We’re all guilty of it – you go to a restaurant; fall in love with a particular dish, and every time you go back, chances are that is what you order. You don’t meander through the rest of the menu. In fact, your visits to that restaurant are often dictated by your cravings for the flavour of your favourite dish.
Each week for 10 weeks, Provence Marinaside will turn the spotlight on one of the restaurant’s favoured dishes.
For $40, diners will receive two courses plus wine – the featured main course and Provence’s classic Clafoutis for dessert.
Accompanying the main course (and included in the price) will be a glass of wine especially selected by sommelier Rachelle Goudreau to complement the dish.
