La Reserve Restaurant - Hyères

Shame summer menu changed , removed skate from the menu. The best skate we have had in France ((see previous review) We drive 1 hour especially for this dish

Complimentary aperitif with tapenade and then both my wife and I had the 12.90 euro menu both having one of the nicest and thickest skate wings we have eaten in a delicious caper sauce with chips and salad. Then my wife had Isle Flottant and I a superb home made tarte tartin with cream and ice cream. A 50 cl rose at 6 euros and coffees at 2.00 euros each. The service was very friendly and efficient and the place full although it was market day. Excellent value and quality of food - we will certainly return.

Given that many places are closed at this time of year in S France, we were delighted stumble on this busy beachside restaurant. It is quirky, with a tree growing inside and birds flying around, but the food was tasty, served with a smile and was good value. My skate wing with a wine and caper sauce was utterly delicious, well cooked and the fish was very fresh.The owner apologised for the fact that the toilets were 'unisex' when I asked where they were, which I considered thoughtful. They were clean and fine!Easy parking (out of season) right by the restaurant and the beach is a stone's throw away.

This beachside restaurant provided excellent food, friendly and professional service in a casual and relaxed atmosphere. We went on a recommendation from a French friend and weren't disappointed. My wife and I had the fish for two (Daurade) and our friend the two course menu. Our fish was perfectly prepared and nicely presented. Our friend said the clams were the best he's had and he eats clams with regularity. The dessert was a lemon custard with a name I don't recall, but was exquisite. The meal included an aperitif and wonderful foie gras (perhaps to impress the Chicago visitors).

Great for lunch and right next to Toulon airport on the beach - we called in with time to spare before our flight back to the UK, my wife had a huge bucket of mussels and I had fish - excellent service, great food, good atmosphere. The waiter looks just like Inspector Jaques Clouseau (Pink Panther - Peter Sellars) which made the trip even more enjoyable!
