Le
Manoir Alexandre has established a large part of its reputation among
French gourmets with one particular dish: the house speciality quail stuffed
with foie gras. The Trojan horse of this palace of gastronomy, this dish
is exclusive to this establishment. The quail is partly deboned, stuffed
with foie gras and covered with Port jelly. It is cut in half lengthwise
and eaten cold on toast.
Le Manoir Alexandre has also become one of the most famous producers of
duck foie gras in France. It has been awarded a gold medal for its semi-cooked
pasteurised lobe of fat liver of whole duck and a silver medal for its
fat liver of whole duck by the "Concours Général Agricole
du Salon de lagriculture" of 2003.
Le
Manoir has all types of foie gras, but there are also other dishes prepared
with the same attention to quality and respect for the countryside. Of
course, duck is served with all of the usual sauces.
There are confits (preserves) of breast and thigh of duck: magret - stuffed
breast and cassoulet (stew with beans). Also, not to be missed, is goose
neck stuffed with duck foie gras, and le Manoir's tribute to its Aveyronnais
background - serving stuffed cabbage and tripous (tripe). The establishment
also offers a selection of the famous wines of the Lot river.
