L’Occitan restaurant is a neighborhood restaurant for where to gather with friends. The location is not too far from the beach but I went through a lot of traffic to get there. It took me over 30 minutes. I found them from Facebook, where they advertised a Friday oyster fin de clair promotion so I went on Friday and asked for their specials but the waiter told me the had beef Rossini.

We were lucky to dine on a night when live music was provided by the Kim & Barry Jazz Duo, who perform to raise money for a local charity. Also interesting to note is a pětanque court behind the restaurant where you could play with friends with...
