Like eating in a beach hut in a little harbour just outside of town, Chez Paul has great service, very good pizza from the wood-fired oven, simple pan-fried fish straight from the boats, and epic desserts. Average for 3 courses is 40 euros per person.
Strictly for carnivores, with meat-heavy menu, and the go-to place for that French classic, steak & frites. Outside seating on the terrace. Menu at 21 euros.

Even if it is not terrace […]
