Le Mille Feuille

We were so lucky that we had lots of friends and family decide to vacation in Provence with us for our first couple weeks there.  On our first week there A&E were staying at the apartment with us and offered us a night out.

J and I headed to Le Mille Feuille, a restaurant recommended to us by Rebecca whom we had booked a private tour of the markets with (awesome and deserves its own post).

It was a rainy Wednesday evening, so the restaurant wasn't very full but that just meant that the staff were able to give us extra attention.

We both went with the full menu that included an entree + plat + dessert for 41 euro.

J had the beef carpaccio as a starter and I had the Caillette des alpes rotie.  I could never really explain in true detail what all went into either of these dishes so it is just easier to share the photos.

For the mains I had the fish and J had the perfectly cooked lamb chops.  You might start to notice that we eat a lot of lamb while we are in France.

Carré d'agneau de Sisteron rôti, légumes du moment au sautoir, pomes de terre sautées, et vrais jus



The desserts are just as fantastic as the rest of the meal.  J with the chocolate and me with a Paris Brest. I have no idea what mine was, but it was delish!

Paris Brest à la noisette du piémont, feuillantine croquante praliné, chant illy et crème anglaise



We finished the night off with an evening walk along the Cours Maribeau.  It was surprising just how quiet the streets were in the evening.  Very different from when we were in Rome and there were always people milling about on the street.
