Le Front de Mer - Le Barcarès

We're here today because it wasn't open anywhere else. Tent for a menu 29,90 €. Starters were fine, main thing terrible (horrible piece of beef that my wife did not eat), deserts ok. Service of a very inexperienced girl. They insisted on charging us for beef, although they admitted it was a terrible piece and my wife didn't eat it. I cannot understand the good reviews as this was the worst experience I had in France in a few years.

I went to lunch with my family in law on New Year's Day after visiting the cemetery to visit our ancestors. We were in good mood and celebrated the new year. We sat in the table. From the beginning of the order a...server said to us “You need to order quickly, otherwise you need to wait because restaurant is so busy”. I was with my 89-year-old mother-in-law and 87-year-old aunt. It took a while to decide and order for them because of their age. After the order we waited almost an hour. I assume that their kitchen has forgotten our order because other tables have been served after us, but they did not even apologize. We told him we were going without food. What he said to my aunt was: “You are impatient. So you should go and eat at McDonald!’ (the guy on the photo) How sad they have such an unpleasant attitude as a service industry that even works on New Year's Day. I have to say that I should trust my instinct that there is no beautiful atmosphere when I walked with dog in the morning because a man who worked in this restaurant threw a cigarette on the street. I've never had such a regrettable experience. I do not recommend this restaurant.

We ordered a Cuttlefish starter (very nice), Spaghetti Bolognese for our 5 year old (good), Piza for my wife (good) and Steak for myself. It was fairly busy, but not packed. All our food (apart from the steak) arrived pretty much at once and within...10 minutes, which wasn't a problem, but after at least another 30 minute wait for my Steak (other customers who arrived after us had finished now their main courses and ordering deserts), I asked her were it was and her attitiude seemed to change. She said it was coming, but after waiting another 15 minutes we had to give up waiting. I asked her to leave it and get the bill please. This went down like a lead balloon and she stormed off to get the bill in anger.

We ate here four times during our two week stay because the staff were understanding of our son's food allergies. They were helpful and friendly and the food was tasty. My husband reckons the steak was one of the best he's ever had :o)

We are here tonight as there was nowhere else open. Went for a menu €29.90. Starters were ok, mains were terrible (horrible piece of beef which my wife did not eat), deserts ok. Service from a very inexperienced girl. They insisted on charging us for...beef even though they admitted it was an awful piece and my wife did not eat it. I cannot understand the good reviews as this was the worst experience I have had in France in a number of years.
