Another New Restaurant - Le Moulin des Lèves

During our week at La Matha, our friends left for home on Thursday, leaving Pip and me to drive back in the van on Saturday.  We decided to go out for a meal on Friday evening - not too late, as we wanted an early start - and tried phoning La Terrasse.  No reply.

We then planned to go to St Foy and en route see if a new-ish restaurant that we seen in Les Lèves was open.  We didn't know what it was called, as we had only seen it side-on, turning off the D672 on a short cut just outside the village, just before the restaurant.

It was open, and it is called Le Moulin des Lèves (although I couldn't see a windmill anywhere near!).  At first, we were the only people there; a bit later a party of 16 women arrived, but they went into a separate dining room.  Just as we were finishing, a family of four arrived, who were clearly friends of the man who was front of house.

It was an interesting menu, and the food was delicious - I had red mullet tartare as a starter, followed by maigret.  Both were well presented, and the duck was cooked perfectly.  The wine list was slim, but had wine that we liked.

We would definitely recommend it - not as good as Gensaké, but worth a try.
