Good morning Val,
Just thought I should update you on Restaurant Univers in Villefranche de
Rouergue.
Having eaten there pretty regularly and found the food refreshingly
different from the standard heavy Aveyron fayre, we were disappointed on our
last foray to find that their pursuit of the cheaper cuts of meat (admirable
though it is) leaves very little on the menu for those who prefer not to eat
offal ! The amuse bouche was gesier and this set the tone for toasted pigs’
trotters, sweetbreads, tete de veau etc. There was a fish option which was
not good and the usually excellent puddings were below par. I think they
have lost their way which is a great shame as there are so few places to
eat. There is also a move to unnecessarily take the wine list up market...
I noticed too that the restaurant in Memer, recommended on TAG, has closed.
Does anyone know what happened or where they went ?
