La Brouette

This Scandinavian restaurant has become an institution in  St-Paul-de-Vence. For over four decades, La Brouette has been cooking local ingredients, especially seafood and mushrooms, in true Danish style. That means fish comes smoked not grilled, and though wine is served, bien sur, many patrons choose to sip jam jar smoothies containing lavender honey and kefir instead. Also notable:  bargain prices (a rarity in this historic village), a lovely outdoor terrace in summer, and a raging fire in winter. Note: for those with allergies, they serve gluten-free breads.
