'Il Etait Une Fois'



There's a new restaurant on the Promenade de Soleil in Menton. 'Il Etait Une Fois'(Once upon a time) is owned and run by members of the famous Cousteau family and everyone is so nice and friendly. Excellent service, great food by Chef Ron Geul, who is a friend. You can sit inside the restaurant or across the road by the sea.

How about this, for example:

Scallops, black chanterelles, coral foam, creme of celery and shellfish jus.

  1. Mmmm. We'll put it on the list. The food along the sea where we are now is pretty good, too.

  2. Wow! That looks wonderful. I cannot wait to visit Menton again. Is this where Le Grand Bleu was once upon a time? It was under the old Hotel St. Michel. They were turning the hotel into condos last time I was there.

    Considering the dreadful weather that has been affecting your region in the past few days I can't blame you for digging out gorgeous summer pictures. I'm posting rain pictures on my blog!
