Pinocchio - Saint-Trojan-les-Bains

We are here one evening and we were satisfied, We ordered cuttlefish sauteed in butter and parsley. Very, very good indeed. The accompanying vegetables were zuchinni and these were also sauteed to perfection. There is a great childrens menu with milkshakes and ice cream.

We stop at Pinocchio for the mussels and fries. As a drink we start with an Aperol Spritz and that is not a good start. The drink is too hot and there is hardly anything left. The children take a pizza and that is fine: Thin crispy bottom, well laid and good taste. We take the mussels with fries. The Grand-Mère is delicious. The portions are a bit on the small side. We also miss the classic French basket of bread. The organic wine tastes great. All in all fine value for money.

We discovered this little spot about 4 years ago, and its become a firm favourite every time we visit. I've been here with friends and family, and the kids menu is good too. Easy to find along the walkway by the port inlet, whilstits quite small it has tables both inside outdoors. The staff are friendly and polite. Some speak English. Great for people watching or just a drink, but the star of the show is the Moules. They do several dishes ranging from cream, white wine or even curry which is really good. Fresh each day the combination menu provides Moules, with a big bowl of hot frites, fresh bread and your choice of house red, local beer or soft drink all for €12. Bottled still water was free. Great for lunch or dinner, they have fish dishes and good pizzas too. Although it's small, it's popular with locals too. Vegetarian meals available. We sat on the quayside as we had our dog with us, which wasn't a problem, the waitress fetched fresh water in a bowl for her. Car parking is about 100m away and it's free. Local art galleries, gift shop, bars and restaurants are on both sides of the inlet. We make a point of visiting every time we're in the area. Recommend highly.

Very smiling and welcoming staff. The restaurant was full and rolled very well. For the service, 5*. I threw a dish, because disappointed with the pizza dough found too fine and hard, without swollen crust outside. I can't judge the other dishes, otherwise they were very appetizing.

Very good reception, friendly service, fast service, hearty meals served with small potatoes of the island of re it changes, it was a feast it was absolutely good to go, We pay by holiday checks it is good, because it is very rare here!
