Our final night in Aix en Provence so of course we had to go out for dinner. We consulted Rick Steve's again and went to les Bourcherie.
The three course menu started with a salad bar that was just ho hum. Nothing special on the salad bar and not really done that great. The main event was the steak. These steaks are cooked in a wood burning oven in the middle of the dining room. Both our steaks were cooked a beautiful medium rare and came out perfect. They were delicious. The server had also put a giant jar of Dijon mustard on our table. Following the "when in Provence" philosophy, we added the mustard to our plate and dipped our steak in the sauce. The mustard itself was fantastic and went beautifully with the steak. A+ main course.
Our dessert was creme brûlée. Somehow we went 26 days in France without eating a single creme brûlée, and then get to eat it two days in a row. No complaints here!
To finish our trip in Provence we had one last look at the Cours Maribeau. A perfect way to end our trip by looking at the beautiful plane trees lining the street with green covering the trees. Spring time in Provence is a wonderful thing.
