General Comments

Maison Bleue is the sort of place that you would reserve for special treats, but its lunchtime menu and 'specials' board mean it's affordable more frequently. The French family who run the restaurant are welcoming and eager to please, and the decor is stylish in a seasidey, rustic sort of way, which strangely helps you enjoy the food more(I've never noticed this as much anywhere else.) Whatever you pick on the menu will not disappoint, as fresh local ingredients, well cooked by people with an obvious knowledge of and passion for food, can never be wrong. It's as good to look at as it is to eat, and the wine list equals the food. It would be hard to chose a favourite dish, and the menu changes with the seasons, but my most perfect meal would have to be a starter of crab cakes,plump and seasoned to perfection with a sweet chilli jam, and fragranced leafy garnish, followed by melt in the mouth cod baked in a herby polenta crust, with fresh seasonal vegetables (on the last occasion, buttery new potatoes, green beans, baby carrots and cauliflower mornay), and if your waistline can handle it, the dreamiest of creme brulee's with its crisp burnt sugar top and rich creamy custard speckled with fresh vanilla.... my mouths watering just writing it! There's also always a lovely touch like handmade truffles with your coffee, and seasonal treats such as the tiniest mince pies at Christmas, and little chocolate eggs at Easter, little touches that make you want ot go back again and again....and again!
