A big thank you to Linda for her review of Le cool heure from pretty long along My wife faced book them this week to check on if they were back from vacation and the chef (wife) quickly responded back in French, nous sommes ouvert Thankfully my 4 years of French meant take a break from the pool and enjoy lunch break
My wife started having abdominal issues about a week before we left and this was a nice change from the rich food we have been eating
Just south of the basketball courts in Grand Case, Le Cool Heure sits nestled behind some bushes and trees A husband runs the front of the house while his wife does the cooking The simple dining room was filled with friendly locals, we absolutely love spending time with them and making new temporary friends
The chalkboard menu has no appetizers and about 10 main entrees the server was kind enough to go through the menu with us as there were two I could not translate (Veal Kidneys was one)
My wife played it safe and ordered the salmon requesting rice to help settle your belly Although the salmon was thoroughly cooked, it was perfect for her
I ordered the dourade (mahi) which was nicely plated and garnished with a few tasty shrimp I put the aioli on everything, it was so delicious
Wines are not more than red or white with 4 available by the bottle all for less than 30e
Our neighboring table suggested the "floating island" and mentioned it was her mother's favorite A nice piece of meringue served on a creme anglaise Wow my bowl was clean, worth the trip back just for that
Along with check were 4 small pastries, such a nice touch for a casual lunch
Lunch was $65 dollars including 2 glasses of wine and bottled water
I am so happy we finally got to try a new restaurant
