New restaurant in St. Antonin Noble Val

L'auberge des sens.

We decided to take our first visitors of the year to L'auberge basque in St Antonin and booked by telephone. We arrived to discover the restaurant has changed hands (again) and is now l'auberge des sens.

It was lucky that we had booked as it was full ( market day ) and too chilly on the terrace.

Although we were disappointed to find the basque restaurant had gone (it was a great place to take fish eating vegetarians) its replacement is a welcome addition to the eateries available in St Antonin.

The service was cheerful and friendly, if a little slow even by French standards, and the food was presented beautifully and most important of all was absolutely delicious. It would have had a TOF rating of 5 except for the fact that one main option from a choice of three on the menu was not available leaving our confirmed red meat eater having to choose between chicken or fish, they had also run out of the pear tarte tatin by the time we came to order our deserts and Trevor had set his heart on that. Nevertheless we all came out saying what a lovely meal we'd had and promising to return soon. It is early days for this restaurant, apparently we were the first to book a table by telephone, and  I  look forward to seeing if it can improve on an excellent start and I do hope they get more staff before the busy season starts - it could be a winner.

For now a TOF rating of 4 and we will definitely be back soon.
