Cuisine at La Maison Rose - from the garden, fresh, organic.
Our menus are conceived using quality ingredients and all are prepared from scratch each day.
Breakfast
Every morning at breakfast your hosts like to set you up for the day. There is always a wide choice; freshly baked bread (wholemeal and white), croissants, a large selection of jams, homemade lemon curd and marmalade, local honey, seasonal fruit such as cherries, apricots, peaches and melon, yoghurt, cheese, porridge, cereals and fresh milk, and a boiled egg. Plus a choice of teas, infusions, coffee (or decaffeinated), hot chocolate and fruit juice.
Lunch
We prepare picnic lunches for you to take with you on walking or touring days - delicious freshly made baguettes with your choice of filling, salads and fruit, cakes, chocolate bars and drinks.
Evening
And after an active day there is nothing better than relaxing on the terrace in the evening sun, with a bottle of wine and a four course meal. We know you'll be pleasantly surprised by the standard of the meals we offer. Our chef takes every care using fresh, local produce to create delicious, thoughtful and imaginative meals, cooked to perfection.
Local Produce
The Drome valley is a leader in the production of organic poultry, meat, fruit and vegetables.
But many of our ingredients come straight from the grounds of your beautiful guesthouse, there are fruit trees, walnuts and olives, and a vegetable garden providing a fabulous range of organic fruit, vegetables and herbs.
The free range chickens lay the most delicious eggs you will ever taste. Furthermore, our village butcher is renowned for the quality of his meat, and we take full advantage.
Many of our meals are inspired by recipes from Provence, and we offer some local specialities, some old favourites, and a few of our greatest British puddings, just to remind everyone that British food can hold it's own.
Wines
There is an excellent wine list of course, entirely French, but almost everyone is more than happy with the delicious Rhone wines we serve with meals, free and unlimited.
We can prepare meals for vegetarians on request; please do let us know if you have any special dietary requirements.
