General impression:
Really, really out of the way. So unexpected.Small restaurant, very modern decor.Lovely, large portion salad. Nice organic veggie.Wondeful cheeses with amazing walnut-cranberry bread. A very hard tomme, a very nice blue, and a very nice cream. Accompanied by tiny champagne grapes and fig jam, drizzeled with lavender honey, brings out the fragrance of the cheeses.Loved their bread. Acme?Too hasty in this visit. Must go again.
