Who? Me
Food Style? Touristy Pub
Vallon Pont d'Arc is a super small town, mainly here to cater for the tourists wanting to explore the Ardeche Gorges. As a result, I expect a lot of these restaurants to be quite touristy, and with a name like "The Coconuts", I'm not expecting much at all. But I'm here because I feel like a burger, and a burger I shall be ordering.
Burger

Hamburger Coconuts - potatoes, steak, green salad, goat's cheese
I have eaten many burgers in my lifetime but even I was surprised when this came out. I know the French word for potato so I knew it would be present, I was not expecting the buns to be hash browns. I don't think I've ever had that before. I had a breakfast burger from Burgerfuel with a hash brown in it, but this is ridiculous. It is also quite delicious and juicy, with the beef patty cooked medium rare and the cheese coming through nicely. It's completely lacking greens but I suppose the salad and salsa on the side makes up for that. I think given all the physical activity I'm doing tomorrow, it's perfectly acceptable to be carb loading like this.
