Le Jardin de Bambou
A bit bored with the bad weather my wife and I and of course my other girl Micha (our Belgian Shepherd) went off to Cannes for a couple of nights to see how the townies were coping with our strange winter climate.
The Croisette was full of couples strolling in the winter sun and the ladies had their fur coats on show. As we dodged the joggers and roller bladers our dog had the time of her life on the beaches and there was a beautiful sand sculpture of a crocodile which was attracting much attention.
This indeed is a lovely time to visit Cannes as the traffic is minimal and the restaurants are not busy.
When you are continually eating out at French restaurants you yearn for reminders of home and my choice was a Chinese.
In the VAR the majority of such restaurants are actually Vietnamese, which are similar but with subtle variations, especially in the sauces.
I discovered a lovely restaurant just off the Croisette and feasted on Chinese spare ribs, Sui Mai ( prawn or pork steamed dumplings) and King prawns in a sweet and sour sauce with boiled rice. My wife, Mrs. L, started with giant prawns deep fried in a very light batter ( Beignette de Gamba) followed by Duck Lacque which, in her opinion, was one of the best she had eaten in the region.
The atmosphere was great and the food delicious if not quite equal to the restaurants in Liverpool China Town!
I would recommend this restaurant to anybody.
