"Having tried a few local good value auberges, we thought we would try a 'restaurant '. L 'Oeil is easy to find on the main road through Mouthe, opposite the Tourist Information shop. The main dining room is upstairs, decorated in typical country hunting and skiing style. As it was 1st November holiday the cheaper 'menus ' were not available, so we chose from the €22.50 menu. We were given an amuse bouche of mini potage whilst choosing. The waiter (owner I think) was very busy, buzzing about, but very efficient, and the dishes arrived with perfect timing. I had Morteau (local smoked sausage) in Forestiere sauce with figs to start; this was the best dish I had eaten in our week in the area. This was followed by duckling with cherries and a quinelle of artichoke hearts, also very good, whilst my wife enjoyed mushrooms followed by a faux-fillet. For desert I had Tarte Noisette and would thoroughly recommend this too, whilst my wife had the cheese board including the local Mont D 'Or. We had a kir and a beer to start, and a small carafe of rose, total bill €57, which for the excellent quality of food and service was a bargain. By no means Michelin, but well cooked country food at a fair price."
