Mussels Appetizer
La Provence is a French restaurant and just like the restaurants in France, food is created in their kitchen using only fresh ingredients. The décor is authentic and half the fun of eating here is listening to your server describe in great detail the specials or respond to your questions about their standard menu. You will quickly realize that there are several naturally gluten-free options and a few more that can be adapted to your requirements.
I have ordered the Onion Soup made without the bread, the Salad Nicoise and several of their daily specials. I’ve also made a meal of the
Mussels’ Appetizer and the Salad Maison which allows plenty of room for Crème Brûlée or homemade Sorbet afterwards.
Salad Maison
Although the French Fries here are not gluten free, I did discover that the sautéed potatoes that accompany the Salad Nicoise are gluten free. They can be prepared in the same manner as the Truffle Oil French Fries and are absolutely delicious.
La Provence participates in the Albuquerque Journal’s Press Pass program. If you have your Press Pass with you, your meal will be discounted 20%.
