Last Wednesday was my birthday (65!) so we went out for lunch. We chose L'Epicure in La Roche Posay because it opened just before we left for Australia and our friend Sihan (from the Restaurant l'Image in Preuilly) recommended it.
It looked like everyone else dining there was with business colleagues. The restaurant offers a three course menu du jour Tuesday to Saturday for €25, and they are closed on Mondays. They have taken over the former pizzeria in rue du Falk.
We had parsnip soup to start, thankfully without the curry spice that is ubiquitious in British versions of this soup. It was the best parsnip soup I've ever had, thick, velvety and nicely parsnip flavoured. Then Simon had whiting and I had flank steak, with mash, seasonal vegetables and pesto. Once again, a perfectly cooked 'onglet', and super tender without sacrificing flavour. For dessert Simon had a crème brulée and I had a pear tartelette Tatin. Crème brulée is a classic and I always like a Tatin of pears as a change from apple. I had a glass of sparkling wine and a strawberry Diabolo, and we shared a bottle of sparkling water to drink.
