Today we had an excellent celebratory lunch at Le Mercy in the square at the centre of Saint-Georges-sur-Cher. This was our first visit to this restaurant, which recently changed hands reopening on the 19th May 2017. Previously it was called Le Delice des Mets, which didn't have very encouraging reports so I never ate there.
However, having had very good reports from friends who have eaten at the new restaurant we decided to try it out. Not only has the restaurant now got a new name – Le Mercy – but also a new, ambitious and refined style of cooking. It is run by Christine, who manages the front of house, while Erwan very effectively rattles the pots and pans.
The three of us were very impressed with the welcome and service, the high quality of the food along with an interesting and well chosen selection of Loire wines. The only negative point about the wine list is that it does not include vintages.
We started with a glass of sparkling Vouvray from Bernard Fouquet, one of Vouvray's best producers. We chose from the 23.50€ menu that offers three course with four choices for each course. During the week there is a two course lunch at 15.90€.

Sounds excellent! And this is one thing I have found surprisingly often at places we've dined in France: "The only negative point about the wine list is that it does not include vintages."
Maybe it has to do with the types of places we often eat at.
Thanks Bob. Given the ambitions of Le Mercy I do find it strange that vintages are left off the wine list.
