This place went down couple of years ago, they use much "SYSCO" like ingredients (not fresh, not…read morelocal) and it eventually turned into a lounge bar more than a restaurant. The main issue is eating outside: the staff will not warn you that seagulls will attack and steal your food. Once it happens, the restaurant will not offer to replace anything. So...you are forced to eat inside, or just not eat, pretty much. Waiters can be a bit moody, and I also witnessed a customer fight. Will not go back.

We stayed at this gorgeous hotel on our one night in Sete. It's a gorgeous top rated hotel located…read moreright on the canal street, facing the canal. Our view from our suite was spectacular with sweeping views of the canal! The hotel itself is beautiful both on the outside and on the inside. A gorgeous sun filled atrium with a high glass ceiling, fabulous artwork and very chic decor. Our room was huge and the decor was beautiful, accented with gorgeous furniture and our bathroom complete with the quintessential "French" tub (loved it). We had a lovely continental breakfast delivered to our room in the morning. My only 2 gripes were the parking garage that was a nightmare to get out off once we parked the car. We checked in after 9pm and the garage was not well lighted and we could not find our way out! It also does not connect to the hotel so we had to lug our heavy luggage out (we'd been traveling for over a week, Otay), in the dark. Lol. And second, for such being rated as the top hotel in Sete, there were no luggage racks nor anyone to help us with our luggage. We also wanted to dine at the hotel restaurant which was highly recommended but to our dismay everything in Sete shuts down by 11pm even on Fridays and Saturdays! Next time we will just have to arrive earlier and carry less luggage. All in all, it's a must stay when in Sete!

Well we all come to Bouzigues to eat fresh oysters and le 29 really delivers on that. I just ate…read morethe freshest best oysters in my life and will definitely come back for more. Yet le 29 is excellent all around with friendly efficient staff and a 24.5 euro menu that is a good deal with excellent appetizer, entree and dessert choices. There is also a cheaper 17 euro menu or plenty of à la carte choices. Reservations is a must. We arrived at 12:30 for lunch and were lucky enough to get the last table available. The place was packed and I will not take that gamble next time around. All the dishes we ordered were all perfect. Can't remember last time I had such a perfect seafood meal in such a relaxed setting.

For a spot right in the middle of a tourist area this place was a charming experience. We were a…read moreparty of 6, 4 adults and 2 kids and just a little before the dinner crowds. The hosts were welcoming and helpful explaining the daily specials in their best if limited English and provided English menus. The restaurant itself is quite striking inside with a high stone arch ceiling and well executed decor. The food leans heavily to seafoods of course. It was high quality and substantial portions. I felt bad about not being able to finish my swordfish and my in laws struggled to finish their plates. The kids loved their selections as well as they chocolate cake. The wine list was very good with quite a few local varieties. All in all this place felt a step above the other spots in the tourist ghetto along the waterfront and I would be happy to go back.

The food was excellent: fresh seafood and cooked well. There was an excellent variety and everything we had was delicious. There was also a good wine list with a range of bottles, 2/3 bottles and wine by the glass. We'd highly recommend La Marine.
