The chef at Le Piment, Sylvain, is fabulous. His style and imagination make his food a notch above the rest. Christelle and he are the owners of the restautant. Christelle is the lord of the restaurant as you have mentioned. Love the way she greets us every time we eat there. We visited Le Piment five times during this past vacation and loved every meal. I will admit that the white tablecloths caught our eyes also and we did eat there one evening. That too was very tasty and very well presented. The after-dinner rum that they give you is nasty-strong. Slept well that night since I had to drink mine and my wife's. And, they leave the bottle on the table if you care for seconds or more. The Madoudou that Le Piment pales in comparison. But, I do love the Banana Vanillae much better. Can hardly wait to see how you enjoy Le Cottage and the experience you have there. Hope you get the table you want. Happy Anniversary!
