Quiet tracks.
I ordered the lamb shank with vegetables (kinda like ratatouille) at Le Cafe de la Banque after a long stair hike at the Marseille Notre Dame before heading out to Sugiton Les Calanques. This place is quite popular with the locals because they ran out of their today's special. My friends and I ordered vegetables on the side and the server was so confused why no one was ordering fries. We gave in and ordered one for the table. The lamb was quality: juicy tender, and flavourful. It wasn't overly salty and the vegetables went well with it. The fries were belgian frites size and we finished it. The server had the 'I told you they were delish' look when he saw the empty plate. #Delicious #FoodieFinds http://forweownthesky.tumblr.com/post/124112555285/what-i-ate-in-france
