   Piperade has great seafood - I've tried several of the fish entrees and have never been disappointed. It is always cooked well and flavored just right for a savory taste. Save the best for last - mousse with roasted almonds! The crisp, toasted almonds are the perfect complement to a mousse that is just right - not too sweet and not too bland. What a great dessert! But really, everything else is worth trying too!
