Le Bout du Monde ~ French/New Caledonian pub grub - Noumea

We decide upon a dining rule for future trips to Noumea - if in doubt, then Le Bout du Monde.



Le Bout du Monde is open every day from breakfast till late supper. Its been our saviour on a public holiday Sunday when pretty much everywhere else is in Noumea shut and even the tumbleweeds have left town. We see this place not just as a pub\cafe\bistro - but as a public service.

The lunch menu has similar prices to everywhere else in town, there may be fancier places to dine, but the servings are generous and the quality consistent.



The seaside pub vibe here is welcoming and relaxing, attracting everybody from Kanak kids and extended families to salty sea dogs, bar flies and bright young things. The staff are friendly and hardworking.




Classy.



Fillet mignon de pork - pork fillet with your choice of sauce and sides. Tops pub grub.



Fillet de cerf - grilled venison, tastes like beef.



There's an all you can eat salad bar which is a bargain for big eaters at just over 2000xpf, though if you're a little eater, like Shawn's mum, it's a bit pricey. We were most impressed with the perspex salad bar cover which goes up and down at the press of a button, it's very much like Maxwell Smart's cone of silence.



Adoilette double - two intestine sausages: rich, tasty and stinky poos. It’s an aqcuired taste but once you have it, arse sausage is is wonderous.



Salade perigourdine - a hefty plate of salad with chicken gizzards, foies grais and bacon. Another fetish we have developed is the french salad, a meal in itself with a perfect mix of freshness and fat, and this one is a corker.



Marrowbone - we just had to sneak in this extra entree to try it. Super lusciously rich and lardy yet light - a few small pieces goes a long way.



Cafe gourmand - another winner.
