We had dinner at Le Patio during a short visit to the region and were totally delighted with our choice.The setting is fabulous the moment you leave the street into this ageless farm interior court where dining takes place.The owners are your hosts and we came without a reservation but were quite lucky to get a table promptly.The staff were very helpful and courteous and we made our menu selection with the guidance of the chef’s wife and co-owner.As an appetizer, we chose a swordfish carpaccio served with a touch of local olive oil that was delicious.We went on with a selection of daurade royale which was served truly to perfection with a crispy skin on a vegetable bed.Our wine selection went for a Beaumes de Venise because we have a preference for red but the wine list will cater to the most demanding guests.Desert was unbelievable and took the form of a fruit smoothie which was refreshing and tasty.An altogether memorable experience in a wonderful setting with great service..What else are you looking for ?
Third visit in five years, actually. We returned to Mausane les Appilles after five years and Le Patio was better than ever. Most of us ordered from the 45 euro price fixe menu. Most of us are real foodies and we thought it was transformative, especially the swordfish seviche appetizer (see pix). HIGHLY recommend, but try to 1) eat on the patio and 2) finish before dark because mosquitoes emerge as if on cue just as dark sets in.
The good: The food was excellent, especially the asparagus soup and risotto with shrimp. Cute courtyard seating as well. Unfortunately, the service,while friendly, was rushed. Unusual for a Provence restaurant.We had barely finished one course when another arrived.
This was our third visit to Fontvieille, primarily to enjoy the extraordinary hospitality and creative cuisine afforded by Jean-Pierre, Catherine and their
Wonderful lunch on the terrasseGracious, warm hosts who put up with our minimal FrenchLovely atmosphere and great food.
