Situated in the heart of the village Argèles sur Mer, La Bartavelle serves Mediterranean-inspired cuisine mixing Catalan gastronomy and creativity, never compromising product quality. Thibaut Lesage, the Chef, plays his part in the kitchen, while Stéphani

Well, where do I start!I cannot compete or do not want to even try to describe in detail what we ate as I would be doing Stephanie ( the co owner)and the food a disservice. Her enthusiasm for what they offer is super and the food justifies it.So, what did we have. Well, for a starter my wife had the âCinquante nuances de vertâ which simply put was a âparsleyâ extravaganza and which my wife simply said was âincredibleâ. For me, it was the âPas dâanti seicheâ which was basically delicately cooked octopus with a pea dressing etc. It was superb.For mains, we plumped for what we thought was âPoisson du jourâ which was tuna cooked to perfection.The â Artyâ dessert for my wife took another quirky turn in that it was basically an artichoke based ice cream while I went for the âboringâ option i.e. the cheese. Both options were eaten with great pleasure. A decent Caramany helped things along nicely as well.All I can say is if you are in the area, this restaurant is a âdefiniteâ must do. It is one we will return to again and again.

As per mguven's review of 11/11/14, this is like no other restaurant you've been to. You really do have to sit back and go with the flow. Sounds a bit odd, and it was, but the most important thing is that the food and wine were terrific. The dog is a character - he loves cheese!Thank you Keith

Staying near Argeles on holiday, decided to have a break from eating in so consulted Trip Advisor and chose L'Amuse Bouche. We were not disappointed. Small and perfectly formed, a menu to get the taste buds working and very friendly service. The food was not a disappointment and we had a great evening. Thoroughly recommended.

We have been coming to Saint Cyprien for a number of years but we were never really enthused to make a formal post based on an evening eating out but our meal at MPP (bar a'huitre) is/was the exception...the location of this little gem is slightly off the "main" port area whilst still overlooking the port. The meal which consisted of two fish platters simply stated were excellent and the potato & garnish complemented the dish.....it is clear that the owners/chef take pride in their work and this clearly shows on the plate....

A gem of a find, definitely a place we will be coming back too. The food was fresh and delicious, simply prepared with fresh ingredients combined effectively to make mouthwatering dishes. The evening we went, the restaurant was full and the atmosphere amongst everyone was great. The staff are friendly and efficient, and you really are made to feel very welcome in a homely way.

This little restaurant in St. Andre is a little gem in a region that does not have very good restaurants outside Perpignan. Too many restaurants where industrial food is warmed up and served at really high prices. This one though is different. The food is well prepared and both simple and inventive at the same time. Perfectly cooked fresh fish locally caught (the coast is near) , fine chicken and beef, (not the type you find at the supermarket), vegetables al dente etc. the service is unobtrusive and prompt. In the kitchen a chef (female) that exercises a perfectly mastered cuisine, obviously a schooled chef. I have eaten there a Friday night together with four other friends. All enjoyed their meal, the creme catalane with caramelized artichauts was very good like the rest of the food. Wine list with local wines. I look forward to the warm weather when one can eat in the lovely little garden..

We are staying in Argeles-Sur-Mer and wanted a nice evening out for dinner, something traditional and found this gem on trip-advisor and thought weâd give it a go.As previous reviews said, from the exterior we wasnât sure and went inside and met by a pleasant French lady who couldnât speak English but we managed.As soon as we sat down, a group of around 20 people followed us in (All French) which must of meant a good thing.There is plenty of choices on the menu, including a set menu, and another waitress who spoke little English helped us through. The decision was made and food decided.Starter- we all had a variety of salad which would deifebtly be the size of a main but was perfectMains - we all had a variety of mains but the speciality was a veg/potato thing which came with the food. Amazing, out of this worldDessert- all amazing choicesThe restaurant has lots of free parking and at the end of dinner the chef even comes out to say hello! If you are in the area itâs a must and if Iâm ever in the area again I will return.Not to be missed

I ate here last week and I paid the bill for all 4 guests as repayment of a favour so I was very much hoping for a good experience - and I was not disappointed.The village of Palau del Vidre is OK, but the old school building has been sympathetically restored and the old garden turned into an extension where we eat on this occasion.On a Friday night this large room was full of mainly couples.The young mainly female staff were friendly, efficient but not intrusive.Now the main event the food was good, and fair sized portions. Scallops were well cooked and interestingly presented. The octopus was an excellent dish.The deserts were equally enjoyed. The local reds have an excellent reputation, but we had white white and it was a revelation as it was so good. Will look it out, clearly they understand wine too.So whether to go or not. Yes on balance a really rounded experience. Not cheap but I'd rather save up and come here than get an ordinary meal for not that much less elsewhere. Really a well deserved 4.5*Merci beaucoup

We had an absolutely gorgeous meal here. Our table was on the terrace with a fantastic view of the ramparts, the mountains and out to the coast. The food was great value and delicious. The service was attentive and they spoke English when our French faltered.Absolutely stunning evening, highly recommended We thank you, it has been a real pleasure to serve you
