THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Le Mas des Oliviers Restaurant Review:

Located on Rue Bishop and surrounded by pubs and comedy clubs, Les Mas des Oliviers will whisk you away to an imagined grotto in some lazy village in the south of France. With low ceilings and wide arches, the space almost seems Spanish or Tuscan. White tablecloths, comfortable furniture and a casual attitude despite the profusion of sharply dressed waiters and an exclusive wine list help to make you feel right at home. The menu, though small, is filled with interesting options. Dishes such as veal cheeks braised in port, filet of beef in peppercorn sauce, and rack of lamb à la Provençale vie for attention. Leek and potato potage is nice, although a little on the plain side. Snails, however, are steaming in parsley butter just begging to be sopped up with a wedge of crusty bread. For dessert, try the chocolate profiterole pastries. Service is attentive and knowledgeable, and ready to explain the menu.
