    Meal: onion soup, catch of the day, crème brûlée. Vodka up with olives / wine The onion soup was glorious. The flavor was . The seabreame and veggies was so yummy. The fish was thick and meaty. The flavors were light and the veggies were cooked just enough with a perfect crunch. Paired with the beaujolais villages The crème brûlée: perfection. The bartender(s) were amazing and knowledgeable, very kind and attended to us. The live music was perfect background noise to drown out the loud tourists. Although it’s a touristy destination, the food was masterful and did not disappoint. Probably our favorite meal of the trip.
