Le Cesario - Leucate

Both the food and the service is very good. The pizza bread is thin and crunchy and the filling is rich and good. The pasta and moules is also very good.

Despite being very busy (understandably), the service was rapid, very friendly and even in English if I needed it. Food was good portions at good prices, no rip off here despite waterfront position. The seafood was fresh and the pizzas well covered and huge. Thoroughly recommend.

I’m not sure we should be telling you about this as there is always a queue for a table in the evenings and having to smell the wonderful aromas whilst waiting can be hell! These are great pizzas – thin crust loads of toppings, piping hot and extremely moreish. The other dishes on the menu (pastas, salads etc) are just as good but, for me, this is the place to go for pizza.

We have been here many times and are treated like family. Excellent choices and great location. Cesario is nearly always full which says it all.

Port Leucate is a large holiday complex in south west France. People go their especially to windsurf, sail and to enjoy everything that seaside living has the offer. The 'village ' sits on strip of land between the Mediterranean and a lagoon famous for its shell-fish. It lies close to where the Pyrennees run down to Mediterranean and so the air is fresh and invigorating and the multi-coloured sky is vast. Port Leucate is perfect for day-trips and longer stays for those who like the beauty of the coastal wilderness. Le Cesario sits on the quayside of a port that is crammed with cruisers and yachts of all types. On breezy days the wind whistles through the mast stays of the bobbing boats and Le Cesario provides a welcome respite from the stress. The restaurant is simple and spacious, decorated with a thirties America theme. Photos of Elliot Ness, Al Capone and others line the walls but this is not an intensely Italian restaurant. The menu is varied and choices are easy to make. All the dishes, including the wines, are made from local products and their freshness is welcome and obvious. The service is excellent, warm and very helpful and the overall ambiance is very enjoyable. My wife and I spent a wonderful relaxing hour at Le Cesario and we wholeheartedly recommend it.
