In keeping with the house owners, Terre Mère is a restaurant providing French delicacies ‘with a twist’, by means of wholesome dishes made with high quality elements. We went down one lunchtime to benefit from their terrace and style the perfect of what nature has to supply 
Terre Mère is on a small (however lengthy) avenue in an space not notably identified for its eating places and even its boutiques. The inside is tiny, with round 20 seats, however exterior on the pavement and terrace (that has changed two automotive parking areas) you’ll discover nearly as many once more.
Issues won’t look precisely like our pictures while you go, as our waitress defined they have been planning to make some modifications in September, akin to shifting the door to the left and putting in streetside home windows that may open up. Sounds good!
Other than that, the inside design is brilliant and options a number of completely different shades of inexperienced to echo the restaurant’s pro-nature stance, plus a daring contact of beige. Impartial, however not badly finished.
The thought behind the menu, created by chef Vincent Neveu, is to make use of high quality elements whereas respecting seasonal availability and attempting to maintain issues so simple as doable.
The lunch menu isn’t overly costly for the world, and the fixed-price lunch menu could be very pretty priced, with three programs for lower than 29€, albeit with a drastically decreased selection (solely the primary course has choices, and solely two at that).
We determined to have one fixed-price menu and order à la carte for the second particular person. This meant one imposed salad of inexperienced beans, artichokes and hazelnuts, and – simply because we fancied it – one bowl of chips!
Neither dissatisfied us – the salad was easy, recent and crunchy, served with an important French dressing and grilled hazelnut halves, and the chips have been completely cooked, with each a crunchy exterior and delicate, not too dry inside.
For the primary course, the hake filet was served with grilled courgette and piquillo peppers, each crunchy and served with an appreciably restrained quantity of sauce. The second dish (the one vegetarian choice) was mushroom risotto, by which the mushrooms have been properly agency and the rice was additional creamy, maybe an excessive amount of, as this appeared to water down the style somewhat.
In any case, the servings have been beneficiant, and the easy presentation was excellent.
To complete off, the fixed-price menu supplied a fruit salad, clearly recent however maybe not essentially the most enthralling dessert in all of French delicacies, whereas the second particular person selected a competently ready and introduced moelleux au chocolat. Dessert lovers ought to be aware that even if you’re consuming à la carte, there are solely 4 decisions, and they’re all fairly primary.
As they are saying themselves, Terre Mère prefers to maintain issues primary, however naturally tasty. Service is competent and relaxed, the dishes are all wholesome, and the terrace could be very agreeable.
For a peaceful, intimate lunch (or breakfast, or dinner), you would possibly like to provide them a attempt!
