Arles & Provence Food Guide | Mediterranean Flavors 🌿🍴

No trip to Provence is complete without authentic Mediterranean cuisine ! This journey’s mission: dive deep into French-Mediterranean dishes, especially bouillabaisse (Marseille fish stew). 🍅 Provençal Cuisine 101 : - Olive oil , fresh veggies, seafood, and herbs (thyme, rosemary, lavender) shine. - Simple yet flavor-packed techniques rule. 🌟 Must-Try Specialties : - Bouillabaisse : Marseille’s iconic fish stew (3+ types of fish, saffron, herbs) served with garlicky rouille sauce and toast. 🐟🍞 - Camargue bull meat & rice (from the Rhône delta). - Alpilles lamb , Vaucluse truffles, and Alpine cheeses . 🍷 Rosé Revelation : Provence’s AOC Côtes de Provence rosé is pale pink/orange , ultra-refreshing (think citrus, berries, peaches). Perfect for summer! 🌞 🤔 Why No Cava Here? Unlike Barcelona’s bubbly cava , Provence’s warm climate favors still wines (especially rosé). Champagne needs cooler terroir! 🧀 Post-Meal Market Haul : Grabbed Comté cheese (nutty, rich—my fave!) and pastries at Arles’ market. 😋 📍 Restaurant Pick : Le Criquet (€40pp)—a local gem! #Provence #Marseille #MediterraneanDiet
