| - I honestly thought I'd written a review on this some time ago -
Auberge was a wonderful experience with friendly, attentive wait staff and a relaxed, classic, slightly rustic decor. The degustation menu was thoughtful and flavours balanced with good contrasts built into each dish - as was to be expected.
Alas, I'd developed a food allergy to shellfish and elected to make one substitution which they were gracious enough to grant. While I can't be precisely sure, the egg-based substitute was tasty, but somehow, in that mysterious way that your body signals - didn't quite agree with me.
Well, my disagreement with that dish built and built - and let's just say the evening was just as unforgettable as the meal, albeit for nigh diametrically opposite reasons.
Be that as it may, I enjoyed my meal thoroughly, and look forward to a return trip, sans the insouciant bits of the experience.
