Auberge Du Lac

Had to meet some of the family out of town for lunch so with settled on Auberge du lac.

We ariived at 1pm and as it was such a lovely day we were shown into the consevratory, served some water and given some nice canapes. We choose from the lunch menu which was very good value @ £32,50 for 3 courses and 2 glasses of wine. Of the starters the cauliflower soup and the ham hock terrine were good, and of the mains the cod with salmon croquettes was very good. Dessert of chocolate tart was fine and the cheese selection was impressive (but a £5 supplement).

The wine list was typical of a 1 star restaurant both in terms of choice and price. However as we had 2 glasses of wine included we stuck with them, the South African sauvignon we had was perfect for my cod.

Service was relaxed, friendly and very professional.

All in all a nice restaurant with great views and a bargain of a lunch menu.

We had lunch a la carte, as the lunch menu failed to attract enough interest. Both starters and mains were very well received, most notably my main dish of pigeon. Desserts were utterly disappointing, totally out of place in a Michelin starred restaurant. Surprisingly, the little cookies accompanying the coffee were excellent. Service was most attentive and we enjoyed our apetiser in the pleasant terrace facing the lake. After lunch, it is really enjoyable to walk around the surrounding grounds.

It is a nice place, but juzging only by the food's quatily, many other restaurants in London serve more interesting dishes for the same price. But they are not set in parland...
