The first time I went to
La Rotonde by the Allier river was in December, for Christmas. I
was dumbstruck by the imposing modern architecture. But I was disappointed
when I saw there was no restaurant carpark. We had to walk ten
minutes in the cold, which is not good especially for old people.
The view on the river
illuminated by the sun was wonderful.
The tables were very
elegantly laid out, the cutlery sparkling clean.
The welcome and the
service were worthy of a very good restaurant.
The menu was varied and
all the dishes were extremely enticing, but I prefered to choose from
the specialities menu.
The water was delicious.
As a main starter, I
chose cream of aspargus with mushroom sauce. It was a little too
exotic for my taste.
The waiter, with lots of
good humour, then brought me a snail-filled puff pastry with parsley
and garlic butter. It was excellent.
The service was quick
which is always a plus.
The main course was foie
gras with chopped crunchy vegetables and a balsamic vinegar sauce. It was a real delight !
A crisp chocolate cake
with a red fruit sorbet was the delicious dessert.
All the dishes were wonderful. This restaurant scores
four out of five stars!
