While waiting on the Tour de France to ride through the small town of Sete, we had lunch outside at a typical french restaurant featuring the local fresh seafood.
I ordered the calamari with a garlic cream sauce. This was maybe the best dish I've had on the trip. The pieces of calamari, about the size of medium scallops, were so delicately cooked and were tender and delicious. The sauce, although it was creamy, was light. The garlic was not too strong and the parsley provided a nice fresh touch. The sauce, which had large pieces of garlic, was over the calamari and the rice. My friend ordered the baked mussels, which were pretty good, but didn't match this calamari dish. To me, this is as good as it gets for cuisine in Southern France.
