Dinner at ZONE BLEUE
We love the evenings where we cook for our guests and sit around our big dining table in Salon Bleue or in the garden, enjoying home cooked local food and fantastic wine from nearby Saint-Pourçain. But we also know our limitations, so we are cooking for guests only on Sunday and Monday where we know it can be difficult to find open restaurants in our area. If you want to join dinner we need to know at least the day before.
We are cooking with the seasons, simple but good using ingredients from our vegetable garden when possible and other fresh local ingredients. We normally have a main course and after that cheese where most of it is coming from a fabulous organic goat farm Le Ch'ti Cabri very close to us and finishing the dinner with one of Edith's delicious desserts. In the wine cellar you can choose quality wine from our wine partners in Saint-Pourçain .
On other days we offer a simple quick warm meal from our partner Les Bocaux du Bocage with a warm baguette. Naturally we also recommend our guests to visit some of the excellent local restaurants. Please note that all these restaurants below are busy so please book well in advance to secure your table....
