Champagne Day, with all the trimmings

Dish du jour — 29/04/2013
While our personal budget for eating out is getting close to what economists now call “a fiscal cliff,” my wife Jan and I are persevering. So today it was a three-hour-and-forty-five-minute lunch (I know, not bad for a Monday) at … Continue reading
Lunch under the chestnut trees
Yesterday I reported on Tuesday’s superb lunch at Le Vieux Logis, a lovely restaurant that’s certainly worthy of its Michelin star. Now let’s have a look at a similar lunch the very next day at another Michelin-starred restaurant, Le Gindreau, … Continue reading

Lunch beneath the lindens
Yes, there’s been an interruption in my postings about our personal festival of feasting — but not because the feasting had ended. I was simply overwhelmed with photographs to arrange, and I needed some time to relax and practice some … Continue reading

Feasting at Le Vieux Logis
Well, I don’t know about your lunch yesterday, but ours was — quite simply — a feast. And it was just as much a feast for the eyes as the taste buds. We were lunching at Le Vieux Logis, a … Continue reading

“Wonderful, from start to finish”
“Wonderful, from start to finish” was how I described a meal we enjoyed earlier this year at Le Grand Bleu, the restaurant in Sarlat which richly deserves its Michelin star. (It’s so good that in this year alone, I wrote … Continue reading

Food fit for a birthday
We weren’t actually supposed to be here. Yesterday (Friday) was my birthday, and so we had made reservations to spend the night at Le Vieux Logis in Trémolat, an hour or so west of Daglan, eat at its Michelin-starred restaurant … Continue reading
