You’ll like it here. Smack bang on the estuary this Bouzigues restaurant allows you a wonderful view of the marina, with the rock of Sète perched steadily opposite. From here you can almost wet your toes in the water while whetting your appetite. But if it’s the practical approach you’re looking for, there’s a charming estate agency next door for you to check out the current house prices before or after lunch. Some years ago, while house hunting in France we stayed in a village without an immobilier. My cousin, who knows my wife’s quirks as well as I do, suggested that she was suffering from ‘estate agent interruptus.’ But that’s another story! On entering the restaurant you will be greeted by Marie-Noëlle with a glass of Kir Royale while you peruse your menu. My recommendation is the Fruites de Mer followed by Lobster served either hot (with cognac) or cold (with aioli) and a dessert to follow – all for 30€. The scallops also take some beating here, while the carafe of vin blanc is very acceptable. The restaurant has only been open since July '04, and the place has a fresh warm friendliness to make you want a return visit. Marie-Noëlle is also an artist of note, and the walls are tastefully decorated with her paintings - which are for sale.Who knows, one of them might be just the thing for a wall in one of your rooms, or, you might just go home with a painting and a house to boot! To avoid disappointment through the summer period, do book ahead.
