La Cuisine D'amelie Domaine De Fontenille

We chose this place as Michelin’s Bib Gourmand is usually a good sign. Inside a sizeable hotel, but the phone rang endlessly when we call ahead running bag slightly late. Welcome was distracted no lamp on table, waitress didn’t notice when the one we requested wasn’t working, so we gave up. My husband knocked over his glass of water and soaked the table no one noticed. Small plates were overly complicated: far too much going on in each one, adding up to an incompatible jumble overall. Flavours all over the place no balance, overdone or underdone, no happy medium: completely tasteless brandade, ridiculously garlicky bruschetta, “Asian” beef which no one from the entire continent would recognise, with a bizarre mint pesto. A first: our teenage son had no interest in dessert. There were grilled meats on the menu, but they seemed strangely overpriced: 35 euros for 300g of lamb chops. The setting overlooking the gardens was pretty, The ingredients were fine, the problem was what was done with them. On the plus side, it wasn’t expensive.

We booked through this sight but the restaurant had no record of us. They were closing the kitchen and were pushed to order. The food was delicious and on a regular day it would be a beautiful setting However today was incredibly windy to the point that our wine glasses were blowing off the table. Our friends bread actually blew off the plate.
