Depiste desserts being their strong point, they also have a wide variety of dining options, whether you've come for breakfast, lunch or dinner. When dinner time comes, you can start out with their soupe a l'oignon charcuterie, escargots en croute, steak tartare or foie gras poele, or some of their delicious mussels, with garlic, herbs and white wine. When it comes time to pick a main course, you can choose from their Duo de Chevreuil, venison served two ways: sliced egg with cranberry cornbread, mico greens in a apple demi glace, and baked vanieson stew of carrots, turnips, haricot verts, mushrooms and foie bechamel, Truite en Croute de Pistache, pistachioand spice crusted trout with new potatoes, asparagus, bacon, onions, red peppers and pasley oil, or poulet roti au herbes, herb-roasted chicken with Yukon gold potato-leek-black truffle gratin, mache salad in chicken jus.
