"For Sunday Lunch we went to Le Mekong Restaurant Vietnamien 13 Route de Bergerac in Saint Foy La Grande. We have driven past this restaurant for years. Its set back from the road, looks very unpre-tencious. Which is a pity. Last Sunday we both wanted to go out, to be together, enjoy each others company. But we wanted something to eat that was not French. The nearest Chinese Restaurants, you know the ones, stack it high, sell it cheap, where there are set dishes in heated racks, or you choose the ingredients for a chef to cook for you. Both are an hour away in Libourne or Bergerac. So we agreed we would try the Le Mekong Restaurant. It was delightfull. Once seated you choose your drinks and your Main Course. Then visit the cold counter, put your starters on a plate like Spring Rolls on a plate, give them to the chef who heats them. There are also cold starters, which you take as nibbles while waiting for the hot ones. After a suitable amount of time your choice of Main Course arrives piping hot! On completion you choose your sweet, this includes cheese as well as the puddings. The lunch with wine, a beer and vin petillant cost 45 euros. Although the food was different, we were pleasently supprised that we left without feeling bloated. This is one of our main hates about the UK. You are given at least 1 kg of processed chips with each meal. It ruins it."
