La Fleur de Thym - Contes

The prices have risen a lot, but eating is not good enough to explain it, the host is not very welcoming

We have visited this restaurant several times for lunch and have never been disappointed. this is in the ground a man woman business, with the husband the very talented chef in the kitchen down and the woman the busy front of the house. the clientele are in the regular local businessmen at midday, although many customers come from the close of nizza. there is in the regular a very good plate of the day and a somewhat more expensive bark dish of the day, or a good à la carte menu. for example, today was the court of the day pintarde, and the bark was an entrecôte that we selected. it was one of the best entrecôte steaks that we have tried and very good value. the cook is proud of its supply with bark meat, and its sauces are delicious. the selection of weeping is wide for a restaurant this size, and even the pichet of the local rosé was good. this is one of these restaurants that they reluctantly check because they want to keep it for themselves (and of course the locals

As ever good service, superbe foie gras, REALLY good filet de bœuf, brochette st Jacques well cooked but served with an odd assortment of vegetables.

We were staying in the area for a few nights and found this very good restaurant which was just right for a good meal and wine. I had been a bit worried that I might not find good food so was very happy to find La fleur de thym, here it is, good food, good friendly service and lovely wine. Up to date French modern classic food, well presented. It feels like a family run restaurant at a guess and there was a real sense of pride with very welcoming service. I loved it.

Dashing home with work to do and nothing in the fridge, I spy the ardoise outside the Fleur de Thym: Fricassée de pintade 11€. My car swings into the car park of its on volition, I'm swiftly seated and within 10 minutes I have an excellent glass of red and a generous plate of DELICIOUS guinea fowl, wonderful sauce and delicate pillows of gnocchi, piping hot. Heaven. Bravo.
