Contribute Feedback What LG-Aude-LG likes about Hôtel De La Plage:
L'Hotel de la Plage is a quite good restaurant, offering a great range of delicious local options with fresh seasonal products (seafood especially), a long wine list and an very efficient service ; all of this at affordable rates. But you are in the Village de l'Herbe and here, there are many other places to have lunch in... why shouldn't you try one of this picturesque genuine Oysters cabins facing the Bassin d'Arca...

What JoniHelsinki doesn't like about Hôtel De La Plage:
After a good appetizer things went downhill. Our main course either was forgotten or served at another table. After complaints we were compensated by the fact that they did not charge for the wine. View all feedback.
The place looks nice, well set in a cozy corner of cap ferret. Unfortunately that’s the only positive about this place: service is as bad as it gets. Servers keep ignoring you, , mix things up, look grumpy and sad when you kindly tell them that this is not the way to do things, the owner intervenes with the classic ‘monsieur c’est inutile de s’énerver’ ... which one wonders how many time she tells people every day ... food is ‘banale’ at the very best. If you don’t like what you do, please don’t do it. Let someone else take over your spot and make customers happy!
This is a one of a kind place, incomparable to any other restaurant I’ve been to before. Situated in historic Herbe, beautiful views over the Bassin D’Archacon, it offers good food a comprehensive list of wines to choose from. We had grilled oysters and artichoke with foie gras. Alongside a decent rosé from the Provence. Service is friendly. Excellent dessert pain perdu at the end. One thing to improve: the restrooms seem to date right back to 1860, the year this place was build. I will not go into details but most public restrooms in France ! will beat this place when it comes to cleanliness.
I read some dreadful experiences in the ratings but I never experienced it. I regularly come back with family and friends and all share my judgement on this restaurant. Maybe try to be at the start of the service 19:30 20:00 as service may slow later when it gets more busy. The food is very fresh and tasty bistro like. The service is caring: bringing water and bread without usually needing to ask for it.
Hostess asked us to wait across the street for 25 mins and when we came back they seated us in the apéro section where you can’t eat lunch then proceeded to give us a lecture about how 25 minutes in a restaurant doesn’t necessarily mean 25 minutes and that we should have that in mind.
This restaurant was recommended to us by the owner of our guest house. We had tuna from the special board. It could have been a fantastic meal but the tuna was under-cooked even for us and we don't like it too well done. It was a very large and thick piece of fish and at the thickest part had not even warmed through in the middle. I suppose we should have sent it back but in a language that is not your own this is difficult. The desert and service were good.
