France - Brittany Day 04 - La Marmite de L'Abbaye

 Tucked into the center of Lehon, near Dinan, is La Marmite de L'Abbaye.
 It is small and very charming especially the wife of the chef, Madame Borgnic. She was a delight to converse with about travel, food and life.
 My wife started with a duck terrine, lightly pickled prunes and salad.
 I had the lightly smoked and pickled salmon, which is on par with that of the West coast of Canada. The fresh lemon, a little olive oil and herbs on top brought out the rich flavors of the fish.
 For a drink we had a bottle of cider. Very nice!
 We both had the guinea fowl with a great sauce of apples.
 My wife had sorbet made with curd and a house made breton shortbread cookie.
I had the creme brulee.
