The positive reviews listed are years ago and it is poorly rated by trip advisor. The location is…read morebeautiful but otherwise it does not live up to the suggestion that it is different from the touristy harbor fish places. The fish was flavorless at best or tasted of the sea, meaning very fishy(which admittedly may be a flavor that is welcomed more in the Mediterranean). They are catering to throngs of tourists and it may not be important to them if the restaurant is having a bad moment.

Soupe de Poisson is my thing. I have enjoyed variations from Toulon to Biarritz, and cooked it…read moremyself. So I wanted to splurge on something really good. I was disappointed in the food and disappointed in the bill. The "famous" bouillabaisse was somewhat below average - slightly heavy and with almost a cinnamon flavor - but lacking salt, fennel, or saffron that often give more complexity. There was nothing exciting about the soup base or the chunks of fish and potato. Portion size was medium - not large. And yet we did not finish our bowls. Fish soup everywhere else in France is 15-25eu, and usually better tasting, albeit without the potato and fish chunks. This is 55 Eu per person. Which is astronomical - especially for this quality of taste. Ordered San Pelligrino sparkling water. They delivered an unsealed bottle with their restaurant name. No idea of actual contents. Arrived 7:58 for 8 pm reservation and place was 20% occupied. We got served about 8:50 pm

The fish was seared perfectly yet tender and moist. The wine was cold and refreshing. The location is just on the water on an officially (hey this is France!) car-free street and most of the tables are outside. Service was fast, maybe not the friendliest, but professional and correct. There was a twinkle in the eye of the waitress at my crude french. We decided to have desert as well. They were very good, but way too big for me. Next time I'll order one to share.

We could have wanted a price list at the entrance, but on the other hand - we might had said no thanks - 15€ for each sunbed and 6 for the umbrella. However, there was a very good service for putting up the umbrella when we needed it. We brought our own lunch and drinks. I don't know if you normally do since it's a restaurant - but if you charge 36€ for a couple with need of an umbrella, I would want to decide myself what I do in that sunbed. A big plus is the shower and somewhat clean toilet. I would come back but it's too expensive. To compare I paid 6 € at Kos for a luxury bed with music and wifi.

As always, we were told the menu by the chef, himself, and our dinner was divine. Tonight we shared smoked salmon dredged in sugar and salt, cleaned off, and prepared with light herbs, cucumber, seaweed, and lemon. For the main course I had a specialty, Quimper, a dish of beautifully prepared shrimp with Gnocchi. My husband had a mixed shell fish, mussels, saithe , sea shrimps, tiny roasted potatoes, and sea fruit. For dessert we had coconut pana cota with Martinique rum soaked raisins and pineapple. To drink we split a bottle of local wine. Per usual, our dinner was a very special experience. I highly recommend Le Poisson Rouge .
