Le Pied Jaune - Restaurant

A pure delight. Le Pied Jaune is a delightful little restaurant in the centre of Ceillac. The menu was impressive for such a small village set high up in the Alps. I decided to go for a salad and found I had a choice of six. All were impressive ranging from local specialty to Italian. The decision was hard to make but I eventually chose the Italian Antipasti and was not disappointed. This generous salad was served on a good sized board and beautifully presented. The variations were delightful with a spoonful of pate olives, courgettes thinly sliced and soaked in oil and herbs - which were delicious, a central presentation of rocket, aubergine, artichoke and sun dried tomatoes, thin slices of 'jambon', and two balls of croquettes with a risotto centre and melted mozzarella cheese. These were delicious eaten hot with the cheese melting. I can honestly say that this was the best salad I have ever tasted and finished feeling perfectly filled. Anyone visiting Ceillac should definitely spoil themselves to a superb meal here. They also provide an express menu during the day for a very reasonable price or a 'Formule du midi' for a set price.
