Chez Lolo - Saint-Palais-sur-Mer

Great place obviously for mussels. Nice and quick service with a great variety of mussels to choose from served with a generous portion chips. Location is perfect, the restaurant itself is very basic but this adds to the charm and the summer feel!

We tried to eat here when we were last in this beautiful town 3 years ago, but it was fully booked. We were more lucky this time, but we're just a little disappointed. My wife's Moules Mariniere were not the classical recipe and my burger ( I don't do sea things) was quite ordinary. The staff are great and the location has lots of character; the number of Customers is a testament to how highly rated Chez Lolo is, but nor for us.

Perched at the water's edge, a down to earth restaurant overlooking the main beach at Saint Palais sur Mer. It's only open March to September and it is well worth booking, especially in the evening. We visited on a Tuesday night at the end of August and it was packed. There were plenty of staff on duty and they were very polite, friendly and super efficient. The prices are very reasonable ( €8-10 for a pizza) and there is plenty to choose from - the moules et frites looked fantastic. My pizza was delicious and my wife's salad was substantial and very tasty.

A family favourite - sampling moules in a restaurant on stilts as the rising tide laps under the floor. A quirky place prettily situated on top of rocks off the west side of the bay. Make sure you book in advance as it's very popular. Lots of choices on the menu and the food is delicious and plentiful.

We go here often and are never disappointed. Tables with a sea view - great mussels in all their guises - friendly and good staff with great service! What more could you want?
