Description:
This "restaurant Provençal" channels the spirit of a modest village cafe in France, in both its sunny decor and its friendly atmosphere. Better yet, the food is modestly priced and tasty. A main course at lunch, a duo de poissons a l'huile de basilica, turns out to be a full plate of flakey white sea bass with pesto, salmon, scalloped potatoes, carrot mousse, and cauliflower -- all fresh and well seasoned. With gazpacho to start, a slice of sublime lemon pie to close, and a price of less than C$15 (£7.50), a meal here can be the best bargain in the area. "Le Mistral" attracts locals of a certain age and, it appears, nearly no tourists.
