As I said, the meal I wrote about was probably the best meal we have had at Les Abeilles. Interesting, that meal was in October too but at lunch. Unfortunately, we have heard the same comments from the chef's wife and it does affect your dining experience there and it doesn't do anything positive for the restaurant. Were you staying in the village?Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084254959003451085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821474047907384633.post-2629069881989366592012-02-13T11:36:45.640-08:002012-02-13T11:36:45.640-08:00ok, at the risk of being contrary, we ate at Les A...ok, at the risk of being contrary, we ate at Les Abeilles on a chilly evening last October. We walked over earlier in the day to make the reservation, and the chef was quite friendly. There were 2 German tables - 2 men dining together and a large family group who obviously were enjoying themselves, and a French couple, who left very quickly. The hostess, the wife of the chef, was friendly, but mentioned how unhappy she was in France, and how much she wished to return to Germany, or even move to Spain, where apparently she and her husband had spent time. She went on about how she hoped her husband would decide to move on. I thought it was an odd welcome to a very pretty restaurant. The Germans got a lot of attention - us, not so much. The food was ok, but not "elegant" - sort of piled onto the plate - you obviously had a much better meal. The wine was chosen with a lot of care,which we appreciated. The chef circled round to a few tables, but he ignored ours. It was an odd experience - the setting was lovely, the food tasted fine, in a "hearty but plain" way, but we very much had the impression that the chef's wife was counting down the days in Sablet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821474047907384633.post-27997372840456868212012-02-11T08:46:26.755-08:002012-02-11T08:46:26.755-08:00Barbara - This was a very good meal, probably the ...Barbara - This was a very good meal, probably the best we have had there.<br /><br />Meredith - Shirley loved her pasta so that would be a good choice.<br /><br />Sara - Given all the snow and cold you have experienced this year in Provence, I can't imagine how much you are looking forward to nice weather again.<br /><br />Tuula - I spent three days in Southern CA this week for work and the weather was fabulous. <br /><br />Ashley - We love having friends come to visit us too as we are so happy and proud to show them around our corner of Provence.
