This is where the Palavas locals go; though other review sites said this was a tourist spot. We…read morehappened upon it and a couple next to our table told us this a gem in the masses of musscle restaurants and the locals frequent here. It's near the shore, but not on it so I can see how it would get missed or looked over; there is just so much to choose from. I found it to be awesome and if you get the formula meal then you'll eat like a KING for little money. Try all their different sauces! We went with 4 adults and all got different mussels so we could sample more varieties ... that worked well! The address is a little screwy as the name is said to be their address but according to the official city site for Palavas the address for the restaurant is actually their other street (they are on the corner). If you want to get in on the weekend, MAKE A RESERVATION! Closed on Sundays and Mondays for lunch.

Me and my family decided to eat there one night and all I can say is delicious mussels.

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!

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!

Merveillous restaurant with fresh products. The dishes are very delicious…read more The staff is cordial and the service is fast. The prices are cheap.

I used to go the the "old" hippocampe (sea horse in French), not far away from the current place…read more I have always be happy with their food: very fresh seafood, always well prepared and seasoned. It's not the cheapest place around Palavas Casino but it's definitely one of the best value for money and high quality food you'll find in this tiny area (I have been trying pretty much all restaurants around). The owner is very friendly. He'll play guitar and jam with customers, especially in evenings. A big plus for razor clams "plancha" (pan fried with garlic, herbs and olive oil). Outdoor seating available

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.
