Visión general: | "One of the aspects of the South that has been a source of tranquility, has been the wonderful cuisine of Provence. What is so endearing about the cuisine of Provence is that it is simple and raw and honest, it is a fusion between Northern French cooking and Northern Italian cooking. the cooking of Provence blends local natural flavors to work with the farm fresh ingredients they use. They use more olive oil instead of butter in Provence, and more fresh herbs instead of dried, garlic and basil and lamb. Christophe Petra has a different spin on the cuisine of Provence and includes some very slight Asian influences within his starters, and he is also the author of a cookbook of eighty recipes translated as "My Provence". Le Sud is located right on the main coastal freeway between Saint -Tropez and Toulon, and Christophe Petra's food is so delicious it is enough to send you to the moon and back, delighting gourmands everywhere with his epicurean delicacies." |
