This was our second and long overdue visit to Le Quatre Epices. Situated in a modern(ish) building in a park close to the centre of Craon there is no problem with parking. On a fine day one has the choice of eating inside or on the terrace under one of the large parasols; on this occasion we chose the outside option. There is a choice of three set menus, but as it was lunchtime there was a also the possibility of having a three course ‘menu du jour’ at 14.50 euros. One of our party of four went that route but three of us chose the cheapest 27 euro menu which offered the promise of some interesting and imaginative dishes. While we enjoyed our aperitifs and made our selections, we were served an ‘amuse bouche’ of duck foie gras.Madame chose a salad of quinoa with crevettes, grapefruit and a balsamic vinaigrette as her first course which met with considerable approval. Two of us elected to have a tasty combination of crabmeat, avocado mousse and a concasse of tomato with black sesame. A main course of nicely cooked cod was well received but I felt I had made an even better choice with my dish of pieces of monkfish in a delicious sauce americaine, served with wild rice.Desserts were equally good, light but full of flavour.The wine list was not extensive but had something for most tastes; our bottle of Cremant de la Loire at 22 euros worked well with our chosen dishes.Coffee with mignardises rounded off a most enjoyable meal. My only slight quibble was that the service could have been a little better, given that the restaurant was not that busy, however, we will not leave it so long before making a return visit.
