"We booked 24 hours in advance as we wanted to try the famous local spicy fish soup dish - bouillabaisse. Started with crouton with fresh olive which was very good and some oysters.
There were 4 types of fishes and it was great to mix them with the soup and crouton - it was very good and such a unique experience. Service was friendly and highly recommended!"

"Small restaurant in small town. Massively delicious Bouillabaisse. The waitress was very kind in offering to explain the best way to eat it and it was appreciated. We have had Bouillabaisse before but they were definitely not the same dish tasted here. This soup was rich in flavour and tasted like the entire ocean was stewed for years and condensed into a generous pot for 2. It tasted very fresh and homemade from scratch. Our waitress commented that food in this region is the best and I would agree with her if this dish was any indication!"

La Table du Meunier - Restaurant - Fontvieille
Original Restaurant Efficient, classic fare in a pretty old setting on the village's main street, with adapted, progressive formulas and an all-inclusive menu at €31. A good initiative that works for everyone, with jars for one or two people offering all the traditional regional dishes: gardianne de taureau, tian d'agneau, pieds et paquets and even yassa de chevreau for a bit of exoticism.
