Restaurant La Galere, Agay
By Wendy VanHatten
Agay may not be on your radar when visiting the south of France. You may not have even heard of it. But, you should take time to look it up.
Then, take time to stop here at Restaurant La Galere for lunch, dinner, drinks, dessert, or all of the above. You’ll thank me.
When traveling and we see locals eating at a café, wine bar, bistro, or restaurant…we figure it has to be worth stopping. This one was recommended, so we thought we’d try it. Locals mixed with regular holiday-goers to the South of France. French was definitely the language of choice. And, that’s okay. The menu on the board out front was in French. These are the places we like.
I’m not going to France to find American food and an American only menu!
Our waitress helped my weak French skills as we looked over the choices. Rick’s fish was crispy on the outside and flaked delicately off the bones. My crispy duck breast, cooked medium, was delightful on its own. When I dipped it in a tangy, almost bitter orange sauce, it melted in my mouth.
French Rose was the perfect choice for both dishes. I mean, we are in the south of France. And, it’s warm out.
Dessert of rich, vanilla crème brulee and espresso made me extra glad we opted to stop and eat here.
