L'Oustau Camarguais - Aigues-Mortes

Wandering from a grumpy air in the city, having missed the apparently obligatory curfew of 15 hours, we fell on this place covered with vines in a secondary street. That was the Indian or nothing, so without any expectations, we sat down. Now, to be frank, we had luck with the service, because an extremely kind guy was immediately available and eager to help; it turned out that he is the owner's son and a full-fledged leader, but helping the peacock family. (if I could remember her name, I'd give her a shot!) the waitress who helped was a beautiful and super nice movie star. his father owns a shop 100 meters away! The first promising sign was that it was a short menu. the second being the fact that the usual camarguais dishes did not appear in honor. going straight to the goal, the kitchen was brilliant and creative (the mussels with algae were a revelation!). reading the other reviews, I have some sympathy, because the second visit was served by the girl of the house, who should really require a refund of her charming school. Mom's a margolous miriam silk, and I guess, a tough one. But the star of the show is Dad. a man simply adorable and totally engaged in his vocation. shy and shy of nature, but full of charm to warm up. He is the image of his son, as charming but who has travelled a lot! this place is "real", not a tourist trap. This and Dad's cooking make him special.

Restaurants in which I ate with dead eagles, it's among the most expensive but food usually justifies it. I went several times to the city and in 2014, I ate there half a dozen times served by the charming, clear student whose children still speak. At the beginning of our 2015 adventure, we went there at the beginning of the first week. the fish was exquisite and the food of the children (although an incorrect order) was delicious. You smell one, but? my toro net was rotten and when I spoke to the server, the owner (artificially described by another critic on the site) refused to accept this fact (although a non-eaten steak of 28 euros) and was very disinvolt in his response. his defense was that my English pallet didn't care about the taste of the toro. It's not the case and (happyly, I'm waiting for her), I've hardened my arteries on the bull steaks throughout the visit. shame!

From the moment we went to this restaurant to check the menu, we were welcomed. When we asked about vegetarian possibilities, the server went to the kitchen and came back with some possibilities. kitchen staff even suggested making a pizza that wasn't on the menu. Finally, I went there with a thousand goat cheese smoke and a salad, and I was not disappointed - delicious! my partner chose local sausages and he was also very happy with his meal. in the midst of the many tourist trap restaurants that this city has to offer, we were delighted to fall on this very friendly restaurant located in a quiet street.

We, 4 Australians, fell on the Camarguais subtau at lunchtime and enjoyed the fact that it is a bit distant from the lively area of the tourist restaurants of the square and that there are shaded vineyards under which sit outside. our French is basic but we were helped in our decision to dine here by a charming waiter who, we discovered, studied English and American literature at the University of Montpellier. She advised us on the menus and we decided to stay immediately. We ordered from the menu at 28,50 euros and tasted various specialities of camarguaises of beef and seafood cooked and presented so nicely. The duck salad was so tasty and the camel bull that had been marinated in red wine had melted in the mouth. The octopus was so tender and delicious. all was accompanied by a local bottle of pinet picpoul fruit, a grape that we only recently discovered. Our desserts included the cream burnt, freshly prepared apricot pie and homemade chocolate mousse. All were excellent. Our server was so busy with us and the attention we received from the owner was very warm and friendly and helped our server to advise one of us on the requirements of the gluten-free regime. We also met his son who had recently travelled a lot in Southern Sudan. our global experience in this restaurant has been exemplary. If we lived closer, we would return to it regularly.

By chance, and without having read any opinions, we stopped for lunch at the Camarguais subtau during a recent passage to Aigues-Mortes. At the beginning, we were drawn to the fact that it is a little away from the most frequented tourist areas, and it was a little quieter. What a treat. We both chose the menu of the noon, starting with a delicious cocktail, followed by shells cooked in various ways, then of Provencal Ioli. Tatin pie for dessert. We were very satisfied with the quality of food, the atmosphere and the attention of the owner. There is an obvious pride for the high quality of the kitchen, its presentation and culinary experience. we had a great lunch on Sunday - a perfect place to enjoy a quiet meal - and we would certainly be looking forward to going back.
