Bordeaux 12: Snails

Thursday 13th February 2020.






































After a very enjoyable morning at the Musée d'Aquitaine, we decided to go to our new favourite restaurant Le Petit Commerce for lunch.
Stuart hadn't had les escargots before, so I encouraged him to have one of mine:






































Come on little fellow.

Maybe if I turn you over.

Gotcha!

This one actually made it right in.  "Not too bad!" was the verdict.


The restaurant has a seafood bar on the other side of the narrow cobbled street, with the catch of the day displayed out the front.

When anyone in the restaurant orders seafood, such as Stuart's crevettes, the waiters carry the served plate across the road from the seafood bar, just adding to the general atmosphere of the narrow streets.
When we had finished our meal (we had whole sole for mains) one of the owners came and said because they thought we were very "kind" (and maybe because this was our third time there) they would like to give us another drink.  Have I ever been known to knock back a glass of champagne?
