After our excursion I joined a group of three friends for a drink an then dinner - two of them were finishing school the next day. It was a great fun group, and multicultural - 1 Aussie, 1 Swede, a Swiss and an American. and the food.... where do I start, SO GOOD!! If you’re one of my foody friends, now is the time to look away, its jealousy time! In the evening the streets of Aix come alive with hundreds of restaurants which are hidden during the day. Tables and chairs are placed out onto the small streets and the atmosphere is amazing - it would take months to eat your way through each of the different restaurants in this one town... hmmm interesting challenge...
For Entree - I had the Rillettes de Canard Confit Maison avec espices - basically duck salad... words cannot say...
For Main - I had the Alouettes de Beouf broisees ou concasse de tomates, ecruse de pomme de Terre - rolled minced beef with mashed potoates and tomatoes. again... mmmm
For Dessert - what else? the Fondant chocolat - ahhh..!!
We had a lovely (well, 2 actually) bottle of the local rose wine with dinner and finished with limoncello - superb!
Amazing food, beautiful ambience, interesting conversation, fun people, great wine - and a wonderful time had by all!!
I spent a lovely quiet afternoon in the park chatting (in french of course) on Friday afternoon - it is one of the few cool places in town!!
