😠 Good prices and the food is just ok (nothing special). We ordered mussels and many of them were just empty or with closed shells (thus not edible). The mussels were cooked way before being served, and minutes before serving they just throw the sauce your ordered on top of them, so it lacks flavor.... People often mention good, mussels,

    Good prices and the food is just ok (nothing special). We ordered mussels and many of them were just empty or with closed shells (thus not edible). The mussels were cooked way before being served, and minutes before serving they just throw the sauce your ordered on top of them, so it lacks flavor. Even though the prices are ok, I will never go back there because I literally paid to be ashamed by the waitress/owner. When ordering another bowl of mussels “à volonté” (all you can eat), the waitress started bodyshaming me and mumbling in an arrogant tone in French “I wonder where you’ll put all these food”, doubting I was going to eat what I asked for. I don’t recommend the place to anyone.

    Food is good, generally, with big portions. Large range of mussel dishes to choose from. Good prices. popular with locals, so a bit noisy at times (also traffice is next to your table). Friendly owner, nice staff but no English

    Food was very good, the moules are delicious, we tried the mariné and chorizo moules. Also pizza was very good( marguerita) The view is awesome and you can enjoy the harbor. The lady waitress was so welcoming and professional While the male tall guy was very rude,unpleasant,our only fault was asking to change our seats.

    This restaurant was such a good surprise - the staff is super helpful, the food is tasty (we ordered hamburgers, pizza, salmon, mules, steak). Don’t think too much just come to this place. 10/10

    The wine was very bad and the cesar salad was same as in McDonalds. If you cannot avoid having a seat at this restaurant, get yourself a pizza - this is the only food they manage to prepare decently.

    Can’t see why this place is rated 3.8 when it should be 4.8. Mussles is what they’ve specialised on, and mussles is what you get. Lots of them! - very friendly owner - 8 variations of mussles come in an all you can eat option. All of them delicious - very reasonably priced - authentic French atmosphere Will come again, highly recommended

    The restaurant is facing the barbour. Good in general. The soupe poisson is too much, mayby for 3-4 person 😹

    The food wasn't good, the service was bad. They dont have a menu in English. And they dont seem like they want to have you a good time there 😒 Not recommended at all 👎🏼

    Had a great mussels and frites lunch. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect. I speak very little French but the staff was friendly and spoke English well enough to take good care of us. Wine and mussels right on the French Riviera, I couldn't ask for a better place to be.

    Very friendly owners, tasty food. Thanks. (06/09/2022 - I have to change my review and deduct one star. We were a second time eating here, the owners were not in a good mood. Don’t know why.)

    Unlimited moules et frittes very popular with the locals and tourists. Food is great and service excellent, well worth a visit

  • 5/5 Farouk El k. 4 years ago on Google
    All you can eat Mussels with different choices and you sit just next to the port. For me, the best 2 choices are “Moules persillades” and “Moules poulettes”.

    Little gems, pass through seen decor very old, not look like proper restaurant. But foods was amazing. We try their mix grill fish, all perfectly cooked. And the Eat as much of the Mussels, was lovely, eat as much as you can.
