Fork And Foot (formerly Two Clowns Tripping)
+4.5
Le Provencal is a throwback of sorts, to an uncomplicated time when word of mouth was king, and service just as important as the meal itself. Jean-Claude, head chef, certainly knows his way around a kitchen (his sauces in particular are divine!), while wife Julie manages front of house with effortless professionalism, offering unhurried advice, friendly banter and silence in ideal proportion.
Whether it’s celebration of one of life’s great milestones, or simply a celebration of life itself, Le Provençal offer genuine, classical French cooking from the heart.
Cute little French bistro in a non-touristy area. Decided to try this place as it was just down the road from where we were staying. This doesn’t appear to be a very touristy area so I think it’s mostly locals who go here. The food was great - unpretentious (but not cheap) Bistro style French food - the steak was great. Service was friendly and helpful - it’s a very small place so there’s only one person but she wasn’t flustered and knew the menu (and wine matchings) inside out. Make sure you book in advance as the place only has a few seats and was full on a weeknight.
After a long time between visits went back to this wonderful little restuarant and had a superb meal. French onion soup duck and a raspberry parfait for me all great. Sharon had soup the special of the night braised lamb shoulder and crime caramel which she gave big thumbs up. Great service and wonderful ambience. It won't be so long between visits I can assure people.
