Bleu Citron Snack Bar - Ceret

A busy intimate cafe/restaurant next to the Art Gallery, with good salads and burgers. i haven't found a place in the region that does other than great frites nor great coffee.

Having stopped in Ceret and had a wander around, we looked for somewhere to eat. We didn't want one of the many larger eateries so chose the Bleu Citron. Having sat down, the manager (?) came and took our order, had a little joke with us - asked if I wanted the salad Bien Cuit ( as that was how we had asked for my wife's meal). I had an excellent Catalan salad. Nice location right next door to the Musee d'art moderne. Interesting to read all the negative comments, we had no issues. Oh, and the loo was very interesting :)

We sat down for a snack after the big wonderful market and was first greeted by a female member of the staff that was really nice. However when the staff member with a long gray braid it turned ugly. Since we are in France we tried to politely speak French, but he chose to speak English to us which is completely up to him. After that, all of the customers except us, a group of young women, were met with smiles. We were ignored for better part of the meal, him being 'busy'. When trying to he t another menu it took more than 10 minutes. I was told off for asking about it, and then he smacked it down on the table. When I said thank you but no thank you he smacked the menu on the arm of my friend telling us off for 'not returning it properly' . All other groups who were not single women were treated very nicely. Food was uninspired but not bad. However someone who treats their customers like he does, and choose to do so should not be in the business of hospitality. I have never experienced such bad customer service.

Stephane and his wife run this lovely cafe next door to the modern art museum in Céret. The salads are the best. Good menu with quite a choice, the portions are big.I live in Céret and go there for lunch regularly, my grandson loves the crêpes. Don't hesitate to have lunch in the Citron Bleu.Ps. Do try the loo. It will surprise you. Clue, Stéphane and his wife are in love with India.

We had the Parisienne Omelette and Salmon panino. The sandwich was quite good but the omelette was overcooked and the consistency rubbery. The Cherry crepe dessert was quite good.
