Le lieu de Palavas où vous pouvez manger des moules frites aux accompagnements variés! Ouvert un dimanche soir de novembre (merci c’est appréciable!), repas bon et service rapide. À refaire!

Very nice service and excellent food! Great variety of moules and beer.

My second top restaurant pick in Palavas. A reservation is a must. Moules have been their signature dish since the early 90s, and the other dishes were just as delicious. The pâté served as an hors d’œuvre was a true delight. Our server was exceptionally kind, efficient and refreshingly original. Loved the Scottish quilt accent he wore that night. I also had the chance to chat with the owner and get a sense of his passionate approach to delivering authentic cuisine. À recommander sans hésitation ! Can’t believe they are only rated 4* (as at the time of writing)

Best restaurant in town. This business does what it has to do: it serves honest and good food and drinks. Moules frites, wine, beer, digestive,… all of a quality I never found somewhere else in Palavas!
