Great. Little, cozy restaurant with a big fruit. Top service.

Family restaurant ran with passion. Honest and warm servants, delicious fresh seafoods, lob, crab, etc. Fresh bread, fresh butter, delicious wines, even the sabayon is legendary in the locals.

The best seafood sauce ever! Seafood dish ate in etreat 6wulks. an empty hand with shrimp powder, two small oysters 1 large, half a crab for 42 euro scandal!

We love a good seafood platter and had discovered Lobster on the Internet. The restaurant is very small, on a street just one down from the promenade; very neat and well presented. The service was gentle, friendly and efficient. They have a very good menu of fish and seafood, but we’d gone for the platter, and we chose for 2 of us: • The Royal: with a lobster, a crab, langoustines, oysters, vongole (clams), mussels, shrimps, periwinkles, whelks, large and small prawns. The lobster, crab and langoustines were cooked to order (steamed)and still warm when served. The platter looked really fabulous, and was a very generous portion. We have to say, this was one of the best platters we’ve ever had! Delicious, fresh seafood and the just cooked lobster, crab and langoustines made such a difference. They’d also cooked some of the shellfish in flavoured stocks, for example, the winkles were cooked in stock with cayenne pepper very tasty. For me the brown crab was a highlight good size, sweet, delicious. But we thoroughly enjoyed everything. We were also served an amuse bouche of a couple of good dishes: a fried oyster in a pea jus, and some herring in a whipped, creamy loveliness. For dessert I chose a chocolate fondant with a really rich cherry ice cream and fresh cherries. We left extremely happy and rather full, after a really fabulous lunch! Thoroughly recommended.

Family owned and run, the staff is absolutely friendly and efficient and super accommodating of my food allergies. All the food is fresh, wonderfully prepared and served, I can't wait to come back.
