Decoration on central table 8 August 2009
I have already posted on the very good meal we had in late June at William Pages' Le Lièvre Gourmand in the small town of Vailly-sur-Sauldre. We went back on Saturday night and chose the 49€ menu – we had tried the one at 39€ in June. The 49 is certainly worth the additional 10€ – it was stunningly good. All the dishes were great, whereas in June we had been very impressed with everything except for the pork dish. Unfortunately the photos do not really do justice to the presentation!
