Very nice little place in a tiny village. We ended up there after wine tasting for some local pineau by Barbotin(Natol), that I highly recommend. Very nice ‘menu du jour’ and 3 additional menus, as well as ‘à la carte’.

We are staying in Thezac. Meursac is a nearby village and the place where La Table is to be found. It is behind the church, close to the community centre(hall, swimming pool, tennis courts). It is a gem, run by Julie and Julien Massonaud. Service is courteous and with a smile and a little English and the food is top-notch and you can eat indoors or out. After a couple of small free appetisers and a campari(not free), I made a spectacular start with nests(and they looked the real thing) filled with goats cheese and tomato along with a green salad. The advisor had a Mushroom Terrine, with toasted walnut bread, olives and gherkins. We each had the same main course, Volaille(in rough puff pastry case) with thinly sliced mushrooms in a prawn(yes, believe it or not) sauce. Absolutely gorgeous, the fish and poultry and mushrooms also coming together for a fabulous main dish. Desserts too were excellent. One was an apple pastry combination served with ice cream while I had the chef’s surprise: chocolate and caramel layers on a biscuit base with a lemon ice cream and a mango coulis. Lovely stuff. The three course meal came with a price tag of EUR19.00 a head. The wine, a Bordeaux blanc, cost EUR18.00 and we finished off with two good coffees at 1.30 each, every bit as good but a lot less expensive than you’d pay in Jacques. By the way, when you see chevre on a French menu, it invariably means goats cheese not goat meat.
