For starter, try a Salad Rustique or Pomme de terre en Robe Crevettes crabes. As main course, either a delicious Médaillion de zébu or Escalope de volaille sauce vanille will fail to disappoint. For desert, why not indulge yourself in an Ile flottante caramel au miel and thereafter enjoy a cigar in the bar lounge with a Congac Camus Napoléon?
