Restaurant de la Cale

Beautiful evening to eat outside and friendly waiters. the tapas selection (all five), however, was mostly disappointing, especially for a restaurant that is allegedly specialized in fish. seemingly bought-in standard battery calamari and another fish. not the freshly prepared fish we expected. the garnels are in order, and whitebait, but hard to go wrong. also were surprised that we could not sit and order a drink beforehand, as we arrived before our 7.30 booking.

The entrées were good, but the fish soup «Maison » tasted more like a mushroom soup. Although « maison « was announced on the menu, when I said that I was disappointed, I was told that it was the local fish merchant who had made it (also more surprising that it did not taste like fish!) the Aïoli fish dish was fresh, but the accompanying vegland was a bit. will not go back to a hurry. hung

We had a nice lunch on the terrace. the plate that on this day moules frites whic we both enjoyed. the fries were crisp and the mountain of the moule full taste. the escapes were both excellent, their the suppe de poisson mine the tabule avec...moules our meal came with a glass wein, great worth on 15.50 euro. service was pleasant and efficient. great value.

We went as a group of 6 to this restaurant as 2 of our party are living close to Villeneuf-sur-Lot and recommended the restaurant. The restaurant is relatively new having opened maybe 12 months ago which may explain the lack of reviews. We all had...very good seafood dishes including a pasta seafood, sea bass, sole and monkfish. All were good although the prune chutney was not great that came with the monkfish. Excellent desserts and a reasonable bill at around 40 Euros each including wine.

You would never expect the bar and restaurant décor was so well done form the outside of this place. We arrived on a Monday public holiday and the only disappointment that the lunch menu didn't apply. Apart from that the food and service was top...notch. Really enjoyed the oysters and the sole. My kids' Magret of duck was a tad rare but great taste and tender too. Recommended!
