Well it’s been a manic few weeks but we’ve made it through the halfterm madness relatively unscathed . For those of us without children it is an insight into the world of babywipes, endless patience and multitasking. I thought running a restaurant whilst maintaining a healthy social life had shaped me as a multitasking heroine but I was seriously put in shadow by one mother.  Her 3 children, bounding full of energy and curiosity, were pottering about exploring the nooks and crannies of Le D. She managed to feed all 3 of them, and herself, whilst chatting in depth to her friend, not for a second losing her train of thought with intermittent comments of…”no peter”…”careful Molly” …”what’s the magic word?”.  All the while maintaining a sing-song, calm tone of voice as Peter threatens to open the door and stroll out into the street, Molly is scrambling up a threateningly toppling bar stool and toddler is toddling near the top of the stairs. I never really understood all the French congratulations cards, declaring “chapeau!” but in this case “I take my hat off” to all you mums! The debris of children’s food droppings sprinkled on the floor has been swept away and all that is left to show for the madness is a wonderful selection of drawings from ages 3 up, which OF COURSE I’ll be putting up on my fridge! That, or I am considering a Take Hart style gallery ….(although the possible colour overload on a wall of Le Délice does give a colour-coordinating addict like me the heebie-jeebies, I don’t know how you parents cope!)

The new menu’s been going down an absolute treat. The Chinese BBQ pork ribs have created their own following , and we can’t seem to make the lambshanks quick enough. If any of you missed the new menu changes, you can peruse it’s delicious details here, just click on evening menu on the right hand side of this page.

Our sushi and live music nights, every Thursday, have been gathering momentum. Amazing sushi and Jon’s laidback playing and singing makes for a consistently intimate and friendly atmosphere.  Unfortunately he’s not able to play this evening but will be back next Thursday playing his acoustic mellow covers.

Don’t forget we’re open all day, everyday, serving lunch and snacks from 11am till 6pm (homemade burgers, 9.90 plat du jour, tapas, sandwiches and soups) and our a la carte international fusion menu from 6 till 10pm.

Please call us to reserve your table if you fancy dropping in for dinner (tel: 04 50 91 52 06) as we’ve been bonkers busy and I absolutely hate turning people away unfed and unwatered!

Hope you’re all enjoying the child free slopes and adult conversation

See you soon
