Restaurant A Tribord - Lattes

The Mojito delicious. Great and tasting food. The service efficient and very friendly. The ambient cozy. Nice view. The price completely reasonable. I hardly recommend.

After two weeks on the Canal Du Midi we had a celebratory lunch in A Tribord. The location was relaxing next to the marina so we selected the pink tented restaurant and started with a local rose'. Two high flying ducks landed on the plate...followed by two grass feed beasts and this was lunch at its best for four. The service was quick and friendly as the restaurant began to fill and we declined desert as we were well fed and satisfied. A Tribord is a popular place for the locals and we would recommend it for customers of Locaboat as their base is next door. It would be a perfect place to begin your voyage or a lovely place like it was for us on completion of an excellent canal experience.

The first thing to be said about this restaurant is that it is VERY difficult to find, even with a GPS. It is in an enclosed marina: one must park outside the marina compound and walk in. We took minutes to find it: tip.. park when your GPS says that you are metres away and ask a local for directions. The location is delightful. The marina is modern and surrounded by apartments: it is traffic-free and we had a lovely walk after lunch. That's it, really. The food is perfectly adequate and reasonably priced. The service was polite and efficient (despite our being English). The local wine in carafe is excellent value. If you can find it without the hassle, it is an OK experience.

Today we had the experience of dining at A Tribord overlooking the marina at Lattes, outside Montpellier. Fabulous location and an interesting menu. We have eaten in many places of varying styles on our travels. At this place we met a waitress who seemed to...lack all ability at communication if you were not an obvious friend or local. She quickly established that we spoke English we made some jokes about it and as they advertise that they also communicate in that language we hoped we would be OK. Others were seated around us, their orders taken and meals served before we could even order. We needed to ask for both bread and water before our meals were served. The food itself was very well presented and very tasty. However the whole experience was soured by the manner in which we were ignored. After a wonderful experience at another restaurant nearby the previous night this was probably the worst service experience we have suffered in the numerous times we have visited France.

Un lundi 14 août à port ariane pas facile de dîner... un peu tristounet pour l été. Heureusement ce restaurant est une bonne surprise. Menu bon marché et très bon. Accueil sympathique et bonne ambiance en terrasse.
