La Mamasita - Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

Friendly restaurant. good cool environment in the heat of the day. eat well. the pleasant staff steak on the menu was excellent. lively little restaurant.

We were with family and friends. we have eaten fish and meat the quality was the personal was very friendly and nice.

This restaurant near the hôtel de ville was a beautiful surprise. we wanted to eat moules mariniers, but it was unfortunately not available. Instead, we had an aïoli that was really good and as gloomy a caffe gourmand that was beautiful.

Dropped in for a light meal one night during a week's stay at Saintes Maries de la Mer we chose this restaurant because we both really fancied some sort of mussels dish, and they had a good inexpensive menu including Moules Marinieres frites...plus dessert. The garish decor and massive menu put us on our guard not to expect haute cuisine from this place, but since we anticipated this, we were not disappointed. The mussels were actually very good and there were absolutely stacks of them. The accompanying chips were plentiful and OK, but were a little soggy and certainly not the nice crisp French fries that I had been expecting. Service OK. Atmosphere very quiet in such a large place, but we were first into the restaurant that evening around and it was at the end of the season. I expect that it is packed at the height of the summer season. In summary: more than OK for the basics (so fit the bill for us on this occasion), but don't expect refined dishes or fine dining.

First of all, the staff was very friendly and available. Even if the service was very long, the disches worth it !
