Hotel Restaurant LA MER MONTE

Finding our usual restaurant in Audinghen closed Tom selected the nearest alternative, La Mer Monte. It looked authentic and there were cars in the car park so we gave it a go. Restaurant was basic but clean and we selected a table next to the window which looked over the garden.

Enjoyed some great mussels here for a fair price. Mussels are very small but very tasty.

Atmosphere is a bit less: everything light bleu, feels like a greek restaurant in a touristical place. The aperitive of sparkling rosé French wine had a weird taste. But overall a nice experience. Don't expect much though.

My rule of thumb is that places boasting menus with pictures should be avoided at all costs and I was proved right yet again. Sometimes the food within belies the shabbiness outside, but alas not here. Limited choice poorly executed - unless you've come to France for moules et frites - which we hadn't.

Very "family" spirit restaurant. Food is so fresh! The place breaths the sea and the somewhat oldfashion look is just what one should appreciate for informal meals. Service is incredibly efficient. They sure know to run a local specialties place since long.

Small portions, not fresh, not even the spaghetti bolognaise was good. Friendly staff though. Would not reccomend this place.
