General impression:
A gem of a restaurant, small and cozy, full with the beautiful yellow of La Provence.Very very authentic family cooking of the Provence region. My comfort food of all time.Wonderful rillette, liver adds that strong dark flavor loved by all who loves rillete.Pie is savory yet light, very delicious blend of ingredients.Amazing fish soup, just like Bouillabasse that I had in Marsailles, esp. with the bread with spread to be immersed in the soup....that's the real way to go!! Succulent fish and shellfish filled the plate, redolent with the fragrance of saffron.Tender, succulent lamp slices, juicy and red, super yummy.Pie to die for, light and fluffy as clouds, with a hint of citrus jam that cleanses away the heaviness of the meal.So satisfied....
