L'Escale

I came to town as a tourist and stopped at this restaurant for a drink and something to eat. I waited at the door for over half an hour before anyone served me. When I tried to look at the menu, the short-haired woman serving that day gave me an uncomfortable look. She was arrogant and seemed not to like her job. The service was very poor. I don’t understand how the city lets businesses like this damage tourists’ impression of it. Avoid this place.

The location is amazing, and I loved staying in the room. It was tidy and beautiful, cottage-style, with a balcony and views of the sea and cliffs. After reading the bad reviews now, I’m kind of shocked because my experience was so good.

I wish I’d checked Google before eating here. Other people had already tried to warn visitors, but I only saw those comments afterward. Since it’s the hotel restaurant, it doesn’t show up on Google as a restaurant. The staff were kind, but the galettes were horrible. It was our first galette in France, and we thought they all tasted terrible until we tried them elsewhere and realized this place was the worst in France. It was also super expensive: 10 euros for a 500 ml beer, 13 euros per galette, and 6 euros for crepes. Don’t eat here.

At check-in, scheduled for 2:00 pm, the bartender, who was also the receptionist, told me to come back at 5:00 because the room wasn’t ready. I was shocked. The hotel itself looked very cheap, smelled strongly old, and had small, very dirty rooms. Downstairs, the little restaurant was one of the worst I’ve seen. I ordered chicken breast for myself, carbonara for my wife, and two Pepsis. I took one bite, paid 38€, and left extremely angry and disappointed. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. I should have checked the reviews first.
