As much as we all love the butter and cream that make French cooking famous, it is nice to know that there is an equally delicious alternative. Le Provencal provides all the extravagance and flavor without the guilt. You will find a lot of herbs and savory vegetables used in most dishes for flavor. It is hard to resist the Bouillabaisse, a seafood soup made with various fish and shellfish, served with toasted rounds of French bread. As with many Coral Gables restaurants, there is an upscale crowd here. The atmosphere is comfortable, though, and made more so by warmly personable service.
