La Cote Vermeille sur Port-Vendres

August 2026, we arrived without a reservation and received a very personal welcome. We were introduced to the new menu items, including a bonito pissaladière (see photo) that you absolutely must try! The delicious Zarzuela, with its trio of fish, squid, and shrimp, all served with a rich, reduced sauce that's simply irresistible... and to finish, a baba au vieux mar de Baniuls, which is simply divine. Thank you again for this lovely experience! See you next year. August 2025 at 1:50 pm, we arrived without a reservation and were accepted! A very warm welcome, exquisite cuisine with exceptionally fresh ingredients. I highly recommend the bouillabaisse, which is absolutely delicious. Keep up the good work, and we look forward to returning on our next visit.

There are restaurants you discover... and others you immediately want to share with others. La Côte Vermeille is one of those. Here, deliciousness isn't just a whispered promise: it arrives at the table with real character. Aromas that tantalize the senses, textures that make you want to return even before you've put down your fork, dishes that know exactly how to awaken that little voice inside that says, "Come on... just one more bite." You come for lunch or dinner... and you find yourself lingering, because there are places where you simply don't want to look at the time. You savor, you share, you revel in the experience, and above all, you leave with a very clear desire to return. So if you're in Port-Vendres, don't just walk by. Push open the door, sit down, let your appetite guide you... and treat yourself. Because some places deserve to be tasted. The Côte Vermeille deserves to be experienced…

A superb experience! A very warm welcome from the entire team, a magnificent setting, and excellent cuisine. Both servers were very pleasant and professional, with a special mention for the young waiter, who was particularly friendly, attentive, and caring. We had a wonderful time; thank you to the whole team!

Recommended by Le Routard, we went to this restaurant for lunch and we weren't disappointed. We ate on the upstairs terrace with a beautiful view. The dishes were fresh and refined. The service was pleasant and the atmosphere very friendly. A great find.

Exceptional quality, freshness and excellent cuisine

A super lunch: the food and the setting were top-notch! Highly recommended.

The quality of the dishes doesn't live up to the exceptional location, the attentive, professional service, and the high prices. The fish is fresh, but the preparation is nothing special (a thin slice of tuna can only be cooked dry – no sauce can help with that).

A perfect lunch with the set menu: anchovies and arroz. Overlooking the port, the elevated terrace is very pleasant, as is the service. After a small amuse-bouche, the reimagined anchovies are a delightful discovery. Tender, well-seasoned, and accompanied by red peppers, as tradition dictates. The arroz, with its fresh fish and cockles, is generously portioned and perfectly cooked. The coffee is a nice touch, providing a pleasant, slightly sweet ending to the lunch. Excellent value for money.

A flawless experience at this restaurant with its magnificent view of the harbor. We came with friends from the SNSM (French Sea Rescue Society) and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The wild sea bass and its bourride sauce were perfectly cooked, and the dessert was superb. The service was impeccable, with a very attentive and charming manager who clearly loves his job, as well as a young man, probably new to the profession, but smiling, pleasant, and eager to do his best. We've already been back and we'll definitely return with even more pleasure 🌈

An exceptional holiday experience. One delicious treat after another. Highly recommended by culinary professionals. Even the anchovies served as appetizers wouldn't compare to the finest pastry shops 😋 We highly recommend it if you want to create lasting memories of your visit... a must-do! And the service was excellent: helpful, friendly, discreet, and professional!
