The Land of Plenty celebrates the Tastes of Provence

The culture of food, eating and living sustainably is evident from farm to fork. Many local restaurants emphasize food grown nearby in their menus and daily specials. Expect to find local organic blueberries, shellfish, bison and even edible flowers gracing the plates of many contemporary eateries. All complimented with made-in-the-valley beer and wine, of course.

Whether you crave an elegant candle-lit dinner, some authentic fresh sushi, or a casual family meal, the Valley has an eating establishment to suit every taste and budget.

Numerous restaurants offer fresh local seafood and produce, and many specialize in ethnic dishes (Japanese, German, Italian, Thai, Mediterranean), vegan and vegetarian meals and delectable home-baked goodies.
