The new La Provence publication ‘A Table’ has lots of recommendations for all locals who like their food!
The news section has information on new products, restaurants and events – like Marseille’s forthcoming Oktoberfest (26-30 Oct). There is a section on coffee to link in with MuCEM’s next exhibition ‘Café-In’ (see last post) with three recipes for very tempting quick Italian desserts made with ice-cream and espresso.
There are recipes too from gourmet chefs including Guillaume Sourrieu at Marseille’s L’Epuisette and Guillaume Maurice at the Dolce Frégate in Saint-Cyr.
Restaurant reviews include Albertine which is the new venture from Gérald Passedat. This is in the trendy ‘Les Docks’ development and is called after the chef’s mother who died recently. And I learn that champion swimmer Florent Manaudou is involved with a new place on the Quai du Port, called what else but La Piscine?
Aix’s Le Zinc gets a review as well as new ventures in Arles, Avignon, Gordes and Manosque.
Ninety pages of local inside info to get your teeth into…..3,50€ at news-stands.
