04/04/2026: 🍔 Foodie Report — Chez Patou
Weekend in Deauville, a small beachfront restaurant with a slightly intriguing name… and in the end, a very pleasant surprise.
💸 Prices:
Yes, it's Deauville, so it's bound to be a bit pricey… but honestly, it's still reasonable for the location.
€47.90 for two burgers + two Cokes → not bad.
🍔 The burgers:
Very good overall. Bun, meat, overall balance: it does the job, and even very well.
A few minor drawbacks, though:
– Cooking not requested → steaks arrived half well-done, half still raw. We would have preferred them evenly cooked.
– Excessive use of red onions. Really too much, to the point of becoming cloying towards the end.
🤝 Service:
Overall a bit slow… but we especially remember Julien.
He's a masterclass: fast, efficient, everywhere at once, super friendly, smiling, and professional to the very end. Clearly a gem, the kind of waiter who single-handedly makes your experience unforgettable.
🌊 Atmosphere:
Beachfront setting, pleasant atmosphere, a great time is guaranteed.
⭐ Final Verdict:
A very good spot for a seaside restaurant: good burgers, nice setting, reasonable prices for Deauville. A few details could be tweaked (cooking, onion seasoning, service pace), but these are more than compensated for by the overall quality… and by Julien.
