Le Moulin Neuf, Lanet

For a farewell meal with Shake’s parents we went to a lovely restaurant two villages away in Lanet, along the river Orbieu.

Before the current proprietors took over, the site was known for Pisciculture alone. Now they have combined this with the restaurant, serving their own trout (caught to order!) alongside other delicious dishes, at very reasonable prices.

We made friends with their pets too…

Making friends before lunch

We didn’t all choose trout, but sampled at least one of each item on the menu; veal, beef, and salmon. Although the menu was small (and nothing for vegetarians, we’re in France of course!) each dish was beautifully presented and so delicious. My meal was accompanied by a vegetable clafoutis with their home-grown produce. I will be trying that myself soon…

Shake’s salmon

Oh, I can’t forget dessert! I didn’t manage to take a photograph before I started eating (bad blogger) and I really shouldn’t shown you an almost empty plate, but I will as it was amazing!

Nectarine and raspberry dessert

Tiny cubes of nectarines, raspberry jelly, vanilla ice cream and raspberry coulis topped with a super light meringue. Ooh it really was great!

We will just have to go back and take some more photos for you. Or, come and visit and you can take us our for lunch
