"The restaurant is located on a working cattle farm where they train bulls for games.. the animals are not harmed like in bull fighting. We were on a tour of the Camargue, a protected region of the Rhone river delta and our guide arranged a lunch at La Manade des Baumelles. It was a set menu which featured their own beef, however, they were happy to make accommodations for vegetarians. An aperitif of very sweet sangria spiced with cinnamon was offered to us..We had platter of fresh veggies, local endive, tomatoes, scallions, cooked egg, radishes and carrots served with anchovy paste and very good bread. There were platters of cured meats and pates. Wine was served with lunch. Main course was beef au jus with the local rice, I had a local monk fish that was delicious and there were vegetarian platters for non meat eaters. Food was very good, service was good too. Finally there was a fresh goat cheese with olive oil, coffee and a tart for dessert. Overall a very pleasant and enjoyable experience. There is also a gift shop on premises where they sell their pates, sausages, fleur de sel, and the local rice."
