sous les lampions sur La Ciotat

Excellent swordfish dish with vegetables, the fish and vegetables were succulent. Thank you to the chef!

I hadn't been back to Sous les Lampions with my friends since the change of ownership and I had a great evening where the welcome, the service and the food were very satisfactory.

Excellent restaurant in La Ciotat! A real gem! Delicious cuisine, fresh and expertly prepared ingredients. Warm welcome and top-notch service. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal from start to finish. I highly recommend it!

A truly timeless experience, comfortably seated in exceptionally comfortable armchairs! Everything was delicious, but a special mention goes to the chuck roast: a veritable work of art, as beautiful as it was tasty, accompanied by crisp and flavorful sautéed vegetables. The balance of flavors was perfect with the excellent wines on the menu. It's the ideal centerpiece for a meal in this warm and inviting setting. Impeccable service; I will gladly return.

After a short stroll around the harbor, what could be better than a good restaurant? And we were certainly well served, starting with a very warm welcome. For starters, crispy and not too greasy paninis, and for the main course, my wife had braised beef chuck and I had octopus stew, and it was truly excellent, simmered with lovely vegetables and a small side of risotto pasta and red rice (just a tad too salty), but really, it was a very good meal for a reasonable price.

Seaside restaurants, in harbors... we're used to disappointments, to tourist traps. We were at the harbor that Saturday evening; one of us wanted mussels, the other was undecided. This restaurant is lost in a sea of ​​signs and doesn't stand out visually. But... if you appreciate restaurateurs who make an effort, then it deserves a visit. That evening, they were out of prawn salad and aioli. Don't complain! It's a good sign. A sign that they don't just pull them out of the freezer on demand. Is the sea bream tartare just a starter? Ask to add the pan-fried medley of fresh, seasonal vegetables, cooked just until crisp, and the homemade fries, and you'll be delighted by this masterful simplicity, this generous freshness. Desserts... the waiter offered me three options not listed on the menu: yogurt ice cream with salted caramel crumble, apple crumble with salted caramel, and a reimagined Snickers. I tried the last one. Absolutely divine. Not too sweet, the cloying sweetness of a typical Snickers completely replaced by a light mousse and a thin, crisp chocolate layer. You should showcase your specialties on a chalkboard outside your restaurant; draw attention to what makes you unique. Add to that the attentive and delightful service. Honestly, thank you, and keep up the good work. Consider highlighting your dishes in the window.

Excellent aioli at an unbeatable price...
