Le Grand Bleu - Réserver une table

What attracted us to this restaurant rather than any of the others nearby on the restaurant strip beside the canal was the bright appearance with a blue and white theme. Almost empty when we arrived at 12.15, the restaurant was almost completely full within fifteen minutes. We heard nothing but French around us so assumed this wasn’t a typically tourist restaurant although menu translations were available. Lunch was a long leisurely affair, perfect for a sunny Sunday and just what we like, although we could see this could be irksome if you wanted more time to sightsee. There was a variety of choice including several menus. All four of us chose from the E23.50 menu. The starter with oysters,...

It was our first visit to Le Grande Motte. It's an interesting sea-side town. New and definitely not traditional. It's been mostly well done with upkeep kept to a decent standard. On reflection I think that October was a good time to visit, sort of between seasons not too busy but not dead. On appearances alone the Grand Bleu stood out. It was the busiest restaurant we saw and we didn't have a reservation. We just managed to get an outside table. We were helped by an extremely energetic older man who could have been the owner. Next time we'll book. We opted for the 30 euro menu, prawns for me and fish soup for my wife to start, we both had sea bream for the main and a sort of chocolate souff...

We took some time picking which restaurant to visit as there were so many to chose from. This one was busy, which is normally a good sign and had a nice view, and on the side of the canal.

The Oysters were exqisite and the prawns, snails very good however, the rest including the Lobster, Mussels and Crevettes were wet and tasteless as if they had been frozen. The Mussels were in fact stuck to their shells. Very dissapointing particul...

We visited with my family for Sunday lunch in September. The restaurant was busy but not full. We ordered wine and water. Sadly it took 3 more attempts to get the water! Mains ordered, 2 arrived and then about ten minutes later the Mussels arrive, top off ready to dive in cold! Called waiter over they took them back another 15 mins later arrived sadly not fresh reheated turning them to rubber so I was left with no lunch! Paid and left sadly I would not recommend

Nice staff, very poor food. Pasta drowned in sweet and sour sauce, scallops just defrosting, moelleux de chocolat was a reheated brownie.
