Monday 27th February
Saturday night we had a vegetarian evening on the Café. Run by Carl and Reynaud who have a Chambre D’Haute in town and also run a vegetarian food stall on the market, it was a great success. Vegetarians are poorly catered for in France, “I suppose I can do an omelette” is a typical reply when you go to a new restaurant and as usual there is no veggie option at all on the menu. We were a bit unsure, we knew maybe half a dozen vegetarians but were worried we wouldn’t fill the place. As usual we shouldn’t have worried, we were full and could have sold a few more places. The food was excellent, including the centerpiece, a huge baked cauliflower on each table which looked like a rising soufflé. And very little was left on their plates.
I served the drinks and a great time was had by all. It now looks like we will be having both an Indian/Thai and a Veggie evening once a month until the summer. Another addition to Eymet life…
