Today my prayers for sunshine were answered.
Even the lizard was happy... sunbathing in the warmth of today's sunshine.
Today, the French celebrated "Mother's Day" and the restaurant at "Le Clos Grand" near Cahors was full with families honouring their mothers.
We enjoyed a wonderful culinary experience for lunch.
We were offered a three-course dinner of a starter, main and dessert.
With our aperitifs, we were served amuse bouche (single bite-sized hors d'oeuvre selected by the Chef) of melon and prosciutto.
Next, there was a choice of six starters, we all chose seafood dishes which tantalized our taste buds.
The ladies both chose the "Skewer of grilled shrimp and calamari"... absolutely delicious!
At this point, this would have been more than sufficient to satisfy my hunger, but there was more.
Next there was a choice of seven different main dishes.
I continued with the seafood theme.... A platter of four different grilled fish...
Monsieur Honey chose ... Duck Confit
And then dessert... If you know me well, I always have room for the sweet things!
It was hard to choose what to have, so I went for the surprise...a plate of three delights..mini treats of
Rum Barbar, Crème Brûlée, and a Crepe with Chocolate Sauce.
Fresh strawberries and Chantilly...
It is the season in France.
If you haven't tried this restaurant or you are in need of a room...give this Hotel / Restaurant a try..
