Ancien Hotel Baudy, Giverny, France

Another card that I have found is this little place close to Monet’s house. Giverny is about Midway from Paris to Rouen. It was one of those sunny days when we just fancied a lunch out in the open having enjoyed the house and gardens where Monet painted his famous works. The food was rustic, the garden busy and the weather was glorious – a definite must next time in that region.

Have a look at the typical menu here: http://www.giverny.fr/IMG/pdf/Carte_restaurant_2010_-2.pdf

Aljibe Restaurant, Yaiza, Lanzarote

I have discovered a couple of cards from trips to restaurants and one that stands out is this restaurant. Its part of the Bodegas Stratvs winery and doesn’t look to have been open that long. Serving fine dining, you can expect a decent meal – and of course, washed down with some of Stratvs’s own wine – and good wine it is, as is others on the island such as the wines from Bermejo.

I don’t have a record of what we ate but I do remember starting with papaya gazpacho and enjoying the food from that moment on.

Le Chateaubriand, Paris


The above is a beaten up menu from 2009 when we went to Le Chateaubriand. A fabulous meal and a place I can't wait to get back to......I'll edit this post with more information...
