La Petite Auberge

My girlfriend and I dined here last Monday. The restaurant was quite busy for a Monday night, which I feel is indicative of it's popularity. We were both very impressed with all aspects of this lovely restaurant.

The lighting is very subtle and the various items adorning the walls / ceilings I feel add to the character.

If I am being hyper critical then I'd say the venison terrine starter was slightly lacking in flavour, however the roast quail main was excellent, as was the chocolate mouse dessert.

I also rate the service very highly - the staff were very friendly and attentive.

£80 all in with a £30ish bottle of (very nice) Sancerre. We even received two complimentary cognacs at the end of our meal. They've won me over and I'll certainly be dining here again!

An older review below makes reference to tatty menus and the possibility of the chef taking Monday off (which may well have been the case at that time, as a lot of restaurants are closed on Monday's), however they have evidently replaced their menus and I could not fault the food.

Highly recommended.
