€€€€Seafood
Opposite the old port, the chef gives free rein to his unbridled creativity, inspired in particular by trips to Asia and his passion for seafood. The tasting menu ("Plongée en plusieurs paliers") is a genuine ode to the sea, with dishes like tartare of squid and dentex, covered in rice sheet and seasoned with a soy sauce made out of fermented fish and lime juice. The produce is remarkably fresh, the cooking is spot-on and the risk-taking is constant: this is a restaurant that stands out from the crowd! Their signature bouillabaisse, for two or more people, is out of this world…

Le Bistrot du Port is known for its fresh seafood and innovative dishes by Chef Mathieu Allinei, emphasizing ingredient quality and creative combinations. Service is generally professional, though some guests note inconsistent pacing or errors. The ambiance features a lovely terrace, but the interior decor appears dated with occasional chipped crockery. Value perceptions vary significantly: weekday lunches are praised for freshness and creativity, while dinners face criticism for high prices relative to portion sizes and occasional quality issues like cold fish. Diners should consider timing and expectations when evaluating the overall experience.
Ideal for travelers seeking creative seafood cuisine, particularly for lunch; dinner visitors should carefully weigh cost against portion size.
