MANOIR DE LA ROSERAIE

After a good 2-hours touring Chateau Grignan we were rewarded by lunch at the Manoir de la Roseraie, the most sought after hotel a stone throw away from the Chateau, at the bottom of the hill. The setting is an original 19th century house on a huge property. The gourmet restaurant is in the middle of the garden, surrounded by handsome tall trees. I believe the name is La Rotunda because of its shape. Our first response to the fixed luncheon menu was 'run of the mill' but we could not be more wrong. The dishes may be common place but the quality of ingredients and the cooking were first class. The 'LIKE' vote around the table went to the 'Foie Gras in Consomme' which blew us away. It was a totally out of this world dish .. no crispy skin, no juicy inside, no jam puree or chutney, no toasts and of course no excess goose fat .. just the simple and natural taste of fine goose liver in the tastiest consomme only the best skilled chefs can produce. Delish!

If for any reason you are in the Grignan neighborhood make sure you visit the Chateau and to make that experience whole, dine here, you will not regret or forget.
