Cote Terroir, Antibes 11-2018

After arriving late in Antibes on Friday night, a closeby dinner was needed. I didn't have anything marked within 10mins walk of the accommodation, so looked on Google for some cool places. The closest was Le Troquet Des Artistes which looked like a casual eatery but unfortunately they had no space to accommodate. Wandering further we found Cote Terroir and they checked with the chef who said we can eat as long as we order quickly. Luckily as the meal was fantastic and only now do I see this restaurant listed as TA #2 in Antibes.

- Le burger maison a la Mozzarella Bufala (beef, mozzarella bufala, cheddar, salad, tomato, bacon, red onion, burger sauce) with polenta fries €19 - excellent burger with medium-rare patty full of flavour. The polenta fries were phenomenal with a bouncy yet crisp exterior and a buttery flavoursome core;
- Marmite du pecheur (plate of fishes, shellfish sauce, crust bread with provencal herbs, rouille) €24 - a tiny bouillabaisse equivalent with tuna, a prawn, some fillets of slightly stronger whitefish. Really good and warming;
- Legumes de saison (seasonal vegetables) €4 - cheap dish with grilled vegetables lightly salted and cooked with a touch of rosemary. Grilled vegetables have never tasted so good. The light green zucchini were particularly excellent;
- Le Ch'tiramisu (speculoos flavour) - served Heston-style in a flower pot with a soft cream, an alcohol cake base and some crumb dirt. Very nice also.

This was an exceptional meal and a good welcome to Antibes. I would definitely come back. There's also some delicatessen items for sale if you fancy.
