Restaurant Le Saint Père in Tonnerre

Last week we went to Tonnerre to buy some of my favorite red wine -Epineuil. Before buying our wine we had lunch in the Restaurant Le Saint Père in the Rue Georges Pompidou. We entered  the restaurant which was a little dark inside to be greeted by tables occupied by local people. The restaurant was full and we got the one remaining table for two left.  We had a chat to two gentlemen dining beside us. The food they were eating looked gorgeous. We decided on two menus and shared the starter and dessert. The starter of Terrine of smoked beef was one of the best we have ever tasted. We followed up with Bavette steak and chips The steak was really well seasoned and the chips were great. We shared a Vacherin for dessert and this was another fabulous dish. Vacherin is a meringue based dessert but it should not be confused with the cheese of the same name. The starter and dessert were home made by the chef. The restaurant and service was unpretentious and just as we like it . The presentation of the food was not Michelin starred but the taste and quality of the food was; if not better. We washed the food down with half a bottle of 2016 Dampt Freres Epineuil rouge. We had a great meal and wine in a friendly environment for 63,20 Eur. This was tremendous value for money. I highly recommend the restaurant and it is worth going to Tonnerre just to eat here.
