THE MILANO FREJUS

Last week we went to the Milano restaurant, on the seafront at Frejus. This was with the Gourmet luncheon club that we are members of.

Normally we are given a fixed menu with just a few choices for each course. This time we were offered the whole menu to select from.

This was really good as this restaurant is well known in the area and specialises in sea food.

I started with my favourite Moules Farcis, which was great except that at this time of year the mussels are a tad small as the Spanish ones seem to be out of season

Being a Gourmet lunch I decided to go exotic, for the main course, and had a platter consisting of half a lobster, half a crab, a bowl of unpicked shrimps, about a dozen unpeeled prawns and a load of crayfish.

This all came on a bed of ice and was complete with a nice garlic flavoured mayonaisse dip.

Need I mention that I could not eat it all, however I finally solicited some help from friends on the table.

I did, however, manage a sugared pancake to complete the meal!!!!

Back to the diet!!!

A lovely restaurant with great service and a great ambiance.
