My favorite pub right now. Great it summer, haven't been there now that it's gotten "cold". The…read moreonly place I know of that has craft beers. Here you will not find the mega brewery BS, or the megabrewery disguised as a craft brewery, no 16, Kronenbourg, Heine@#$en (won't pronounce it) or any crap like that. Really good brews, cools ambiance, polite bartenders, great terrace, no more expensive than anywhere else, often live music, big mixed plates of cheese/vegetables/cold cuts.

For €5 here, you get a cocktail that'll completely rock your world! And by rock your world, I mean,…read moreyou'll be dancing on table tops soon enough from how much alcohol they tip in! Not bad if you're after a bit of Dutch courage!!!! My partner in crime who ordered a Cuba Libre (made up of dark rum representing Cuba, coke cola representing freedom / America and a cheeky wedge of lime) lamented that not much libre was happening in his particular Cuba. And all of this was said with a grimace turned grin that grew wider and wider as more of his drink was consumed! On many an afternoon once we found this little hot spot, a drink or two would help us kick the night off right! There's table service too, so just plonk yourselves down somewhere that tickles your fancy and flag down wait staff when you see them rushing past. I think depending on what time of day you pop in, they offer dishes of black olives as a free appetizer too. So basically €5 for a cocktail, a free appetizer combined with a perfect view for people watching, it really is not a bad deal at all!

This place is sooo soo good. It is located right by the port so you get amazing views. Plus, it…read moreisn't too crowded because it is located on the second floor of this hotel. This place isn't one of those touristy places where they serve you bad food. They take their food quality really seriously here. You can tell based off of what you get. The wait staff is pretty nice although service is really slow. I suppose it is not the American way where they push you out. Instead, they take your time so you can enjoy your food. For parents of little ones though, I would have appreciated some more expediency. The food was sooooo good. They serve typical Provincal food. We got their seafood platter. The freshly made garlic mayo complimented the food perfectly. I also got the shrimp and rice. This was yummy but not as good as the seafood platter. The next day we got grilled octopus with rice. The octopus was perfectly grilled. For high quality food, the price point isn't too bad. I think it is on the more affordable end.

This bar/restaurant overlooks the old wharf. Service is slow but all service in France is…read moreapparently slow compared to the U.S. If you're lucky you could get a seat outdoors on their tiny balcony. There was also a live pianist playing American standards. We got some fantastic cocktails, the "clover club" and "from Trinidad." We also sat at the bar and ordered apps. I speak a little bit of French and the servers were patient with us which I appreciate.

Fun spot for the expat 20-somethings with decent drinks (as any Irish themed bar has) and even a…read moresnack or two - but no full menu to tuck into bangers or colcannon - so best just to keep in mind a nice place to hear English spoken and to watch the Irish and the Brits bet each other as to who can chug the most beer faster while temporary French girlfriends, classmates via a study-abroad program no doubt, watch on in good cheer. This bar is set right next to the port - so good views and great people watching but for dining there are dozens of other places of varying degrees of expense to get a good meal (and still keep drinking).

The only problem is that it is so popular that it is often difficult to find a place to stand, let alone sit. The service is great and the proprietor very accommodating. If you are lucky you may catch some of the live music offered on certain evenings. On top of that, there is a big terrace outside perfect for day or night.
