La Yole de Chris

"This dazzling place by Christopher Coutanceau offers two incomparable pleasures: for the eyes and for the taste buds. A long counter in the shape of a skiff (light, long and narrow boat), houses the open kitchen, where the cooks can be seen in action. Seafood (oysters and shellfish) and fish of the day enjoy pride of place on the menu here... to be enjoyed on the terrace that overlooks the sea, in fine weather. Booking recommended." - Michelin Inspector

The service was bad. It was below mediocre for the price point. No one smiled and greeted us and they all seem hostile. Specially this female server with a short bob above shoulders, she was rude and sarcastic when we asked questions about the dishes. It made our dining experience not as great as it should have been. Fortunately, the food is amazing and so is the view. The ray fin and octopus were both delicious. Outdoor seating was great too. The dessert was better than average.

Just finished lunch with my father. Ceviche is great without the mayonnaise sauce. Fried fish is very dry and taste less. The cooked veggies and risotto are too creative i think. You cannot really get the taste of the dish. Too much ingredients inside. Pork was good. Overall great location with nice view, but food is disappointing. And slow service.

I would not recommend this place to anyone. When a place cannot own up to their mistakes, that says it all. I ordered a dish and told the waiter that I’m allergic to nuts and he assures me that no nuts would be in my food. When the food arrivies I see that there are nuts in it and send it back. They come out again and this time it has pesto on it (aka pine nuts) so I have to send it back again, at this point feeling very weary about the whole thing. But the waiter assures me again that it will not have nuts in it the next time. Then when I’m supposed to pay I tell the waiter I want to be compensated - I can see him talking to the manager and when he gives me the bill I don’t feel like the compensation is good enough and ask to speak to the manager. Then the waiter tells me the waiter is “too busy” helping customers. Excuse me, so I am not a customer?! Also, the manager stands 3 meters from me looking into his phone. If this was my restaurant I would fire that joke of a manager asap. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Great restaurant and friendly service, on certain aspects a bit expensive. But, you know that beforehand and it is indeed more classy

Nice scenic restaurant... Great interior and service, great cuisine. Did enjoy a lunch and everything was perfect, from aperitif to dessert. Fresh fish available and great portions. Will certainly come back.

Lucky to enjoy a sunny November lunch at the terrace of the Yole. Attentive service and excellent dishes. Generous serving for the seafood (not in picture). Pluma Iberique and Lieu Jaune were divine.

Perfect combination between relaxed seafood joint and marine elegance. Ocean-side setting, comfortable chairs, thin-rimmed wine glasses. Truly fantastic service with enough personal touch and enough “alone time”. Had oysters that was perfectly set on ice, mussels in a creamy curry sauce. Homemade cocktails also a win! With a colorful and exciting menu I will be back to explore!

Just saying - all out of mussels on a tuesday at 5:30? server suggested whelks as a sub. They were served cold ona tray of ice, like oysters, and aren't really a high end treat as far as food prep goes.... Sure, they're weird, but that doesn't mean fancy or savory in a delectable way.
