Restaurantführer

Dear Friends, About 10 years ago we set our self with an impossible task. To found a place who will remind us of our beloved Provence while keeping the unique Northern Californian spirit. Of course the obvious answer was Aptos, and from then on our life was simple. My wife gave it her all and right away we enjoyed our busy restaurant adventure. So many of you became friends, we can only be grateful for our 10 years journey. Like any good story, it is hard to put an end to it, but it was time for us to follow a trail toward Monterey where we are going to open a new Au Midi restaurant early next year. It is not too far and we hope many of you will visit us over there. Meanwhile we are closing Au Midi in Aptos at the end of next month; our last day will be Saturday the 28th of October. Needless to say that the following weeks are going to be filled with special dinners and parties where, I am sure, we will found a proper way to thank you for your continual support. Already we put back the sweetbread. We will be posting dates and menus for our special events, but be sure that while our spirits are high, our hearts are heavy…. Sincerely, M & M

Summer delight at Au Midi : cold water' tomatoes soup with mustard ice cream, Mediterranean daurade tajine & variation of tarragon, chervil, rhubarb & strawberries tarts......(did you day Summer?)

Dear Friends, In Aptos summer in a special time; and while we listen with genuine concern to the news of various heat wave all around us,we know that our gentle morning fog and our cool evening breeze are a subtle blessing.

We deserve it… Many Thanks, M & M http://www.aumidi.com/summer-delight/
