The food here is wonderful. Even eating light you could gain weight. The “Menu” – which is a fixed price 3 course (typically) meal - is what we’ve been ordering because it’s usually cheaper than even a single course “à la carte”. They basically give you a choice of three appetizers, three main courses and three desserts. Here are some highlights of our food in Provence.
The jar here has sardines mixed up as you would tuna. These aren’t your fathers sardines in mustard sauce, these are fresh and lighter than tuna.
Roast chicken with couscous. Couscous is big around here. There are a lot of North African influences (Tangine and curries).
Some Rhone wines…
Crêpes crêpes everywhere…
This was a smoked chicken, parmesan and sweet corn salad. Very light and good. This was our lunch.
Escargot and shrimp appetizer (my first time with snails and they weren’t bad – a bit chewy is my only thought). This dish had a rich cream sauce – not heavy but I probably would have been fine with this appetizer alone for dinner.
A simple beef in mushroom sauce dish of Provence. We see a lot of this sort of thing here (steak is big here). The beef is good but to be frank we do it better back home.
And of course some phenomenal desserts. This was a chocolate torte.
