Who doesn't love the
French? Well, that can of worms aside, who doesn't love comfortable
restaurants with good service and good food? I think we just brought
a lot more people back into the mix with that one. So, what would
you do if such a place existed and was French all at the same time?
What if instead of the waiters treating you like a foreigner in your
own country and spitting in your food for mispronouncing frois gras,
they actually used their Inspector Clouseau accents and prissy mannerisms
for good? With pleasant waiters and a healthy dose of French countryside
manners, Provence breaks the stereotype, serving things people actually
want to eat (lots of fish, steak au poivre, hearty soups, etc.) and
makes you almost forget about the way those losers rolled over for
Hitler and the boys. Try to sit in the lovely (yes, lovely) back room,
complete with fountain and indigenous Soho plants. [MF] |
