Il parasole sur Deauville

06/09/2026: Exceptional, and a true lesson in hospitality. We ate very well at Villa Leona, but what struck me most was the professionalism of the owner. Having spent my entire career in the hotel and restaurant industry, I was glued to my seat watching her work. Her calm, poise, and honesty were remarkable. I heard this phrase that sums it all up: "I can't take you, it's not for lack of space, it's for lack of staff in the kitchen and dining room." In a very touristy town like Deauville, she prefers to say no and turn away customers rather than overcrowd and poorly serve those who are already seated and have reservations. She isn't trying to take advantage of tourists; she's focused on doing her job well to avoid complaints and bad reviews. Hats off to her. This level of professionalism and respect for the customer is something that no longer exists in Paris, where they cram people in without a second thought. Thank you for this wonderful experience. An address to recommend without hesitation.

06/09/2026: A beautiful, tastefully decorated restaurant, calming and pleasant. The manager and staff are very kind, respectful, and welcoming. The atmosphere is family-friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals: the tuna carpaccio as a main course was delicious and a generous portion. The salmon steak with its accompaniments (sautéed potatoes) was also very good. We highly recommend this restaurant, which is also very well located!
