But then, when asked where else would they recommend we go for dinner, they suggested we try L'intemporel. It's not so often that restaurants recommend other restaurants in their area, so we were very grateful. As it turns out, they were totally right to recommend l'Intemporel, a smallish, but oh so nicely decorated restaurant in the town of Bollène. It was not a busy Friday night, so the service was warm ant attentive, but not over the top. We went for the fixed price menu du Barry at 37€, which obviously meant no surprises when paying the bill! My husband started with the local asparagus with cured ham and mozzarella, while I had the scallops on a bed of aubergine cavier. Both starters were beautifully presented on dark plates. For mains, it was fish for both of us: salmon with a spicy mayonnaise, roast potatoes spagetti-like carrots; a huge piece of marinated tuna, sauce vièrge and the same veggies... a feast for the eyes! There were two desserts on the menu, so we took one of each. A Valhrona chocolate tart on a thin, thin Tonka bean biscuit base and a lemon vanilla cream on a shortbread base, surrounded by strawberries and raspberries that are just coming to season here. Yummy! A fixed price menu with high quality, well present products and great service, what more could you ask for?

Almost a great calf, but almost a bit. and daurade (rougets announced on the map but not available) very terracotta and very white for a real daurade? The intention is there, hoping that it is only a beginning of a successful amount!
