SOCIETE LA CIOTAT LE GRILLON

February 19, 2026. Afternoon. Wind.. Cosy place at Le 52... Great coffee! Expect a suprise here! Merci beaucoup et a bientôt. We ordered "les moules marinières", It fantastic. Served by Cécile, we spent a great moment. We warmly recommend this place.

Very disappointing service, better walk further to another place ! We were in the beach nearby so we sat on their terrace for a coffee and ice-cream for our kids, not checking reviews ahead as we usually do. The waiter came to take our order, not very welcoming. He started writing and suddenly left to go inside the restaurant without giving any reason. He came back after (had forgotten us), not saying sorry or anything. We ordered a coffee, ice creams and soft drinks. The waiter came back and dropped the things without asking who was having what. We basically had to make our own service. The coffee never came, by the way.. When we asked to pay, I mentioned we didn’t get the coffee and so the waiter said he’d removed it from the bill. He gave me my change, after which I asked for a receipt. It turned out I’d paid an extra 1,50€.. basically the waiter trying to get his tips! Not even mentioning the music, some loud rap music which was definitely not the best fit with the clientele and the beach. Will certainly not go again, and recommend you try another cafe too !

We ordered a shisha but canceled it shortly after with a staff member. Despite this, we were still charged in full. Management later claimed that the staff member wasn’t authorized to cancel orders, which led to a serious argument. Instead of resolving the issue professionally, we were forced to pay everything — and shockingly, the owner even became physically aggressive.

Very friendly and smiling service! This restaurant offers a copious dish, €17.00 for Roquefort mussels with excellent fries (the mussels from Spain were large and full). A very nice view. A very good time spent with my daughter. Many thanks to Sarah. I recommend!

I've been here before but never left a review. The staff are very rude and super annoying about tables, I asked if I could sit on the terrace which was empty except for one table and the guy said it's not possible with what I wanted to order. It's this mentality that gives France a bad name! This place doesn't understand that good service will make them more money in the long run. The last time I went (yesterday) they had virtually no customers while all the other restaurants were full....it's for a reason! Also the food has no taste...

The waiters look like the villains in The Fast and the Furious. More interested in chatting to girls than serving customers. Anyone who tries to sit down gets the Spanish inquisition from them. The waiters will decide where you sit and you'll like it or leave it. A young girl joined them later on and was very charming and attentive - she is the only reason I give more than one star. The food was good. Not worthy of the price on its own but I suppose the location on the beach makes up for it. So many other restaurants offering the same location but better service I would recommend you go to one of the alternatives instead.

The restaurant was half empty. I sat down at a table close to the beach. It still needed to be cleaned from the last guests. After 10 minutes waiting I walked to the chef and asked if I can order something. 5 minutes later he came and said I could not sit there because it is a table if 4. The could be easily moved or he could have offered me a nice alternative. But I guess a single guest is not appreciated. This is at 5pm. The restaurant is still half empty ( I am sitting next door now).

Very rude and slow service , worst dinning experience in this beautiful town
