Le Bistrot de La Flotte

Stopped by for a light lunch in the sun. Taken in by the outdoor seating in the sunshine with moules et frites on the menu, which everyone else had ordered. Large beer 7 euros, fine. Moules et frites 9.90 euros, decent price. Absolutely appalled with what was served. Looked like they had just been fished out of the net with the sea water as the mariniere sauce.

This bistro has a great location to the side of the harbour. I ordered moules frites.

Cold food, the plates are almost empty. The waiter is rude and you have to ask for some bread several times. I definitely do not recommend this place.
