Today we have been busy in La Maison Rouge, making sure everything is in working order before the BIG Spring Clean next month!! When we do this we seem to come away from each gite with a bigger list of jobs than we we started!..
At 12.00 Mark suggest lunch. Fabulous idea. Assumptions are such dangerous things…. In my mind I thought he meant lunch in the Bonne Joues across the road. A gorgeous Auberge, I could almost taste the rabbit terrine with the tiny crunchy gherkins and the wonderfully fresh bread and then I found myself hoping that chicken cooked in cidre would be on the menu.
Bonnes Joes Restaurant Monterrein
We left La Maison Rouge and turned the corner.
‘Where are we going?’ I asked vaguely pointing at the Bonnes Joues that was rapidly beaming a distant dream.
‘The D8, today it is a workers lunch.’
It started well.. Quiche, charcuterie or fish bake to start. The usual bottles of red were on all the tables.
Then it went down hill… ‘Veals head, beef tongue or pork cheek.’
What do you go for?… we both went for the pork cheek and it was actually very very good.. the meat was so so tender and no fat, no gristle just lean tasty meat. Delicious.
Cheese, Tarte Tartin and Expresso… Not bad at all
€26 for us both including wine and coffee..
