La Côte Vermeille Restaurant

Excellent restaurant with a lovely view. Highly recommend the degustation menu, everything was delicious and very well put together. Service very good and nice ambience overall. The price is in-line with the quality on offer. We ate very well here.

It is our favourite restaurant when we have a special event to celebrate in Port Vendres. The restaurant had to close early November due to the Covid lockdown regulations by the government but adapted rapidly with take-aways for Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. 20€ for their 2-course and 25€ for 3-course menu. You need to order in advance by phone or at their restaurant. Prices are more than reasonable considering the quality gastronomic dishes. We ordered the grilled calamars and prawns for starters, white fish with mushroom cream risotto and chocolate dessert and everyone was delighted. Our neighbours and friends shared the same opinion. The 3-course Christmas menu was at 36€ and extended to the 3rd January. It was just heavenly! I had the poached oysters on a bed of fresh fish tartar and I believe to be finely chopped cucumbers which was delicious, monkfish for main dish which I savoured and the raspberry dessert was sheer pleasure. We chose different dishes on Christmas eve and everyone was extremely pleased. I only managed to photograph a few of our dishes (not all as we helped ourselves immediately). Each dish was served in a high quality adapted for reheat in the oven or microphone and packed in nice white boxes and a box for transport despite being 200 metres from the restaurant we took the car since it was an order for 6 pax.

This restaurant is well located right on the quay in Port Vendre. The two young waiters were friendly and attentive. The choice of music was excellent and it created a warm ambiance. What let this establishment down was the over priced mediocre food. Small quantities of forgettable food. We will never go back.

Avoid. Rude service from the waitress and waiter who had lost our booking and thought it was hilarious and were sarcastic. Very slow service, no bread offered to us at all during the meal. We eat at lots of restaurants from the Michelin guide, the food was awful, over cooked and tasteless, certainly not up to the standard of the other restaurants we've been to this holiday and in the past. Very surprised this is in the Michelin guide. Two stars given as the setting is lovely however.

Reserved a table on the terrace but reception refused to accept we had done so. Sat at the counter while two tables remained empty the entire time. Also added two desserts to the bill that were included in the set menu. Staff were pleasant and helped to organise a taxi. Food was good but very unremarkable. We’ve eaten here on each trip but this will be the last time.

Superb food in a really nice environment. The staff are friendly, the menu is great value.

Great food and service!

Great food 3 course meal and a good selection of wine. Fab evening setting and great attentive staff.
