I’m not long time in France and interested to try different tastes. Pay for buffet and choice is big and if something is tasty - take some more. I liked canard butter + some salads. Deserts were also tasty - i thought i will just...try each (just try) finally i finished them all. Went out of the place as a ball )))More

Great selection of tasty fresh food. Pleasant service. All you can eat for 27€, Lots of desserts. Not great for vegetarian/vegan as no dedicated options for them so 27€ might be a lot of money for little choice. Highly recommended (if you're not vegetarian).

Nice place at the old port. Great with kids as they can chose what to eat. I loved the food, especially the dessert buffet and cheese options...

If you have a big appetite this Buffet is great value for money! You can start with a great selection of salads & charcuterie, then feast on moules, frites, sardines etc. The meat & veg also looked tasty. There was also a good variety of...desserts, followed by an excellent cheeseboard. Not top notch food but for 24 Euros a veritable feast in a nice location!More

My first impression was like " hmmmm I'm not sure, the are not really welcoming" but then it turned out they were just super busy. But here it is what you get for €24 per person: eat and try as many things as you like...from starter to desert, water and coffee. Their foods taste nice, and fresh. they are continuously topping it up all the time and as soon as you've finished with your plate they'll clear it out for you. I would say it is very good value for your money.More

After wandering past a row of many restaurants and not being sure just what we wanted to eat, we stumbled across this buffet option. It was a delightful surprise. They offered a very good selection. My wife particularly appreciated the salad selections. I sampled both...meat and fish selections before hitting the good dessert selections. All was complemented by a pleasant house wine. We finished off with included coffee. Good food, great selections and at E24 each good value compared to neighboring restaurants.More

Tonight, we had dinner here in this nice buffet restaurant. We ordered a drink, paid in advance for the dinner, and from that moment on, it was all ours... we enjoyed the tasteful dishes and selections of desserts. I think this place may also be...a great spot when traveling with a group.More

The photographs on Tripadvisor are good, accurate and as far as I can see, recent. There are plenty of starters, main courses etc. The beef was a little on the gristly side but was still ok. As it says, eat as much as you like....For me and my partner, this restaurant represents good value. I agree the staff could be a little more friendly but that doesn’t affect the taste of the food. No, it is not gourmet cooking but was ideal. Lots of cheeses for desert albeit mainly Brie but still very good.More

If you want to be treated rude and barked at this is the place to go. While I sat down at the large terrace which was empty but for one table, my wife went to the toilet and was halted at the door and told...roughly that she had to pay 2 euros for the toilet. My wife told that we were sitting at the terrace and were going to have drinks. Then two waitresses came to the terrace and asked me unfriendly “what do you want?”. I ordered some drinks and the waitresses turned without saying another word. Then I asked whether there was some problem. Both started explaining very agitated to me that this was a restaurant and that I should order food, but that they would bring the drinks. Then I said: no need, I withdraw the order. The waitresses left. In the meanwhile my wife came back and said that she was treated awfully rude. Well, so was I. We left but then were literally screamed at that we could not leave and had to have drinks. We told them that this is no way to treat your customers. We walked away and were then threatened that they would send people to come after us. I strongly recommend not to go there. If you look further you will find similar experiences with other reviewers.More

We had a couple of meals at other more expensive restaurants and had been disappointed by the service and quality of the food so decided to give this all you can eat buffet a go. It was €24 a head and €10 for a half...litre carafe of wine. There was a good choice of starters, salads, mains, deserts and cheese. We like seafood and shell fish and were able to help ourselves to plates of these which would have cost more than the €24 at another restaurant. This was followed by some nice rare roast beef steaks which were far better than the tough one eaten elsewhere the night before! Some nice soft French cheese to finish and we were happy and full, and wondering why we'd bothered with more expensive places. And of course the service was great as it was self service!More

This restaurant in the old harbor facing the sea is a good choice as it is an all you can eat buffet for 24 Euros. There is a large variety of salads, main dishes, desserts and cheeses, all of which are really delicious. The number...of cheese varieties is really incredible. Their specialty, the bouillabaisse is really delicious. There is outside and indoors seating. Toilets are downstairs. Service is good.More
