Loved watching the pizza be freshly made. Great food,…read moreservice was good as well. Very friendly service.

My husband and I fell in love with Chez Anna and Jo. Anna and Jo are a charming, gracious couple…read moreand Anna is a wonderful cook. We had dinner there twice and not because there aren't plenty of good options in Hyères. The first time, I had perfectly prepared and seasoned canneloni. I had stopped eating ravioli in restaurants years ago because I invariably found the pasta tasteless and doughy and the filling unable to compete with that. But because our first dinner was so delicious, I decided to give ravioli another try the second night and it was delightfully light, perfectly al dante, with a filling that was complemented by the pasta, not smothered by it. My husband's daube, a Provençal braised beef with a little bit of gravy and carrots over pasta, was sublime. It had the delicious strong presence of herbes d'Provence that is typical in the region. He ate that dish at both of our dinners there. But it's not just the food that is perfect. Jo, the host and server, is kind and gentle and pays attention to his guests and to detail. Anna, who came out of the kitchen both times we were there, possibly because we were the last diners of the evening, is also kind and gracious. We were with our toddler and, without being asked, Jo brought out cushions so she could sit higher in the chair. When I expressed concern about her possibly spilling food (tomato sauce, in particular) on the cushion, Jo quickly told me not to worry about it. And, on top of all that, the interior walls of the restaurant are covered with Jo's beautiful paintings (which, unfortunately for us, are not for sale). We highly recommend Chez Anna and Jo and look forward to returning!

So, my husband and I are not particularly fish fans. I do eat fish, including shellfish but he…read moretypically only eats shellfish or sushi type raw fish. But, we were in Provence, we like to eat specialities of the local region wherever we go, and bouilliabasse is a specialty of the region. Our hosts highly recommended La Bouillabaisse. You have to order the bouilliabaisse 24 hours in advance, which we didn't know until we got there. And, the restaurant was fully booked for that evening. We also didn't realize that reservations were a must on a weekend evening even in September. We came back for dinner Monday night. By then, we were getting cold feet and wondering if we'd made a mistake in ordering the meal. But, we went through with it and are both glad we did! The broth, not a tomato base as we'd expected, was deliciously seasoned, the fish, a large selection of shellfish and fish, perfectly cooked. Nothing had a "fishiness" smell or taste as all of the ingredients were as fresh as could be and truly delicious! I wouldn't make a general statement that this restaurant is good for children but the staff was helpful and atttentive including to our toddler, who eats a variety of food and enjoyed the bouillabaisse.

They have rogail saucisse which in and of itself is an amazing Reunionaise dish: The cocktails…read morewere delicious, the ambiance nice, and the service was very intimate.
