La Table de Sorgues still rocks!

Couple of nights ago Jude and I visited celebrated ( top TA restaurant in the area) La Table de Sorgues in the Avignon suburb of Sorgues right next to Chateauneuf du Pape. We wanted to check out whether new owners Stephane ( chef) and Stephanie ( front of house), from Strasbourg, were maintaining standards. Pleased to report: absolutely, full marks - the ambience may have been a little low key but, come on, a cold Thursday night in January? - most restaurants in the area are firmly closed for the annual congé right now through lack of custom. We both had the ceviche of scallops with pomegranate and lime ( a wow dish) and Jude a roast cod, me a venison in a ceps sauce for mains - superb “à point” cooking and pleasantly correct/simple presentation. The cheese course comes to the table on a trolley ( love the theatre), great selection with the addition of quince jelly and a truffle infused honey. To go with a Viognier from the Sabon family at Janasse , a long time favourite of ours. With great service, all in all: Bravo! A go to restaurant for our Chateauneuf based ( 10 minutes away) Rhone Wine Tours this year.
