Right now I am in the middle of writing the next edition of BSL and I have been debating what restaurant to critique. Top of the list in these straightened times was Lou Pebre D’Ail in Lauris. It’s known for providing the most fantastic value for money - three courses and wine for 12 euros. Everyone says that it’s great and it must be because the couple of times we’ve tried to go its been fully booked. Last night though we had some friends over from England who were staying in the Moulin de Lourmarin. Due to the rain they were unwilling to venture out and so we ended up eating in the empty hotel dining room. The Moulin was the old gastronomic temple of Michelin starred Edouard Loubet who has now moved to Bonnieux. It's now being run by the Pellegri family with a new chef - Philippe Brun. Poor old Philippe was probably looking forward to another night off when the call came in that he had a booking and so for opening up their dining room in February when other more illustrious hotels (such as the Bastide du Gordes) keep theirs shut, I thought I would do a review. You’ll have to wait for the magazine for the full version. There were some definite highlights such as the John Dory topped with fried foie gras and some lowlights such as the last minute substitution of chopped peaches for the fig confit that was supposed to accompany the foie gras starter. As you might have already gathered there was also a lot of foie gras. Overall it was a good experience.
