Reine Jeanne Saint Remy
Possibly the main reason for returning to Saint-Remy-de-Provence for the 3rd time must be the Restaurant Auberge de la Raine Jeanne. The menu has not changed as far as we know over the six years (we have travelled to Europe every 2 years).
On the first night we had a selection of Panache de Poissons (Marinated Fish including Salmon, squid & small sardines), Salade de Gourmande (Gizzards & Foi Gras) and a plate of Marinade de Sardines. Main Courses we enjoyed were Brochette de St Jacques (Scallops with a spicy Provencal Sauce), Turbot au Thym and Supions Provencal.
The next night Jacqui & Jim shared one of the excellent Specialities of the house - a Bouillabaisse (This Fish soup is obviously best known for it’s origin in Marsaille) - this was pre-ordered as required by the kitchen the day before. Unfortunately Hans was struck down with a very bad cold and only watched the two obviously enjoying the feast - first the fish soup stock and than the various seafoods used to create the magnificent meal. Once again - like the night before - they washed it down with a bottle of Cassa Dom Paternel blanc.
