La Table de Plaisance

There is a 2-star Michelin restaurant in St. Emilion--La Table de Plaisance.


It's located at 5 Place du Clocher. If you have a car, leave your car outside and give the keys to the maitre d'. They'll park it for you.


The interior is light and beautiful. You have a choice of a la carte or Menu Decouverte--3 courses with 2 wine pairings for €68 at lunch.


Amuse Bouche of Beetroot with Wine Coating.


Another amuse of Buckwheat with Seafood Tartar (served on a bed of rocks and seaweed).


Another amuse of Carrot with Compari Gelee (served on a bed of orange peel).

First course of Green Peas with Oyster Foam--this had too strong an onion flavor


The peas were paired with a Sauvignon Blanc.


Bread with Butter from Brittany.


2nd course of White Asparagus with Asparagus Veloute & Coffee Foam


3rd course of Ling Fish with Clams and Potatoes, with Fish Foam, Ling Fish Canele.


The fish was served with a Chablis.


Cheese course--€25 extra.


I chose a cow milk cheese, a gouda and a roquefort, along with several glees.


My husband sampled 4 goat cheeses.

The cheese were interesting but I would say not worth the €25 price tag.


Palate cleanser of Basil Sorbet with Java Pepper


One of the desserts was a White Meringue with Strawberry Juice


The other option was Raspberry with Marshmellow & Mint Jelly.


Dessert was followed by Mignardise of canele, macarons & chocolate tart with gold leaf.


We even got a gift to take home--raspberry clafouti.

Lunch here was much more memorable than lunch at Arzak. It helps to go to a 2-star place--they try harder to get the 3rd star.
