This is a fantastic little café in the old quarter, away from traffic noise and protected from the…read moreworst of the Mistral winds. The plaza it sits in also hosts a fountain, large shade trees, and a beautiful old church.
The outdoor seating is idyllic, and the food excellent. It's nice to get a change from french cuisine, and middle-eastern is so appropriate to the climate and setting.
I ordered kebab and it came Lebanese style, with shaved shards of lightly charred meat in a dish, served with a side of rice with fine noodle garnish, pita, and numerous dishes of veggie sides including probably the smoothest, creamiest humus I've ever had. There was also baba ganouj, a ratatouille-like cold stew, some kind of courgette/tahini dish, and tabouli that was delightfully heavy on the fresh tomatoes, garlic and parsley rather than couscous.
But the star of the show is something I didn't recognize, but will actively seek out from now on: a fine-chopped red pepper and walnut paste that was just to die for!
Read the hidden reviews, too--they seem entirely reliable and accurate to me.
