Olivier Thibault
Unlike Le Clos de Jeanne, a new discovery, Olivier Thibault's Le Pot de Lapin is an old favourite, so it was a pleasure to return there for lunch last Thursday. A special pleasure as the cooking was particularly assured on this visit.
From the fine wine list, which naturally features plenty of Saumur-Champignys and Saumurs, we chose a spring cuvée – 2015 Terres Rouges, Saumur-Champigny, Domaine de Saint-Just made by Arnaud Lambert. It was deliciously seductive with soft black fruits. Dangerously easy to drink at lunchtime!
My creamy haddock starter was extremely good

Calamari rings
Filet de veau with caramelised shallots
Wonderfully cooked calves liver with buttery mashed potato
garnished with garlic and parsley
