L'ardoise - Reservar una mesa

l'Ardoise had been recommended by a local. We have been scouting the area to the East of Bordeaux and wanted somewhere for a pleasant lunch between viewing properties. L'Ardoise is located conveniently on the road from Moncaret to the attractive village of Gensac. It has plenty of parking and a comfortable shaded terrace for summer dining. The quality of the food was well above that normally expected at small country restaurants. Each dish, from the avocado and crab salad through to rouget and also kidneys with apple in cider, had a well selected balance of flavours and were beautifully presented. The wine list is short but attractive and the local Rose, recommended by madame was inexpensive and complemented the food perfectly. Portions are generous and I only wish that I had not consumed so much of the first two courses that I could not consider the wonderful looking Tarte au Figues for dessert. The selection of perfectly cooked vegetable, provided automatically as part of the price was outstanding and rare in France. If you are in the area we heartily recommend l'Ardoise. Booking for summer evenings is advised and Sunday lunch at any time is required.

This is up with the best rural French restaurants I have eaten in (alongside Les Deux Anges in Forcalquier. My wife started with smoked salmon, green lentils and asparagus, which was magnificent. I went for Chevre Chaud salad, a very popular local dish, but rarely served to such a standard as this. Similarly, mains of guinea fowl, and duck with raspberry sauce, were without fault. As with all restaurants in this area, there is a good selection of French wines available cheaply. If I was to try to pick fault, the lack of an amuse bouche was a little surprising in a restaurant of this standard, but this is a mere detail. The only slightly negative

We love this small, intimate restaurant and have visited for lunches and dinner. In May we had a memorable lunch on the outside terrace. In September it was dinner inside, enjoying the decor and appreciating the comfortable seats . Really good , attentive and friendly service from the owner and impressive gastronomy from her husband in the kitchen. Well priced and selected wine list. Highly recommend you visit but remember to book; others seem to know the secret!
