Chez JuJu revisted

This morning we drove, for an hour and ten minutes, down to the Camargue for lunch at Chez JuJu. Prior to it moving from the beach, a couple of kilometres away, this place has been written up under the heading of one of the best restaurants in the world, however unless you have a fascination with mile after mile of paddy fields, then the journey to it is quite boring. I didn't realise quite how much rice is grown in this area.
We sat outside on a sun dappled terrace next to a duck pond, which in summer may well be home to mosquitoes, but that's another story. It was a beautiful, rustic, tranquil setting. If I have a small complaint it was about the level of the background 'gypsy' music, but this did at least add to the atmosphere.
The menu is small, with a choice of six starters. Bulots are not for me, the seafood and vegetable terrine was 'off' so we settled for grilled gambas and crevettes. The crevettes were good but unspectacular and the gambas (24 euros)excellent. Despite what the menu said, we only had a choice of sea bass or turbot and we were escorted to see them in the cold cabinet. They were very fresh.
The fish was cooked, to perfection, in an outdoor wood burning oven. Very tasty and washed down with a Picpoul or two from Domaines de Montredon 2005. This is simple food, fresh and well cooked. Most of the fish (although only two were available) was charged at 5.80 euros per 100 grams and our single large (600g) fish was charged at 34.80 euros.
We found ourselves comparing the meal to Tahiti Plage that we visited last week. They are about the same travelling time, parking is assured at JuJu but more problematic at Tahiti Plage. Tahiti Plage is a definite seaside experience whereas JuJu is quiet and rustic. There was more choice at Tahiti Plage but the cooking at JuJu was better. JuJu just edges it. When Chez JuJu was right on the beach then it would have won hands down for the combination of food and raw seaside experience. Now that it has come inland the atmosphere has changed, not worse but different. It was a very good experience and I will definitely go back, but then I will go back to Tahiti Plage as well. We must try them both at night. Both recommended.
