Le Tinajo - Sainte-Marie-du-Mont

Good customer service. Reasonably priced meals although I felt the menu was a little limited. . Well looked after and the food tastes good.

Invited to dinner at this quite good campsite--we had a quick look around the site before going in to the restaurant and bar--well set-out, tidy, clean, quality camping accommodation, whether tent pitches or chalets/mobile home type. I was pleasantly surprised with the restaurant which is light and airy enough, pleasantly decorated and clean. Aperitif; 3 of us had kir, on had sparkling wine, one beer and one fruit juice. All good there. Service good and friendly, jovial. As we all wanted moules-frites, we did not bother with a starter. Only concern was that we had to wait a long time and the restaurant was not that busy--however, the local mussel-seller is just up the road and I suspected that the moules were bought fresh form there to order! It was worth waiting for; the mussels were plump, juicy and delicious in Camembert or cream sauce. The frites were good, properly cooked, not overdone and not from frozen. The portions of mussels were more than adequate, we could have done with more frites, but in the end it was good. The pizzas and meals on neighbouring tables looked appetising and we look forward to going back to try other dishes, given the quality of the mussels and frites we had. Service; young, seasonal staff, so service was according to training and experience, but good, very friendly, courteous and nothing was too much trouble. Prices; very reasonable for what we had. I cannot say for the other meals, however. I would recommend this for families, couples, groups--anyone, in fact. It is not gastronomic, but very good for a well-priced and comfortable meal out.
