shanks served with an orange and mint
sauce

Coffee cognac
pannacottas served with balsamic strawberries Individual Grand Marnier chocolate mousse
Cherry
frangipane tart served with cherry ice cream

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). In addition to serving French food and local
specialities we also like to use recipes that we have collected during
our travels overseas.
