We decided to meet up on Saturday for a meal. We opted for a restaurant in Villeneuve-Loubet this time, called Le Chat Plume, which we’d heard and read good things about. The place is located in an old butcher’s workshop, and the name is evoked in the very cat-inspired decoration. This cozy little place is indeed very intimate – in fact they kind of struggled to fit all of us around their biggest table. Once the seating arrangements were sorted out, we could get down to business and order. I must say I really enjoyed this little restaurant and its tasty-yet-reasonably-priced cuisine. Things kicked off with what were possibly the tastiest raviolis I’ve ever had (being stuffed with foie gras certainly helped here…). The main course was equally refined; duck with a mushroom and black truffle sauce. Yummie. And things culminated in a delicious selection of deserts… I think this is one place we may visit again!
The next day, I headed into Nice to meet the clan again. After a slightly dodgy and rainy Saturday night, the weather was thankfully back to its sunny normal again. After enjoying the sun on the beach, we walked for a bit on the Promenade des Anglais and Place Massena with its street artists out showing their stuff. We finished the day at a restaurant in Rue Massena, where my fellow clan members had a Turtiainenish late lunch (it was getting close to 4 o’clock in the afternoon - I had already eaten in my un-Turtiainenish manner and therefore contended myself with a milk shake) during which the girls briefed me on their fledgling studies and gave me a summary of their trip so far - the highlight had been Cap 3000, obviously ;-)
