Chez Michel's

Description:

• This bustling and animated brasserie is owned and managed by the husband-and-wife team Michel and Michelle. The setting is a cozily unpretentious dining room lined with Provençal landscapes. Well-prepared dishes of fresh ingredients include a filet of beef Rossini (layered with foie gras), wok-fried calamari, grilled sea bass with a tapenade of olives, rack of lamb with Provençal herbs, roasted veal with mustard sauce, and a roster of fresh chargrilled fish of the day that is usually served either with a basil-flavored vinaigrette or with lemon-flavored butter sauce. Salads, including versions with shrimp, are excellent.
