La Marinade sur Collioure

22/02/2026: To get straight to the point, we enjoyed our meal and felt comfortable. We were treated politely and courteously, and we had a lovely evening. Highly recommended! However, for a truly perfect restaurant experience, we missed those certain little touches that distinguish intended professionalism from genuine first-class service. It starts with the lack of coat hooks; then there's the issue of guests' coats dragging on the floor while draped over the backs of chairs during meals. Why do guests have to refill their own wine? There are plenty of waiters; it's a gesture that should be expected in good restaurants. We ordered completely different set menus, but all of them had the exact same side dishes. That's uninspired and a real shame. It tastes good, but it gets boring, and you don't want to come back to try something different. And now for dessert: Crêpe Suzette is flambéed at the counter and then served without the flame. It's a pity you can only watch from a distance. And then there's the missing element of that typical caramelized sugar flavor, because the waiter unfortunately burns the Gran Marnier completely in the pan and then just pours the burnt alcohol over the crêpe. This means you miss out on the lovely aromas that come from the flames on the crêpe. A real shame. It's also a bit annoying that there's no slice of orange in the dessert. All minor things, but they would have made a restaurant evening perfect.
