Chez Simon

A while back, Marie told us about a rather nice-sounding restaurant called Chez Simon. Not only do they have good food, but they also offer their customers the option to play Petanque while waiting for their food. Sounded like a cool concept to try out.

Since Olivier was still on the Cote d’Azur, this also gave us the opportunity to meet up with him before he headed off. So we booked the restaurant for Friday evening. We were also treated to the company of Maite, JayJay and Marie.

As custom was, we ordered our dishes, and then made our way to play Petanque. I teamed up with Olivier, who seemed pretty confident about his skills, we played against Maite, Marie and JayJay. Alas, our glorious victory was not to be though, as Olivier messed up our certain-looking victory by pushing our boule away from the Jack. Darn. We were saved from humiliation by the fact that our food was ready.

And how was the food then? It certainly lived up to expectations; I had a very nice and tender lamb shank, if memory serves me. And of course it was very nice to catch up with everybody again. This is one restaurant we will grace with another visit, methinks!
