Restaurant le Porto Pollo

We were looking for a tasty, relaxed lunch French style so we walked along the promenade at Sete. A nice setting with an outlook onto the fishing boats. We decided on this restaurant as it seemed to be inviting with a reasonable menu. We went...for the main and a dessert for value. The King Prawns sounded attractive as did the Grilled Tuna.

I loved the fish soup, the oysters, the specialities from the area!!But above all, the kindness of this family who holds this typical restaurant for years. We went to Sete for the long weekend.

We met the mum behind the bar, the sons taking orders serving while discussing with us about everything in a very good English. It felt almost like home. It was such nice lunch that we decided to go back the day after for diner. And it was was even better the second time!

Very welcoming, however, once seated it is all down hill from there! Pasta gluggy, grey tuna no or poor service.
