La Source de Manon sur La Seyne-Sur-Mer

08/09/2026: If you're looking to watch yachts coming into port, or fancy yourself dining on a terrace with a constant stream of people eyeing your plate, then this isn't the place for you! Sorry, this isn't the spot for you. Don't read any further, you'll just be wasting your time! Dinner as a couple, September 1st. A small, seasonal spot I visit at least twice during its opening season (May to the end of September, weather permitting. Reservations by text message). It's been a favorite among locals who enjoy the good life (like us) for over 50 years, in a super cool, well-maintained setting right by the sea! And one of the last, if not THE last, bastions offering stuffed mussels on its menu—the REAL stuffed mussels, not the kind served in half a shell, gratinated with parsley and garlic, which many restaurants offer under the name "stuffed mussels." Here, they are served in their whole shells, allowing the pleasure of discovering their contents... Stuffed by hand (there's no machine for that!) with a family recipe based on meat. And what can I say about the octopus stew! Magnificent!! NOT bits of chewing gum in sauce like you might find in other establishments that offer it!! Good value for money, superb setting and welcome, in short, everything is top-notch!! A must-try!

19/08/2026: While on holiday with family not far from this establishment, which we discovered at lunchtime today, we enjoyed three different dishes from the menu for four people. It was a wonderful discovery: a very warm welcome, homemade cuisine using quality ingredients, generous portions, and practically right on the water. A lovely setting for this beach bar. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend it. Long live your establishment! Keep up the good work and ensure this iconic place remains so special to you.
