Les Parallels, La Palmyre
Heard good reviews so gave it a go on the last night.
22 euro menu looked ok. Both of us went for pan fried prawns in garlic and that's exactly what we got. I assumed they would be peeled but they weren't. Spent quite some time peeling and eatingthem (and then wiping our fingers). However they were very good.
Roast perch went down well with my partner and I had a traditional Blanquette de veau. Nice rice, nice veg, reasonable veal but the sauce was strange. Chef said when asked maybe he forgot the salt but it seemed to me to taste of semolina (and sweet semolina at that).
Two home made tiramisu to finish were perfect. Two small pichets of wine and that was it. Waitress spoke very good english and the (translated into english menu) was done well with no schoolboy howlers. Worth another look next visit to France.
