When we were staying at La Matha at the beginning of the October, one day, we had lunch at Comptoir de Genès at Saint-Genès de Castillon. We have eaten there a few times before, and always enjoyed eating from the menu du jour.
This time, there was something on the menu that I had not tried before - Duck Hearts. These were to be grilled and served with frîtes. The waitress, who was English, had expressed her own reservations, but had commented that all through the week, customers had come back to eat it second or third times. I decided to give it a try..... Well, what can I say - they were really, really delicious!
They came on a couple of skewers, with a bucket of fries. Just like small sirloin steaks, which I suppose is right, as hearts are muscle and not offal like kidneys or liver.
The wine selection was, as ever good, and all the food we ate was of the highest order. This was definitely the best restaurant we dined in during that stay. Highly recommended!
