Les Templiers - Aigues-Mortes

Rather surprised by the mixed reviews on this restaurant - we found it charming with a pleasant service, a perfect setting in the garden of the courtyard and a superbly produced food. Of course, it was one of the most expensive meals we had during our stay in france, but it was worth it and the price we paid was partly due to an exceptional bottle of wine recommended by the owner and which perfectly complemented our meal. the menu changes every day, depending on what is available on the market - a good sign, have we thought. dishes are quite simple in terms of preparation but it only serves to demonstrate the delicious fresh flavors of the ingredients. My fried anchovies entrance was excellent and my wife also enjoyed her salad of artcihokes and parmesan. my main dish of lemon juice ray wing was fantastic and my wife's redt was highly prepared and very tasty. service was very good and, judging by the atmosphere, everyone seemed to enjoy his meal as much as we did. overall, a good honest cuisine, produced locally, simply but knowingly prepared and beautifully presented. and the pretty outdoor setting, nestled at the back of the restaurant so that you know that it was there, was delicious - we would certainly come back again!

We had planned to go for lunch, but when we tried to enter the restaurant with our 3-year-old son in his stroller, we were arrested by the waitress who told us that they did not want pushchairs inside (the patio was more or less empty and there was plenty of space) and that anyway they would not prepare special dishes for children and that our son would have an adult dessert day When we wanted to start to argue that a 3-year-old would eat only one hand full of fries, other guests entered and immediately followed them inside, leaving us alone at the door in the middle of our sentence. after reading all these reviews, I am grateful that we did not enter....

We had lunch there on July, tasty by the menu and the pretty patio with its old stone swimming pool. the service was not welcoming, the food was good but the portions much too small, the time between the 1st dish and the main dish much too long, and the addition...aie.. 58 euros for a dozen slices of roasted hazelnut beef followed recently by 4 cannellonis. stuffed vegetables (1 mushroom, 1 tomato, 1 small eggplant) with 1 dessert: a verveine peach. we spent more than 2 hours sitting, barely had the waitress smile (or was that the owner's wife?). Although the patio is very nice with hibiscus and bougainvilliers, and inhabited by turtles, this restaurant is too expensive and is not worth it.

Difficult to choose when it comes to finding the right address to eat dead aigues. There are so many places and it gets pretty confusing! fortunately the host of our b

We wanted to book this restaurant 2 years ago at our first visit to Aigues-Mortes, after having received a recommendation from our host owner. We did not succeed at that time, but reserved a table at our first night this time. Although in summer, the temperature was not too high, we asked for a table inside (fireplace, very comfortable). the director and waitress don't have English, we have a medium French (to poor), but I thought I understood that the restaurant would not be opened inside, only on the terrace (even if the tables were erect). Well, all the guests were out there that night. the terrace is attractive (see photo), and the restaurant was quite frequented if not full. whether it is our limited French or not (we try to discuss in French), but the staff did not seem very friendly, not welcoming. I don't think it's because we're not French, because I've read criticisms from French customers about the same thing. I really don't like to criticize front staff because they work long hours and support a lot of things. I like to give an honest impression when things aren't right. food was well prepared, but not exceptional. We had different entries (soupe, artichokes, raviolis), from 16 to 20 €. the main dishes were lamb chops (sketch) and a steak, at €24 to €27. the wine list is large but expensive. Overall, the cost of the meal was 55 € per person (no dessert). we would have expected a very good memorable meal for that, but it was really not. We're not coming back here.
