Excelsior - Saint-Raphaël

Had the turbot with bouillabaisse jous. Excellent. Wonderful seaside location. We finished our lunch and moved out to the tables next to the sidewalk to enjoy more rose' and people watching. A lovely afternoon.

What a good place to sit and people watch. I only had a coffee and croissant (both very good and inexpensive) but it was a very pleasant interlude.

Dined as a group of six on Sunday evening, we all enjoyed the starters although the melon with Parma ham was far too large a portion. The recommended white wine was not particularly good - too sour. The red was better. The mains were enjoyed by everyone I chose the lamb - very well cooked - simple French cuisine but very good- hubby had a steak and as is usual in France it was rarer than ordered but he enjoyed it. Would certainly revisit but choose our own wine.

It's a great restaurant in the center of Saint Raphaël. Good menu for 29euro proposing fresh seafood. Service was perfect, young and professional girls! Quantity are ok, maybe a bit more. The marmite du pêcheur is amazing.

We came to this lovely little place as our cruise ship docked . The food was beautiful and wine and beer excellent . Will return if ever back that way . Cheers
