This place is a find and will most certainly be the highlight of any day trip to Bandol, France. For fun I ordered off the 39 euro prix fixe menu and my wife ordered of the 29 euro prix fixe menu, but a la carte is always available. Our meal started with a glass of red wine local to the Bandol area, a true delight to those who are discriminating vinophiles like me. Next they brought out a starter that was a seafood pate. My wife's first courses was scallops cooked to perfection in a leek sauce with puff pastries on the side, and mine was an incredible fresh salad with small tasty Mediterranean fish on the side. Maine courses were fish - my wife's a whole broiled fish and mine a dorade fillet. We finished of the meal with the most memorable creme brulee and molten chocolate cake with pistachio ice cream. We told them we were stuffed, but they insisted on sending us off with a round of limoncello anyway! It was the highlight of our trip

We enjoyed an array of salads ( goat cheese in puff pastry, shrimp, Caesar); fresh Sole; raw Oysters, croque monsieur, noir boudin, burger and fries! Cold Rose wine. Wish we had time to have dessert. Creme brûlée looked delicious. Also to be considered is the lobster over a bed of pasta. Great service! This place was totally worthy of a stop on our way to St. Tropez.

Beautiful view . Terrasse superbe. Cocktail list is large and innovative. Congrats…read more Service doing their best. A twist of youth and fun will secure the coming years.

You can order a la carte or choose from one of the tasting menus. They also offer a menu of the day for 60 euros per person that includes an appetizer, main and dessert. There were three choices of bread and the olive bread was divine. We decided to go with the a la carte menu. We started with the asparagus and chicken egg with lardons. Both were exquisite! The asparagus sang with colors of flavor and had tiny, sweet langostines and black truffles. The egg was poached in a cream sauce and was rich and decadent. We decided to go with the whole roasted fish and I think this was a mistake. This fish was good but it seems their composed dishes were more the stars here. The cheese course was very good with choice of about a dozen meticulously selected cheeses, many from the region. Dessert was nothing special-too modern with too little actual dessert: raspberry sorbet with biscuit crumble. Petit fours were divine: salted caramel macaroons and other little nibbles had us feeling very happy and full! Service was excellent. A very beautiful evening from start to finish.

He was currently in Paris apparently at a competition! You can tell immediately when you walk in how cool this place is. It gave me a 20,000 leagues under the sea kinda vibe, low red under tones but not too dark, you can tell it's a bar/restaurant. Also excellent music, our waiter put on an Amy Winehouse playlist. All of our food exceeded our expectations, and I was especially impressed with the desserts. I hope to return here again the next chance I get to visit France!

But, we were in Provence, we like to eat specialities of the local region wherever we go, and bouilliabasse is a specialty of the region. Our hosts highly recommended La Bouillabaisse. You have to order the bouilliabaisse 24 hours in advance, which we didn't know until we got there. And, the restaurant was fully booked for that evening. We also didn't realize that reservations were a must on a weekend evening even in September. We came back for dinner Monday night. By then, we were getting cold feet and wondering if we'd made a mistake in ordering the meal. But, we went through with it and are both glad we did! The broth, not a tomato base as we'd expected, was deliciously seasoned, the fish, a large selection of shellfish and fish, perfectly cooked. Nothing had a "fishiness" smell or taste as all of the ingredients were as fresh as could be and truly delicious! I wouldn't make a general statement that this restaurant is good for children but the staff was helpful and atttentive including to our toddler, who eats a variety of food and enjoyed the bouillabaisse.
