Provence of Carrboro

Description

Good food and simple pleasures can be found here in the "Paris of the Piedmont." Provence has seen only few changes over the last 15 years. And since the the restaurant came under the ownership of Executive Chef Baptist Knaven five years ago, you'll still find all of your classic favorites such as the beautiful Catch Meunière and Whole Fish baked in Rock Salt, as well as the Onion Soup and Lobster Bisque on the menu. Chef Baptist came to the United States about 15 years ago and quickly earned his accolades at his successful Mediterranean restaurant "Café Zito” on the North Carolina coast until he made the decision to move to the Triangle and begin working at Provence. Working with Felix Roux, a Provence native, gave him the edge in classic French cuisine and that is what his menu is based on. Enjoy a casual dining atmosphere with an impressive French and international wine selection. Enjoy our great seasonal salads and entrées, and choose from our all in-house made desserts like Pain Perdu and Chocolate Fondant. In addition to indoor seating, Provence has a pleasant patio for an even more relaxed dining experience. We make daily changes to the menu with seasonally available seafood and other specials. Come try our salt encrusted whole fish! If you want to ensure that we have one available for you, please call ahead. Also, we are happy to take requests!
