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.

We were celebrating my best friend's birthday and they brought her a delicious molten chocolate cake with a sparkler on their own initiative. A great experience overall!
