Bistrot de La Rague

Despite years in the area we had never ventured into the port of La Rague. The parking is not easy if you are not an owner of a boat in the marina. All 8 of us descended for lunch on a hot summers Sunday, they were very helpful and found us a table. There was food to suit all of us, kids menu to pizzas (excellent) and steak, yummy burgers, and fish. I had really delicious linguine with half a lobster. Service was very very good. We discovered Franck used to be at the St Charles restaurant in Mandelieu which has been a local haunt for a while, he has been here for 4 months and those things we were missing from St Charles when he left are now here. We will definitely return. If there was one criticism it would be on an utterly steaming day the restaurant was a bit hidden from any possible sea breezes but that is hardly their fault! No sign of any "biker theme" as reported by one below. Didn't get that one at all, nice wooden sanded down tables and a beachy feel. Great location looking out over the boats.

Just returned from lunch which was very tasty and a very special view and not overpriced. However, although our server was good the rest of the staff were miserable and forgetful which is such a shame as the setting is so gorgeous. Maybe some staff training is needed!

Another visit to La Rague with Camembert Serrano and Salade Bistro to start, , 2x Veal and a fillet steak to follow with coffee to finish. Bottles of Petit Chablis and Brouilly to drink and an overall bill if €223 for three. Not cheap, but worthwhile in the setting of this beautiful port.

Food is great - special mention for the Beef Taki ! - and always a wonderful variety to choose from on the daily menu. Great cocktails and wines. The staff is just adorable. Would love to go every night - thank goodness it is right down the road .... our local favorite BRAVO !

We returned to the Bistro, and my Sole was ok, though rathe small for €45 ,but unfortunately my wife's lobster was definitely not fresh, and the meat in the craw slushy and inedible. Without any argument, the €52 was removed from the bill. Problem solved.Prices have certainly increased (in Euro terms) but hopefully our disappointment was a one off.
