His French heritage is stampedall over the menu. He calls it “FR-Irish” food.We adore the braised lamb shank; the duo of Lough Erne perchand the salmon tarte fine. Then there’s the pan-roasted duck withcherry and mulled wine. MmmmmMost popular though is the traditional Sunday roast rib of beef.It’s slow cooked for 36 hours and just melts in the mouth. Thevegetables and herbs come from his garden on site while themeat is locally sourced. Two courses start at just £19.95.The wine list is also worth a mention. There are some interestingchoices at reasonable prices. Pascal keeps it in a special cave. Allthat, and stunning views of Lough Erne.What’s not to like?Get there: Kilmore Quay South, Lisnaskea, Co Fermanagh, BT92 ODTGet in touch: t: 028 67 724 369 e: reception@kilmorequayclub.comw: www.watermillrestaurant.org
