L'Oree d'Orient - Mesnil-Saint-Père

We stayed in the Logis just across the road from this restaurant. Having read the menu at the Logis and the cost of meals, we went for a drink in the bar in the L'Oree d'Orient to recover! The barman was a character. It turned out he was also the chef (or cooker as he informed us. We went back later and ate there. We know it was late in the season and we were the only diners in the restaurant, but our host produced a superb meal of a size which negated any space for a dessert. He was attentive, polite and amusing. Not sure what other guests have expected, but whilst it is unlikely we shall pass through here again, if we ever do, I would certainly eat there again. Great Confit de Canard et Filet Mignon.

Finally a place that shines in presentation and taste in all their items (or the ones we ordered, at least).

Another weekend, another dim sum placeThis place had just moved from a nearby location so we decided to check it out one Sunday morning.

Super expensive and some dishes weren't even better than frozen dim sum I'm hadPass.

This place is a fantastic spot. The fresh water lake is so vast it has its own tide. Clear blue water and lovely sand. Lots of boats to hire at a reasonable price. You can park your car or motorhome on the road right next to the beach. I had been to St-Tropes the day before and was disappointed with the beach and the absolute disapproval of motorhomes in the area. NO PARKING FOR MOTORHOMES!. I stayed at L'Oréal d'Orient camping ground with my motorhome but spent all my time at the lake. I will be back here for a 2 or 3 week stay next year. Worth the trip.
