| On my first night I had creamy fennel and Pernod soup, followed by a modern take on a traditional French cassoulet, with velvety dauphinoise potatoes on the side. |
| It was as good as I'd suspected, its rich red-wine sauce adding a depth of flavour that was enhanced by the accompanying creamy dauphinoise potatoes. |
| The next course was poached salmon with herb crust, dauphinoise potatoes and winter vegetables. |
| Both were made with top-quality ingredients cooked to perfection, accompanied by nicely al dente vegetables and creamy dauphinoise potatoes. |
| My venison fillet could have been cut with a butter knife, although the dauphinoise potatoes were a little short on garlic. |
