Le Calamar is located on the bank of the river Herault, just before it runs into the sea.There are some good outside tables where the view can be appreciated as well as a pleasant interior restaurant. The menu is written on blackboards and obviously inclined towards seafood. Clearly the dishes offered depend upon what is available locally that day. However I found the menu adequately broad enough to cover most tastes. I had moules mariniere followed by veal kidney. I thought the moules could have done with a touch of wine in the cooking, they seemed to me to be steamed in water rather than wine, and there was little onion and garlic. However the moules themselves were good and meaty and I enjoyed them. The kidney was cooked rose as requested and came with a nice selection of fresh vegetables. Others at the table had poussin salad and oysters as a starter, and steak as a main course. There were no complaints and everybody enjoyed a jolly Sunday lunch.
Le Patron grew on one as he got less stressed as a full Sunday lunch crowd were satisfactorily fed and watered!

I have also eaten here a number of times since it first opened. The restaurant is superb and the views from the terraces fabulous - nice to see it getting a mention here, although we don't want too many people to visit!
