Le Provencal.

I love French food and I love wandering down the road to Le Provencal for dinner:

It is a quirkily decorated family run restaurant - Jean Claude does the cooking and Julie runs the front of house. They live upstairs with their family. You need to remember to book well in advance.

The trompe l'oeil is really convincing:

And the food is delicious and unpretentious. Last night I started with the mussels:

 Followed by the duck with apple, prune and Armagnac sauce:

I can never manage to leave room for dessert - which is a shame because I also asore creme caramel. Maybe next time.
