  1. hello everyone, I do not know if you have meant that mediterranean food is not french or that this restaurant is not french. I am french from Nice (South East on the mediterranean sea). France might be very small compared to india that's is for sure but the food is still extremely diverse. Unfortunately, regional food and family food is desappearing little by little in front of a standarized food. I live in Paris now and I am amazed how foos is standarized from restaurant to restaurant! Just to say that Nice for instance has its own food that we called Cuisine Niçoise where you can find Estoficada, fried vegetables, Pistou (and yes pistou is from Nice and not from Genova in italy), pan bagnat, socca (corn pancake), Merda di Can (literaly 'dog shit' in local language. It is meat in a red wine sauce though nothing to do with the canine race ), etc... Also another town in the north of Provence called Romans, the city where I was born, has a unique dish called ravioles which are small vegy ravioli, without talking about the cheese, dessert and wine that are more mediteranean that the ones from Alsace or other regions. Bye Yvan
