As we tried to translate the menu on the board outside and determine if we should go into La Petite Gourmand, a lady came out and said they had an English menu inside. It turned out that she was the chef. The restaurant is very small, only seating 15, and all the tables were actually reserved but we had an hour to order and eat before having to clear out by ~8:30pm. We received a little bowl of purple potato chips while we were still looking at the...

Soon after we ordered our meals, calls for reservations started coming in, and soon there was only a table for two left. All entrées are €10, mains €21 and desserts €6. The two-course dinner was €24. I wasn’t sure I had the stomach for an entrée because I’d eaten the almond and honey slice not long before, but mum said she’d have it if I couldn’t finish.

Instead, I bought a provencal miel et amandes (€2.20), which was like a slice with a biscuity base, a layer of honey paste and a sliced almond topping. It was pretty nice, though too sweet to eat too much at once. It reminded me of honey joys, which isn't surprising seeing as they both have honey. [caption id="attachment_5669"...

Tonight we went to L’Epice and Love. The entrées were €9.5, plats €12, entrée + plat was €16.80. Mum and dad both got escargots as their entrée. At first I didn’t want an entrée, but changed my mind later and added on the papeton d’aubergine. Dad and I got the traditional dish of Daube de Toro and mum had the ½ Magret of duck with honey and lemon sauce.
