Frommer's Highly Recommended

Nassau's best dishes that feature the sunny cuisine of southern France are showcased within this restaurant that's outfitted in cheerful tones of yellow. Lying near West Bay Street's western terminus, it's extremely popular with well-heeled locals (some of whom aren't particularly enchanted with the island's blockbuster casino hotels and their eateries). Decor includes big-windowed sea views and oil paintings of landscapes that conjure up the Mediterranean coast. Provence prepares its cuisine du soleil with superb simplicity -- Atlantic salmon with citrus butter, for example -- so as not to mar the natural flavor. Other dishes are heavily spiced, such as the rib-eye steak in a fire-breathing pepper sauce. The chefs also turn out a delightful bouillabaisse evocative of the type served in Marseille. Daily seafood specials are featured -- our favorite being the pan-seared sea bass, or else you might order the black grouper filet. Everybody seems to like the lobster cocktails and the rack of lamb.
