Clafoutis is so beloved by our guests that it frequently features on our menus at Le Manoir and also in Brasserie Blanc. A clafoutis is a baked dessert featuring a thick batter over fruit. Traditionally, the fruit should be black cherries, but other stone fruits, such as peaches, plums, apricots or figs, work well too.
