Fish Sauce in Rural France

Since Vietnam is a former French colony, it makes sense that one can find Vietnamese food in Paris and other large cities. We didn’t expect to find a Vietnamese restaurant in Domme. Our host at the hotel highly recommended the restaurant, Comptoir d’Annam. The restaurant opened the year after our first trip to the Dordogne. We had dinner there our last night in Domme. This was a good thing, since my blood fish sauce level was getting perilously low after over two weeks of French and Spanish food. (We did have Thai takeout one night in San Sebastian.)

Comptoir d’Annam is run by a husband and wife who live above the store with their three children. Periodically the kids come down the stairs to investigate and ask questions of their parents. We were the first customers, but more tables got filled as the evening progressed. We started off with fried pork spring rolls. I ordered the five-aroma duck, while Julian had the prawns. Everything was excellent. We’d definitely go back when/if we’re in Domme again.
