le Sans Sou...ci - Orval sur Sienne

Delicious lunch in a small, cute, fun atmosphereLoved that this wasn't a super touristy place - just delicious French food with friendly staff.

Have they read nose to tail eating by fergus henderson? do you want to eat the recessions? then this restaurant can be for them. we had porkbacke (joue de porc last time we were there, and it was delicious. but perhaps not for the weak heart, although probably much healthier than what most people eat today. it came with fries, hand made on the ground. the midday male at 12,00 € offers a limited selection, in which there are usually two appetizers, a hot (I had a very fine quiche and a cold (meat cuts etc). there are two or three main courses. Mealtime drinks are included as puddings. the latter require a separate batch. the vater (in the silent? of the owner/cook used to be a pâtissier (school chef). his secrets are not well maintained. we had crème brulée, also made on the ground, and it was so good I had to get the recipe that they could see in the attached pictures. it takes a lot of egg yolk, so they can ask themselves what he does with the white. pirate, of course, you see the picture!

We arrived hot and sweaty during the bike tour, but were greeted with a smile and a table with a sunshade was set up for us outside. we were pleased to have the plate du jour of grilled jambon frites, followed by ile flotant. All...serves quickly and kindly from a charming host who hasn't spoken English, but she's graciously set up with our pigeon franchise! great value.

This was a super small, super cute restaurant in the old city It had the smallest oysters we found in the city which are my favorite.

Have you read Nose to Tail Eating by Fergus Henderson? Would you like to give eating some ot the recepies a try? Then this restaurant may be for you. We had pork cheek (joue de porc) last time we were there, and it was delicious. But perhaps not for the faint at heart although probably much healthier than what most people eat nowadays. It came with french fries, hand made on the premises.The mid day meny at €12.00 offers a limited selection, usually two starters, one hot (I had a very fine quiche) and one cold (meat cuts etc.) There are two or three main courses. Meal beverages are include as are the puddings. The latter require a separate paragraph.The father (in-law?) of owner/cook used to be a pâtissier (pastry chef). His secrets are not well kept. We had crème brulée, also made on the premises, and it was so good I had to get the recipe which you can see in the attached pictures. It takes a lot of egg yolks, so you may wonder what he doses with the whites. Meringues, of course, see the picture!
