Square Meal review of Auberge du Lac:

This gorgeous lakeside restaurant benefits from the attention of executive chef Phil Thompson who delivers food that’s casually modern & tipped by Michelin as a rising star. Expect starters such as pressed foie gras, quince & smoked duck terrine served with spiced pear chutney & mulled wine jelly, & mains of halibut & braised oxtail dumpling teamed with winter root vegetables & horseradish velouté, or slow-roast rump of beef with salt beef croustillant, Madeira-braised snails & parsley root purée. Desserts are nothing short of memorable, whether it’s a saffron puff pastry filled with Calvados sautéed apples & served alongside apple pannacotta & Granny Smith sorbet or warm rum-poached banana with peanut butter custard & rum & raisin ice cream. This is cooking that holds nothing back,. Waiting staff make all the right moves, the wine list, as expected, is impressive, & to round it all off, the setting is simply stunning.
