This
is
one
of
my
favorite
restaurant
experiences
in
France.
The
lake
is
beautiful,
the
restaurant
setting
was
great
with
ample
indoor
and
outdoor
(covered)
seating
options.
The
food
selection
had
a
little
of
everything
at
reasonable
prices.
Menu
at
21,
30
and
37
Euro
(prices
approximate).
I
highly
recommend
the
quenelle.
It
is
a
mixture
of
fish,
egg
and
breadcrumbs
that
is
poached,
then
typically
toasted
under
a
broiler.
The
result
is
a
creamy,
delicate,
bready
dish
that
tastes
amazing.
The
dish
is
more
or
less
indigenous
to
the
region
and
Nantua
is
specifically
known
for
their
spin
on
it:
with
pike
and
crayfish
tails.
The
owner
of
the
restaurant
was
more
than
accommodating.
He
did
not
speak
English,
but
some
of
the
server
staff
knew
enough
that
it
was
no
problem
to
order
(and
I
know
just
enough
French
to
get
by).
However,
I
suppose
Americans
in
this
part
of
France--and
at
this
restaurant
on
a
Friday
night--are
a
rare
sight
because
we
were
treated
to
multiple
Chartreuse
on
the
house
while
talking
to
the
owner
at
the
bar
while
preparing
to
leave.
He
was
very
excited
to
tell
us
that
the
restaurant
was
run
by
him
and
his
family
and
that
he
was
very
glad
that
we
visited.
I
will
be
back.
