I had Zarzuela fir the first time - paella like. Very good. Service was south of France style - everywhere is slow. We will come back though as the food was great.

We've eaten at most of the establishments in the square, I think the intense competition keeps the prices low - 13.9 euros for three courses is a fantastic deal. My wife had the seafood platter for starters - no oysters available unfortunately but the prawns were great - not a great fan of sea snails though! The menu is in English but also states that the staff only speak French, which is the ideal combination. I had the cuttlefish for main course, it's on all the menus here but I'd never tried it, it was good but not as good as my wife's ox braised in red wine which she raved about. We went into the little bar for a couple of pastis to round off an excellent meal. Great food, great service, great prices, and above all a great atmosphere. Well done Fops!

Luckily Brasserie Fop had a table, so we made the decision to eat there. Initially, the service was slow, as you can expect sometimes, but as we already had an ordeal in Valras, our mood was already slightly spoiled. We finally ordered drinks a carafe of rose and Orangina. Unfortunately, the wine first came out as a single glass, so politely mentioned the mistake. When the carafe finally arrived 15 minutes later, it was in a Jack Daniels bottle that was amusing, but unfortunately was also less than chilled. We were then handed over the chalkboard with the menu that was barely readable and made it difficult to translate. When we finally got the attention of the waiter and managed to get some ice cubes for the wine, we got help to decrypt the menu. Food came and was ok for a set menu, but nothing remarkable. Always difficult if you are in less than tolerant mood, but unfortunately would not go there again due to the service, chalkboard and warm wine. Excuse Brasserie Fop, but not for us.

We drove near Serignan in half past 12 were denied by a restaurant we enjoyed before when they were full. Luckily, Fop's very busy restaurant has made a table chairs for us on their terrace to fit us and leave a spacious space between tables due to Kovid 19. The staff was dragged out of their feet with the crowd that we had today due to the beautiful weather. However, the waitress came with table settings, cutlery glasses for us. After a while we could give our orders from the table with menu choices. The paste, the Spanish dish the hot Camembert stars were great, we have tasted each other dishes. The men had the steak chips while my sister I had the Gambas salad for the main meal, delicious, well presented generous portions. For the desert the house apricot cake with rum made the caramel mousse . Many local red wines in a jug to wash it with we had a wonderful experience. Thank you to the friendly staff who have made my birthday a success after they have been established by two other places. At under 15 euros per person it was great, we will definitely be back!
