Pampered In Provence
Enjoy the beauty of a break in Provence.

by Trevor Mason

Le Moulin de Mougins restaurant, South of France.

Wonderful though this was, I've got to say that no stay in Mougins would be complete without a visit to Le Moulin de Mougins, the acclaimed restaurant run by chef Alain Llorca and rated by at least one guide as one of the greatest in the world.

Located in a 16th century oil mill just outside the village, it
certainly isn't cheap. For this restaurant is a haunt of the stars, the well-heeled and well-connected. Just the week before we visited, with
the Cannes film festival in full swing, Sharon Stone and Halle Berry
were among the celebrities to eat there.

On our visit, Alain welcomed us with champagne cocktails before cooking a specially prepared meal served to us in a roomy, comfortable and elegant dining room by his friendly staff.

A series of subtly crafted, very different, but complimentary dishes -
including foie gras, cuttlefish and truffles - floated by.

Even the arrival of a hand towel was done to dramatic effect. Placed end up on a large plate, it wasn't until the waiter poured hot water over it and the towel expanded that we realised what it was!

The dessert was even more spectacular - a kind of chocolate bombe, which collapsed when hot chocolate sauce was poured over it, revealing raspberry sorbet inside.

Expensive, yes, but for a unique gastronomic experience Le Moulin de
Mougins is well worth pushing the boat out. It's an ideal addition to a
relaxing stay at Le Mas Candille.
