Feasts: Roger Vergé Le Moulin de Mougins

Going to a great restaurant is a great experience – Bocuse in Lyons, Senderens and Robuchon in Paris, Girardet in Chrissier, Roger Vergé in the south of France. Can the restaurant live up to its lofty reputation? Will the service and the welcome complement the cuisine? Will the food be worthy of the setting? Will we?

And, perhaps for me the most important of all: will I discover a combination of flavours that will remain long in my memory, sing in my senses, ‘explode’ in my mouth so that years from now I will be able to bring the dish back into sharp focus to set against other great dishes I have tasted?
