18/08/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful experience at Mermoz, a place I highly recommend!
From the moment we arrived, we received a very warm welcome. Despite a slight wait, we were notified and seated as quickly as possible.
The restaurant is clean, elegant, and well-maintained, yet still welcoming: you immediately feel at ease. The setting with its sea view is very pleasant, and the different areas allow you to enjoy the space even when the weather isn't ideal. I also appreciated the spacing between the tables: you don't feel crowded.
A small touch that I particularly appreciated: water is brought directly with the menus. It may seem trivial, but when you arrive thirsty or someone needs to take medication, it's truly appreciated.
On the culinary front, the oysters were excellent 🦪: very fresh, a good size, with a pleasant texture and a lovely accompaniment of shallots and vinegar.
I then chose the salmon with rice and broccoli. It's a dish I cook regularly and I'm quite particular about it: I was very satisfied. Good quality ingredients, lots of flavor, and just the right portion. Serving the sauce separately was also a great idea, allowing everyone to add as much as they like and combine it with their own.
There were several of us, and everyone was very happy: almost all the plates were emptied! The beef tartare was a big hit, as were the lightly spiced calamari. Even the sauerkraut, which I'm not usually a big fan of, was very well done.
A special mention goes to our server, Noël, who contributed enormously to this wonderful experience. He was very respectful, helpful, attentive, and above all, offered excellent advice. He specifically warned us that the mussels were small that day, which we greatly appreciated: his honesty allowed us to choose something else rather than risk being disappointed. He was always available whenever we had a question or request. A level of service that's become quite rare these days.
A member of our family also needed a takeaway at the last minute, and the team managed to prepare it for us. Thank you!
If there's one area for improvement, it would be the non-alcoholic cocktail menu. The offerings seemed rather basic, mainly based on juices and syrups. I would have liked to see more elaborate and creative mocktails, with fresh fruit, citrus, aromatic herbs, or more original combinations. 🍹
Finally, the value for money is very good considering the quality of the products, the service, the ambiance, and the location. The menu also offers different price points, making it suitable for a range of budgets.
I had already visited Le Mermoz as a child and had fond memories of it. Several years later, with more experience in different restaurants and a more discerning palate, I left once again very satisfied.
Thank you to the entire team, and a special mention to Noël for the outstanding quality of his service. A place I highly recommend in Villers-sur-Mer!
