La Banane sur Palavas-Les-Flots

The tuna tataki and croque-monsieur were excellent. The owner is very welcoming. The staff is attentive. I highly recommend it!

Entering this restaurant is like starting a journey. A warm atmosphere welcomes you, filled with the delicate aromas of freshly cooked dishes and genuine smiles. You are attentively guided to your table, without ever feeling rushed. The service is seamless, natural, almost intimate: present when needed, discreet the rest of the time. Each dish arrives like a promise fulfilled, elegantly presented, made with fresh ingredients, and perfectly balanced, sometimes daring, but always comforting flavors. Passion is evident in every detail, from the meticulous presentation to the enthusiastic explanations. Conversations mingle gently with the clinking of glasses, subtle music accompanies the moment, and time seems to slow down. You savor the ambiance as much as the food, with that rare feeling of being exactly where you're meant to be. You leave with a light heart, a smile on your face, and only one thought in mind: to return, to relive this suspended moment where simplicity meets excellence.

LA BANANE: It's good, tasty, and generous – the view of the sea from the bay window terrace is magnificent – ​​the owner is welcoming – the service is attentive – Richard THELENE

I came with my wife, and we had a very good meal. I highly recommend this restaurant. Furthermore, the service was excellent, the staff were incredibly friendly, and the welcome was warm.

A very warm welcome, and the quality of the products was excellent. A true culinary delight, with plenty of humor and friendliness. We will be back very soon with great pleasure.

An exceptional moment... A fantastic menu. And a superb, cozy atmosphere.

The restaurant's location, the view, the welcome, and the friendliness of all the servers are well above average. Kudos to them for that, as it's not always the norm in the restaurant industry. However, the food itself is a disappointment. The prices (€20-25 for a starter, €34-39 for a main course, around €14 for dessert, totaling €70 per person without drinks) are completely out of line with the quality of the dishes. The cuisine is simple, bistro-style, but at Michelin-starred prices. The wait (Tuesday, November 11th) of over an hour and fifteen minutes between the starter and the main course also warranted at least an explanation. It's a shame because the rest of the experience was enjoyable.

The setting of this restaurant is perfect, but unfortunately, it doesn't have much else going for it. There's a lack of transparency regarding the origin and prices of the wines by the glass. The same goes for the price of the tap water. For a restaurant specializing in fish, it's a shame the cod wasn't properly desalted. As for the meat, while the beef Rossini was good, it deserved better than a small bowl of sadly lukewarm mashed potatoes as a side dish, especially for a €44 meal.

Top-notch address! We received a warm welcome, the staff were friendly and attentive, and Chef Laure's Mediterranean cuisine was delicious. Special mention for the exceptional fish and the superb sea view.

A truly wonderful place, a warm welcome and above all… exceptional fish. Fantastic!
