Come here for the genuine french experience. Seven delicious courses of French Sunday lunch - wine included and coffee if you wish. It is a must for anyone interested in french food and long french lunches. Located in the pretty village of Grezels, la terrasse is a great insight into traditional french dining. The maison is superbly managed by le patron who greets seats and serves and attends throughout your delicious experience. Madam prepares the 6 courses beautifully. You are greeted by a well set table with genuine linen table clothes and napkins and an array of plates and cutlery that promises a great experience. The patron offers you an apperitif to start the digestive juices. A full carafe of red wine and cool water already on the table. The first course is delicious vegetable soup in a generous tureen to serve yourself. The next is a salad course with beautiful dressing. The next course was foie gras on toast with salad, dried apricots and gizzards, one of our groups favourite courses. Next was the fish course which was salmon with pink pepper corn tomato sauce and lemon. This was served with generous glasses of white wine. The main was beef with roast potatoes and roast tomatoes and salad. The the cheese course with a platter to your table with about 8 cheeses included which were beautifully prepared. The roquefort was superb soft sharp and creamy, obviously it had been at room temperature for sometime conditioning. The dessert was Brownie with raspberries in it with cream anglais and a sweet custard. You could have coffee if you wished. The dining room was a long cool well ventilated space with table setting for up to 50 delighted customers. You must book as no walk up customers are taken. There is no choice but the set menu which varies with the seasons. There was a mix of customers when we visited familes, couples, groups and friends. We are in the area for a month and this is one of the great and memorable experiences. We thoroughly recommend La Terrasse to all those french food lovers who want to immerse themselves in a great 3 hour lunch dining experience.
