Remi de Provence is both a wine shop, a wine bar and a full-service restaurant serving interesting food from the south of France and a great selection of wines.First let's talk about the wine concept here. The front of the establishment operates as a classic bottle shop. However this is no ordinary bottleshop. This place has depth and breadth in its wine selections. France is very well represented as you would expect with the owner's background. However he does not confine his choices to his native country. There are fine choices from Italy, Austria, Germany and even the Czech Republic. Downstairs in the colll cellar there are some of the more expensive wines where there are some real gems to be discovered, including a range of the delicious Raveneau Chablis.All of the prices are very reasonable considering the quality of offerings which makes the next part of the concept even more exciting. You can purchase a wine from the bottleshop and take it to your table for a very, very reasonable markup. At the time of writing, you pay $10 corkage for a bottle under $50, $15 between $50 and $100 and $20 over $100. This is a very generous policy.We also enjoy the food here very much. At the time of writing this review we are about to pay our fifth visit. We have tried many of the dishes on the menu and have found that, with a couple of exceptions, they have been cooked perfectly and were packed with flavour.We particularly like the steaks here. Beef from Tasmania's north west is simplly grillled and presented with sauces on the side. They always cook them blue, as ordered.This is a very good restaurant and a fine addition to the Hobart dining scene.
