No, it's not Chez Olive. It is indeed Ché complete with red star and
black beret. I have no idea why and I wasn't about to ask. The French
are the French and not to be analyzed too closely when it comes to
politics, especially these days.
Creissan is the next town over from our village of Quarante. We pass through it often and Ché Olive is right there on the main road at the entrance to town. (One of the signs still says Le Zinc. Olive says he prefers Ché Olive though.) Olive opened it a couple of years ago after leaving the Bar 40, Quarante's basic local watering hole that's undergone a bit of a renaissance lately. We hadn't heard much about Ché Olive from our usual sources for dining recommendations. So we just kept passing by. For reasons not central to this review, we decided to stop in for lunch on a mid-week in late December.
The bar is cozy, the restaurant open and bright and modern. Newly renovated and perhaps a bit sterile. We were the first…
