La Tete d'Ail - La Ciotat

Charming restaurant with super service and a delicious menu. Smoked mussels were amazing, and my Wife's salmon delicious. The house wine was fine, and the final Williamine granite was wonderful. Highly recommended.

Very good food especially the Entrecôte sauce aux cèpes is excellent Very friendly staff Would definitely go back

If you're in the area definitely look for this place. It's easy to miss because it's in a sea of outdoor restaurants but it's not the average anything. If you're tired of moules frites try the mussels here: they are served in a pan with charred pine needles, weird but delicious. They give you a bottle of infused olive oil that's the essence of Provence-fragrant and flavorful. The fish is stuffed with vegetables but you never have the sense that what you're eating is good for you because it tastes sinful! I think the place is family-run because the dad chatted up the customers and they all worked together like they had skin in the game. It's a friendly atmosphere in a beautiful place with delicious food and it needs to be on your list of places to eat in the south of France.

The fish meal I had this evening is one of the best ever. Full of different flavours, so tasteful. Service was very polite and efficient and all to a decent price. Highly recommended.

The restaurant is situated on the sea front with friendly atmosphere and delicious food. The personal is ready to help you to choose the amazing wine, advice the best risotto and to let you spend your time with a dog) this restaurant is highly recommended It should be noted that the reservation is obligatory.

Food and service was excellent. Cuttlefish stuffed with sausage meat was unusual and very nicely done.

This lunch has been an excellent experience. Excellent food, excellent wine and excellent service. I strongly recommend the smoked mussels "(moules à l'esclade)" either as an appetizer or as a main course and the fish of the day (usually cooked "à la barigoule" - which is a preparation with artichoke and is amazing).

Read the reviews and intrigued by the mussels. Very helpful staff - the first time we tried they were full so booked for the following night. They made sure we had a good table. They coped with various allergy issues, such as a son who is allergic to fish. The mussels were really superb and put the moules frites joints round the corner to shame. The only slight reservation was that the fish soup had a lot of salmon in it. Perhaps not an issue for some but we live in Scotland.
