Les Trois Marchandes

I love food, especially well presented, excellently cooked delicious food....stirs the senses, comforts the soul and feeds the feel good factor.

We eat out more than we can really afford and hence eat in the every day sort of pubs and restaurants, not the upmarket eateries with known chefs and backers.

We have found a restaurant in a small town of Guemene in Brittany that is well worth a visit.
It is open for lunches, and in the simplest and best of french practices offers a plat du jour for €10.50 including wine.

On Saturday we were delighted with an assiette of smoked herring and cabbage with a tamboule of vegetables and crevatte.

The next course, excellently cooked slices of cold roast beef, beautifully pink in the middle served with mayonnaise, french bread and butter. Simple but oh so delicious!

Duck legs with a potage of flageolet beans, potatoes and carrots to follow.

Finished beautifully with a cinnamon spiced apple crumble and rich cream ice.


I look forward to my next visit...may it be very soon.
