Aux Vins des Pyrenees

The Southwest region of France is known for its food. After all, this is where the Perigord is located and from which the famous truffles come. Less known are its wines. But once you've been introduced to the beauty of Malbec's original terroir, there is no going back. This restaurant consecrated itself to being the culinary tapestry by which the region's wines would shine. So the menu is fairly simple: a dozen oysters to share for starters, a huge (1 kgl) chuck roast of beef 'Irish Vintage' to share between two or even two adults and two kids are the kinds of items you'll get to choose from here. Gazpacho, devilled eggs and other nibbles are also S. West classics that go well with these deep reds and sometimes sweet whites. Roast duck served with raspberries and beets as its cold side; and the French toast as dessert which is made with brioche (not bread!) served with melted salted caramel butter - now aren't these mouthwatering?
