“ We have just enjoyed one of the most thoughtful and delicious meals in a long time. Patrick owner/chef made us feel most welcome,his English far better than our French and was kind enough in his own country to speak our language. 3 courses,all of which were flavourful and used ingredients from his own garden where possible. The setting beautiful and Patrick was a wonderful host where his passion and love of cooking shone through. If you are ever in the area please don't hesitate to visit Philopholia you will not be disappointed. Many thanks Dave and Emma ”
