We both began with the fish soup which was less rich (a good thing!) than the Provence Marinaside example. It was good on a warm day because it is so much south of France for us but we will enjoy it on a cool Fall or Winter day as well.
It's actually rather rare to get this dish outside of France. It is a fish broth which you pour in the gruyere cheese and accompanied with crostini and rouille sauce (is a sauce that consists of olive oil with breadcrumbs, garlic, saffron and cayenne pepper).
Then I had the calamari salad which was very good but really too much calamari for me although it was very nicely grilled with no batter. Jim helped out. Getting a perfect calamari is very difficult as I prefer it deep fried with a very light batter but it has to be just perfectly cooked which almost never happens.
Jim had the steak frites which was probably one of the best steak frites ever...wow! I got a bit.
I can see Jim always getting the steak frites and I just might get that too from time to time and I almost never order steak. But I will have to try the bouillabaisse next, then the prawns basquese, then the rack of lamb first.
