Lunch in Marmande--L'O a la Bouche

We took the train from Bordeaux to Marmande, a 45-minute ride.


I had planned to have lunch at La Grange, a 10 minute walk from the Marmande train station. However, when we arrived, it was closed. It used to be only closed only at dinner but it was now closed all day on Monday.


Right next door was L'O a la Bouche--located at 8 rue Clavetiere.


They offered a 3-course lunch for €15 or 2 courses for €12. The entree was Risotto a l'Infusion de Lard Fume. This wasn't quite risotto in the Italian sense but a rice dish with pork fat. Doesn't sound too good but it was actually quite good.


Main was Onglet de Veau a la Reduction Balsamique. This was good as well.


Dessert was Mousse au Chocolat. Very rich in flavor but light in texture.

L'O a la Bouche wasn't too bad a substitute for La Grange.
