Grandclaude 's cuisine, although impressive, just failed to reach that level. The restaurant is tiny, but nicely decorated and with enough space between the...few tables. The service was impeccable. We visited at lunchtime. The menu selection is very small, which doesn 't bother us as there is nothing we don 't eat, but this might be a problem for some and they should check the current menu before committing. My wife chose the 3 course Menu Évasion at Euro 32 and I the 4 course Menu Flaveur. The starter was hugely promising a beautifully 'reinterpreted ' version of a salade Vosgienne, normally a rather simple peasant dish, but in this form great to look at and quite delicious. My fish dish was bream with tomatoes, broad beans and feta, and it was good; the deep fried fish skin was a nice touch. Our main dish was purple artichoke with duck, raspberries and beetroot pulp. Neither of us thought this was a very good dish; the artichoke and duck were rather bland, and what taste there was was overwhelmed by the beetroot. Our desserts were tasty and nicely presented cherries with honey and muscat for me and a pineapple and mango babajito for my wife. We drank house wine and rounded off with coffees. We will return a second time in the months to come, but the Ducs de Lorraine remains our clear favourite in Epinal.
