Went last night with a friend and it's the first time either of us had been in some time. We were warmly greeted by the staff and shown to our table. Inside has an almost medieval feel but the modern furnishings didn't detract from the overall atmosphere. There was a wide selection on the menu and a good range of wines which were not too overpriced. Neither of us had heard of the potence before we so chose one beef and one veal. We could have asked the waitress but occasionally we like to be surprised. It arrived in good time and we were certainly surprised by the theatre of the presentation. Hanging off the gallows was a very hot spiked metal cylinder with my beef on one side and her veal on the other. Having made room the waiter then flambéd the meat. Rice and ratatouille were in the bowl beneath the meat and a side salad completed the dish. After all the drama we could have expected to be let down by the taste but no it was all delicious. Desserts followed and were beautifully presented. We eat out together regularly around Challans and this is one that's high on the list of favourites.
