La Provence Boulangerie & Patisserie

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been to Manaia (they used to be at the courthouse). I decided to rekindle my love for their food but alas, the mac salad isn’t how they used to make it. It lacks potatoes, flavor, and most importantly, love. The salad isn’t the fresh greens they used to pair your protein and rice with and some kind of strawberry sauce. Rice had way too much water during the cooking process (mush just taste like eating juk/zhao/rice gruel). What happened?

Awesome food, great drinks, and cozy atmosphere. I have tried many of the menu options, but keep coming back for the Umu pork. I usually prefer chicken, but this pork is a must try! The house made sauces are a huge bonus. Five stars for food quality, but they can run out of certain menu options since it is made fresh daily. Just show up before the noon lunch rush from the courthouse and county employees!

Walking in, I was met by some glorious odors. So yum! The sauces are awesome. I'll be back many times. ❤️❤️❤️. Drinks are amazing too. Atmosphere is chill but clean and vibrant. Music is perfect. Many choices of seating styles.
