Ten for Puycelsi

Dear Val
Summer seems to have come and so the restaurants at Puycelsi are thriving. Last Sunday we took a friend to Les Cabanons on the village square where Chloe waited again and greeted us while Stephan cooked his usual wonderful menu - goats cheese fondu, steak or confit du canard. A definite 5 as usual.
Meanwhile the Jardin du Lys has changed  hands. Dorothy Alexander has decided to cut back on the amount of work she was doing and has allowed three of her former staff to take over. Today we tried them out. it was Mothers day and although there were several couples with their small child there was also an enormous party of 21 which seemed to have at least three Mamies, many Dads and Mums and about 5 children. We all enjoyed their menu du Fête du Mere with a gateau of chevre and mint for the starter, stuffed chicken and a vegetable lasagne followed by a panacotta crumble. So for them a new entry for your gourmet guide and another 5.
Both restaurants have a two course weekday lunch for about  €15.00 while on Sundays it is €21 or €22. Both pride themselves on the fresh local ingredients that they use and that all they serve is fait maison. 5 and 5 makes 10 please for Puycelsi
