Coquillages and Crustaces



On Sunday we visited a restaurant that we had passed many times and had wondered about.

The Coquillages & Crustaces is on the right as you exit the Parking Du Port, in St Tropez, towards St Maxime.

It is tucked away behind their area where they have large water tanks where one can by living lobsters and crabs.

We were stunned to find a beautiful planked terrace overlooking the bay with a view of the port and of St Maxime.

They offer a large variety of fish and seafood but no meat. We were tempted by the big Spider Crabs but in the end went for fish.

We both started with Moules Farcis and then shared a plaice. This fish was presented to us before cooking and we were surprised at its size at 1.2 KG!!

It was served boned onto our plates and was accompanied by a rice rissoto and mixed vegetables. To put over the fish we were supplied with almonds in a sauce.

The meal was terrific and the service both very pleasant and efficient. The view was indeed amazing!

Would recommend to anyone who isn't on a budget.
