Isn't it a requirement to have crepes while in France?? This creperie not only has crepes, but…read moresalads, sandwiches, and burgers as well. Oh, and they have good coffee too! They are located right on the main drag in Old Town Istres about two blocks up from the tourism office. Their crepes are filling and mine came with a side salad for just under 9 euro. I definitely recommend stopping by this restaurant for a crepe and a coffee.

We just had the best meal since coming to France at Le Jardin d'Amalula (The Garden of Amalula)…read more When we asked the owner what Amalula means, she said it is a contraction of the first names of her daughters: Amandine, Lucile, and Laurine. Laurine is the chef. The outside of the restaurant is inconspicuous; in fact, we walked right past it. But you walk down a corridor, through a small courtyard, and then into the small restaurant. But it's the garden out back that is beautiful. That's where we sat. My wife had Le Provençale, a tartine (toast) with bush cheese, red fruits jam, dried figs, dried tomatoes, and parma ham (like prosciutto). Delicious! I chose the plat du jour based on the owner's recommendation. Not sure what it's called but it was a tartine with tuna tartare & passion fruit, chutney with mango, pineapple, & red pepper, slices of avocado, and orange zest with pink berries. I don't know how they do it. Amazing flavor combinations. Glad we found this place with plenty of time to go back another time or two. Highly recommend!

Great place for English only tourists. The service is fantastic. We were able to communicate…read morewithout difficulty in English. They had a menu translated in english as well to remove any question on what you are ordering. We sat outside and on the Terrance and really enjoyed both. The food was delicious and beautifully presented.

Looking for a fresh wrap, salad, or sandwich? What about a smoothie or milkshake? Look no further…read more I am so sad that this place exists in La Grande-Motte instead of Lyon. If it were in my city I would be there all the time. My husband, mom, and I came here 3 times in 24 hours. I had the vegetarian wrap, the niçoise wrap, an iced coffee, and an Oreo milkshake. The wraps are awesome - really fresh and wrapped up in a big flour tortilla. You can even build your own wrap or salad. The iced coffee was good too but it was blended - not just coffee on ice. They use Big Train brand blended cold drinks, which I'm familiar with from coffee houses in Texas. The milkshake was a little on the thin side as compared to what you might get at a restaurant in Texas but it's the best shake I've had in France. Very tasty! The staff here is super friendly too. They speak English and they're so nice. My mom left her purse at our table the first time we ate there and one of the guys followed us to give it back to her. They even have a real changing pad in case you need to change your baby (like we did). When I expressed my delight, the owner said, "we have a baby too". If you're in La Grande-Motte and you're looking for a place to chill out and grab a fresh bite, definitely stop by Smuty. Oh, and they have a trailer at the Sunday morning market too!

My boyfriend and I ate here for dinner during our trip to France, and it was honestly my favorite…read moremeal of the trip. In France, I always hope for fresh, simple, but excellent food - bread, wine, and cheese - and this was everything I was looking for! We had the melon and prosciutto plate and the cheese plate, with bread of course, as well as a couple glasses of wine. The owner recommended a great white wine as well as a rosé (it was a hot evening, so the chilled whites and rosés hit the spot). They were delicious. As an added bonus, the location is fantastic! It's right next to the Roman arena - very cool view while eating. As a final pleasant surprise, the bill was far less than we were expecting for the quality of the wine. This place has great quality for a great value, the owner was friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect. Highly recommend!
