The perfect pre-drink drink. Drink on a hot summers day, after cutting the grass.  Mix the French bitters with pilsner or a wheat beer for a perfect apertif. Or nip to Duck Soup in Soho and enjoy with a plate of green beans, anchovy, soft boiled egg and sour dough crumbs.

Mais oui...here we are in Marseilles admiring the vast spread of produce at the market - including donkey salami - this one's not for me - but only because of the vast choice. And of course we tried a whole selection of new aperitifs - merci Monsieur Bonfils - bright yellow Mimosa, sweet Chestnut and fragrant Roses. The latter is a bit Turkish Delight perhaps, but still worth featuring as our Dish of The Day because we know you would like to stock this next to the Pamplemousse and Rhubarbe, in case we come for a drink. There are many things that the French simply do better and one of them is drinking.
