A Taste of France

Last night we went to the most adorable and quaint restaurant on a back alley in St. Tropez called
L'Auberge de Maures. The restaurant is small, with round tables, flower table clothes and small flower pots. As soon as you walk in, you know you are getting authentic French Cuisine. Although we had to wait a little to get a table, we asked to see the kitchen. The chefs showed us what they do and even let us cook fish and make their famous pork shoulder! 

















 When we sat down, we were overwhelmed by the huge menu and the amazing choices. Since we love vegetables, Eri suggested the artichoke stew. The waiter told us that the leaves and hearts of the artichoke were stewed for up to 6 hours in just there own juices and some olive oil. When the dish came it was steaming hot and absolutely delicious. It was so good we ended up ordering another for the table! 



For the main course, we decided on their most popular dish, the loup (a seabass). We had helped earlier with the preperation and couldn't wait to actually try it. Once the fish was cooked the waiter brought it out and showed it to us whole! 




Once filleted, the fish was served with some ratatouille (a mix of vegetables in a light red sauce). It was simple, tasty and savory. 

This restaurant was incredible! Everything was amazing: the environment, the service, the perfect blend of tastes and the beautiful presentation. 

Keep visiting our blo for more delectable French meals! 

Love,
