28/01/2025: **Review of Le Bar au Bobar**
Le Bar au Bobar is an absolute gem in Sète, located just steps away from the fish market and nestled along the canal near La Criée. The restaurant’s charming terrace offers a peaceful and picturesque spot to enjoy some of the finest seafood in the area, away from the hustle and bustle. The setting is perfect, with views of fishing boats and tuna vessels, creating a lovely atmosphere by the water.
The menu is packed with local specialties that are not to be missed, like the squid stew, octopus bourride, and tielle sétoise, all prepared with care. The seafood is fresh, flavourful, and authentically Sètois. Every dish is homemade, with the attention to detail you’d expect from a place that takes its culinary heritage seriously.
What really sets Le Bar au Bobar apart, though, is the service. The waiters are incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall warm and inviting atmosphere. They’re knowledgeable about the menu and always have a smile, making you feel at home right away. And the owner? He's a true local legend, having been at the helm for years! His presence adds to the charm of the place.
The restaurant’s name, **Bobar**, is a playful nod to the idea of a "porky pie" or a tall tale, but there's nothing fake about the fantastic food, service, or ambiance here. Le Bar au Bobar is the real deal, and a must-visit if you’re in Sète.
