An ordinary lunch made excellent. Sitting by the seaside with a view of the ocean made this ordinary lunch taste like a real feast. Like Le Corsaire, they have a heated terrace where you can hear the sound of the ocean and look out on the sea. I also had a very nice view of the Aval cliff.

The service was hit or miss, they seemed to get confused about what table to bring what to and I had to ask four times for water. Other people seemed to be having the same problems at the tables around me.

Favorite Dish: I had the fish soup. It was served with croutons, cheese and a sauce called rouille (rust, because of the color) this is the traditional way to eat fish soup and it was very nice. 9 euros.

Then I had a steak frites for 14 euros. The meat was a little tough, but it was cooked exactly as I ordered. Most of the other diners were having mussels and seemed to be enjoying them. I also saw a table next to me who ordered pizzas for 12 euros and they looked ok too. The place is kid friendly (there were lots of them) and I would recommend it for a lunch by the sea.
