I loved the idea of this place before I’d ever been. A one man, open kitchen firing out made-to-order delicacies all based on the glorious mushroom? Even the creme bruléé? Surely, it would prove a disappointment; a one trick gimmick designed for birthday parties and garden gnomes? Happily, it is a success on nearly every level. The restaurant’s warm welcome and cosy setting match the inviting smells and inventive wine list in getting bellies rumbling. So just how many dishes can you get out of a fungus? Enough to keep our merry party of 5 all happy and eager for the next dish anyway. Groups are recommended to go for an ‘ensemble’ which basically means following the whims of the chef. But proper order is followed and the result is definitely a square meal, not show cooking. An autumn walk in the forest with some successful hunting thrown in about covers the fare on offer, all imaginative and delicious. And not a smurf in sight… Details about this spot (Show on map).jpg)
