“ Une super expérience ! Cadre idyllique avec vue mer. Une cuisine simple mais travaillée jusqu’au détail, avec des produits frais et de qualité. Une carte des vins qui plaira forcément aux amateurs. Un service irréprochable, souriant et chaleureux. Des prix tout à fait abordables au vue de la qualité des produits et de l’emplacement Quand je vois certains avis, je me dis qu’on a pas passé la même soirée ou qu’on était pas au même endroit !!!! Restauratrice aussi et tout était top, il faut juste savoir le reconnaître. ”
“ MAGNIFIQUE ! Nous recommandons vivement ce restaurant. Jeune couple en vacances, nous recherchions un joli restaurant en bord d’océan pour manger en terrasse. Ce lieu est magnifique. Tout était parfait, le service était vraiment super. Les serveurs étaient tous très sympathiques, la cuisine était tout aussi bonne, nous avons prit le poulpe et la dorade entière grillés sur le brasero, c’était excellent ! Merci à cette équipe dynamique et très sympathique de nous avoir fait passer un si joli moment ! ”
“ We are staying in Fouras for a few days and to find this great restaurant on our doorstep is amazing, the food was delicious and the service was excellent, thankyou so much for your patience with our very poor french! We hope to return before we leave. ”
“ Beautiful food in a great setting with fantastic service ”
“ Enjoyed my meal very much here. Although the menu is simple, the execution of the dishes showed the touch of a really skilled chef. Not only right cuisson etcetera, but small details elevating the meal and bring it to a higher standard. Great care of the fresh (and local when possible) produce. O'Carrelet is a seaside pavillon which is relatively small inside and with a bigger terrace. The staff is professional without losing sight of the loose and easy going atmosphere associated with the location ”
