L'escale is one of the finest restaurant in Palavas…read more At around $35 a meal, you will not find better value for money if you are after French gastronomy. I strongly recommend any seafood based dish, including the "seafood tapas" a fine assortment of shell fish, fishes in various declination. Each tapas will burst in your mouth like no other. Local fish are subtly seasoned and prepared. Fish in sour cream? fish sauce? Talk to the waiter and let him know about your tastes, he'll definitely give you the best recommendation. Everything is cooked by the owner who fully masterize his art. No need to say much: try it if you have a chance and let me know what you think about it. I always have a bash there!

What a great value! €59 euros for two people for the best food ever! A large and deliciously varied…read morefresh seafood platter. Even the wine was modestly priced: €21 for a bottle of appropriate white wine on ice bucket. An experience worth returning to the beaches of Montpellier for. Friendly service and patrons alike (we got a ride back to town afterwards!) left two extremely satisfied Canadians!

THIS is the hole in the wall experience you are looking for. I literally reopened my Yelp account just to post this review! This is Senegalese "fusion" - amazingly fresh, tasty, and so yummy. I asked my babydaddy WHY it wasn't Michelin starred because it fucking should be! He explained that Michelin stars weren't just about food, it was more about the ambience... whatever. I'll take amazing food over hoity toity decor any day. We went here for dinner and even my picky toddler enjoyed his meal. We ordered most of the menu. The mango "mocktail" basically a ginger mango smoothie was to die for. The appetizer plate (fried) was delicious, my toddler enjoyed it. The duck looked good, the salmon looked good, but my seafood plate was probably one of the best, memorable meals I've had in France in four years. OMG finally seafood in a beach town that isn't shit. We went here for dinner. The place fills up quick and it's very popular so you must make a reservation at noon. Also BYOB because the chef is a really nice black Muslim man. So tall! The hostess/waitress is beautiful and kind. What a lovely lovely spot! I cannot recommend enough. 10/10! I want to go back again and again and again. In fact, I will demand lunch here again before we go.

If you spend vacation in the area and don't feel like going into the very centre of the…read morePalavas-les-Flots, this restaurant is a good choice. The beach is very near and the salty air adds a nice zest to almost every Mediterranean meal served here. Of course, the Moulles are the classic and you will not make mistake ordering them. However the fish served here are perfect. The wines are a bit more pricey then in the average seaside restaurant but they offer a good varieties with AOC labels. The servers were very friendly and helpful (having patience with us, foreign tourist breed). The only little disappointment was crème brule - I have eaten better ones, even out of France. Sitting on the street under a little Caribbean-looking umbrella/shed is must, however I peeked inside and the interior was pleasant and inviting too.
