This is a tale of two contrasting visits during the course of our recent fortnight’s holiday in the area. On the Friday, at the end of our first week, we went to La Bergerie in the evening to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. It was a...splendid evening - lovely table with views across the countryside and excellent service only slightly spoilt by her request to have no dressing on her salad - it was heavily dressed…. That said my oeufs starter was great as was my wife’s pork steak with spaghetti and my steak frites mains. My wife and I went the following week on 14 July, France’s National Day which might explain the difference. First there was was much less choice for the €38 Menu, I opted for the oeufs once again and my wife had the gravelax which, while it was a very generous portion had a very heavy dressing which was not to her taste. We both had the pork for our main course, we asked for frites and got sauté potatoes, ok not a serious error. However the belly of pork was very over cooked and the sauce it came with was not enough to overcome the dryness of the meat. The side salad was sodden with dressing and was a wilting mess. The tiramisu was not a tiramisu just a creamy mix. The Clafoutis was ok but was a little on the heavy side. Another plus was our demi-carafe of nice white wine and, of course, the view. Our second visit was very disappointing, maybe it was because of the public holiday, maybe a stand-in chef. The bill for our second visit came to €90 which we thought was not good value due to the quality of our main courses and deserts. So, if you go I hope you get them on a good night.More
