La Casa

While the rest of Europe shuts down to stop the virus in its tracks, here in Esperaza a new restro has opened.  Sarah and Sonia - a mother and daughter team - are hosting at La Casa ( ex- Frites Normande and ex- numerous others) 41 Rue Victor Hugo. When we found it open last night, the opening night, we had already eaten so just tested the wine.

They sell burgers and Panini and Kebabs - basic fodder, plus two types of veggie panini and fish and chips for the non-carnivore.

My company was good; Richard and Eva had been working late in their studio at the ex-grand hotel opposite so we dragged them out and my nephew Paddy is here with his friend Louis. Most convivial :)

La Casa will close on Tuesdays (though not today, still setting up-) and close at siesta time but otherwise its there.
Bout time too.

STOP PRESS Just heard that there are NO buses to Quillan; there have been 8 new cases of the virus and they've closed the school and stopped public transport.
