We’ve known the brother and sister owners over 25 years and after a two year absence we were joined by friends for a short trip over the border for lunch.

I started with warm goat cheese and greens.

Next came guinea fowl.

My wife chose pike-perch filet.

While our vegetarian friend ordered a vegetable platter.

And there was one beef filet order medium rare.

Dessert was an ice cream soufflé Grand Marnier.

My wife chose Alsatian ice cream cake.

This was today’s timekeeper.
