L'Atelier - Saint-Raphaël

Never disappointed. Everything's fresh. Green tea with mint fills me with every meal here..

The dishes are excellent. Fresh and not frozen food.

Very good address away from the crowd and exhaust gas!

This restaurant is hidden away in a narrow pedestrian street just off the boulevard. Sometimes the difference between high and low season is like night and day. In August we enjoyed a lovely meal with excellent service here...something that can't be said of this visit. While in the summer you sit in a quaint alley, in the winter you may enjoy the uninspired grey and red interior, random pictures hanging on the wall and loud random music coming from the kitchen. The waitress was more interested in her phone than serving us, the candle at our table was only lit when we asked. €15 for an entree and main course, my expectations were not that high. Main course was served before we had cutlery and extra glasses for water were only provided when we asked for them. The food was edible, but that's about it. Skip dessert.

Difficult to find it since it is situated in a narrow street. At a first glance you get a bit suprised but once you are seated everything is different. A young pretty girl and a young guy serve at the table and make you feeling good because of their spontaneous and simple behaviors. You can enjoy good fresh fish but, most likely, the best is the "coeur de boeuf". It is a fantastic steack, coming with excellent and surprising potatoes (pomme de terre). The chef suggested also a great bottle of french red wine.... Fantastic marriage!The bill is fair!!!What to say: don't expect luxury environment, don't complain about the small and unstable tables..... Just enjoy!
