What a great surprise.  Classical,<br \/>\ntraditional, quality French food, not too posh and not too fussy, but<br \/>\ndelicious and tasty and made with lots of fresh local produce.<\/strong>  Would<br \/>\nexpect this sort of food in a city, not in the middle of the countryside.<br \/>\nFood cooked by Gregoire the French chef (with 27 years of cheffing<br \/>\nexperience behind him &#8211; 16 years of which were in top notch kitchens in<br \/>\nLondon) and served by his English wife Rachel (or their French waitresses<br \/>\nin the summer).  <strong>You have to book during the season.<\/strong>  A must for all<br \/>\nvisitors to Normandy who are searching for that hidden and oft-thought<br \/>\nlong lost French gastronomic experience that doesn&#8217;t bleed your purse dry!<br \/>\nNot downmarket by any stretch of the imagination and very cosy and pretty<br \/>\nin style, as well as being great value.   <strong>The review below is in French<br \/>\nbut basically says what I am saying.

Un endroit<br \/>\ninattendu \u00e0 Saint-Fraimbault. et c&#8217;est tant mieux car la surprise n&#8217;en est<br \/>\nque plus agr\u00e9able. Gr\u00e9goire Charles, cuisinier de son \u00e9tat, apr\u00e8s avoir<br \/>\nlongtemps travaill\u00e9 \u00e0 Londres a eu le coup de cour pour le village et a<br \/>\nd\u00e9cid\u00e9 d&#8217;y apporter sa touche personnelle. Papillon, c&#8217;est \u00e0 la fois un<br \/>\nresto, un salon de th\u00e9 et une \u00e9picerie fine. Le fil conducteur, outre le<br \/>\npapillon &#8211; petite citations \u00e0 l&#8217;appui -, c&#8217;est de m\u00ealer habilement local<br \/>\net international avec pour mot d&#8217;ordre la qualit\u00e9. C\u00f4t\u00e9 cuisine, celle-ci<br \/>\n\u00e9volue au gr\u00e9 des saisons et des envies du chef. Le terroir y c\u00f4toie les<br \/>\nsaveurs d&#8217;ailleurs, de quoi vous donner des envies de voyages. La salle de<br \/>\nresto aux pierres et briques apparentes est rustique, chic et<br \/>\naccueillante. C\u00f4t\u00e9 \u00e9picerie fine, dans le m\u00eame esprit que la table on<br \/>\nretrouve des produits locaux ainsi que du bio. D\u00e8s que tea time arrive,<br \/>\nvous avez rendez-vous avec Rachel &#8211; Mme Charles en l&#8217;occurrence &#8211; et son<br \/>\naccent so british : excellente s\u00e9lection de th\u00e9s et de caf\u00e9s accompagn\u00e9s<br \/>\nde p\u00e2tisseries maisons.
