L'effet reve - Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie

L'effet Rêve is a small shop tea room which has signs stating that everything on the premises is for sale. That includes the table you sit at, the crockery and cutlery you use to the delightful items of decor decorating the quaint premises. There...are only a handful of tables and chairs and the menu is limited but the food was fresh and tasty. St Quentin La Poterie is a delightful village just kilometers from Uzes and if you are in the area it is definitely worth a visit. So too, L'effet Reve. You can just browse the shop, have a cup of tea or coffee or indeed lunch.

Dropped by on the off chance and, yes, there was our favourite, a dish of figs with gorgonzola and Bayonne ham. Simply lovely. It,s a shop offering light lunches. The furniture and artefacts are all for sale. It's romantic/rustic in style. At least it has...a strong identity and you know you're in France.! The owner is an enthusiastic cheerful lady. A very nice place to be for a light lunch.

We dropped in for lunch to this shop/ Salon de The and sat in the courtyard. There was a choice of three starters, mains and three desserts. We chose the vegetable gratin with a glass each of rose. The wine and water were quickly...served and whilst our food was cooking we were given green olive tapenade and toast. Then our mains arrived, a steaming hot dish with the gratin in plus tabouleh, grated carrot and tomatoes. It was delicious, the only issue i had, I was hungry and had to wait for it to cool! We followed this with coffee. This all came to The food was very tasty, beautifully presented and service excellent. All this in a quirky little courtyard in a shop. When we asked about the gratin Madam told use it was glutton free as well as vegetarian. If you are looking for somewhere to eat or have a drink in this village you would be hard pressed to find anywhere better.

Went for a meal and a concert. Had booked our table in advance, calling in person to made the reservation as there were friends of ours playing in the band that night. On arrival it turned out that our booking had not been written down, but they recongnised us and apologised. This meant that the restaurent was overbooked and we were crampled up a corner. Food was average but service was very slow as there was not enough staff to cope with the numbers of tables - as it was booking- only then extra staff should have been employed. Probably better place to visit out of season.
