Cote Mer - Trouville-sur-Mer

A colleague has suggested that a popular Trouville Restaurant is undeserved of its acclaim because it lacks sophistication. What would be said of eating off (or at least ‘on’ the pavement, a chance of getting wet if it rains, no cushioned seating, no bread with...the meal, no desert. The name of the restaurant? Well it is not one – but ten, each unit, joined to its neighbour in the modern high street Marché aux Poissons (sounds better than fish market . Each has the freshest and finest produce from local waters and beyond. You will find the three sizes of Oysters, Lobster, Shrimp, Prawns, Langoustine, Mussels, Scallops, Crab, Clams, and Whelks. There are also giant varieties of species from warmer seas which might taste good but could easily be extras on a Star Trek planet. . No café to finish off but wine by the glass, Chablis and a medley of other whites. The middle unit has an enormous offering of freshly prepared paella if you want something hot and if like me you sometimes prefer smoked salmon, it will be there on most stalls, not necessarily on display. By the way Sunday is market day covering the whole of the high street, and eating starts off very early Of course you can also buy produce to take home. Leave a small tip for the lass who skins and prepares you choice and you may find the male servers will all loudly serenade you, announcing your generosity to all. Imagine that happening in Tesco’s at home.

You just go around and choose what you want to eat. they prepare it for them and put it on their table. all very fresh. if you want, you can add a weingut, but that's it. no brot, pommes, because these places are not restaurants. they are places where you can taste.

Simple place to eat good fresh oysters and enjoy a glass of average white wine. Nothing wrong to say

Whether for a tasting or to buy, the products are fresh, the welcome is friendly and very good advice. tasting on site is a treat and the products are excellent. We were never disappointed in 10 years.

Warm welcome, very good advice on products that are also very fresh. A delight, very correct price in comparison with other sellers. We've been there almost every day!
