Christmas is approaching – which often for us means meeting up with friends for a last meal of the year type of thing.
Our martathon of meals started with a visit from Mathilde’s uncle, Didier, who had made his way all the way to the Cote d’Azur from the distante Mayenne department, to visit some friends. Naturally we invited him over for dinner. Mathilde prepared a “Petit salé aux lentilles”, one of those hearty, simple, yet so good French dishes. The meal was accompanied by a nice Piedmont red wine – so can’t really go wrong with that then. Good to catch up with Uncle Didi as well – who seems to be enjoying his little stay on the Riviera.
The next evening, we had rendez-vous with our good friend Youcef in Nice. We picked a nice little wine-bar/restaurant near Rue Massena, Le Cave d’Origine, for the occasion. It was a rather good choice – the food was really excellent. I had some pata negra – really succulent stuff. They had some good wines too – but unfortunately getting served proved a bit of a challenge since the wine service is handled by one guy, and the place was very busy indeed. But anyways, it was a very good restaurant indeed, and a nice night out!
On Thursday, it was time to have Hyem over for lunch. I haven’t seen her since her brilliant birthday party a couple of months ago (I can still remember her belly-dancing show!), so it was good to see her again.
