La Route du Miam

More of an experience than a meal
Word to the wise: If you turn up at this restaurant in the northerly Liberation area of the city without a reservation, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

Popular plate: La Route du Miam's smooth and flavourful foie gras is to die for. Try it accompanied by the succulent full duck breast.
Tucked away in a location so unassuming even the taxi driver probably won't know it, La Route du Miam is south-western French family dining at its hearty best.

Like visiting a friend's house for dinner, owners Marie and Jean-Michel welcome guests like long lost family and fatten them up like the pervasive duck they serve. The intimate Provençale dining space can only accommodate 20 covers lending the restaurant a homely and sociable atmosphere, which is greatly encouraged by the copious amounts of regional wine consumed. Miss this place at your peril.
