FREDRIKSON GAEL

Loved the beach here and loungers were lovely! The food I ordered was fries, Caesar salad and chicken strips. The Caesar salad dressing was awful, maybe it’s a French thing? Not sure. I loved the seeds and grains in the chicken strip breading and the sweet chili sauce to dip it. Service wasn’t very attentive but the guys looked busy so I feel they were understaffed. I had to chase them down for a food menu then It took 2 hours to order my food as they never came back. Food was fast but I didn’t actual order the chicken strips, it was a misunderstanding but they were tasty so I didn’t mind paying for them. Loved the water here and I had a comfy afternoon and stayed until 6

And just like that you are forbidden to go swim. You can eat at the restaurant but you cannot eat and swim. Whoever sets this rule is missing something, smart for short term business but not for repetitive business. Eventually the spenders (us) will not come back and make sure the word is out there. There is not a single restaurant on the beach anywhere else in the world where a rule like this would stand. A disappoinment when you have such an amazing location and amazing chef. The good was amazing, the experience was a painful. Unfortunate.

While the views of the beach are quite spectacular, the food and service were mediocre at best if at all. Most of the time it felt like we were being ignored or forgotten by the staff as they walked back and forth while giving minimum service. While I ordered a good chicken dish, which I do recommend, DON'T ORDER STEAK HERE!!! My father described it as the bottom of a boot. It was dry, rubbery and burnt, we could taste the chalk. For a 30€ steak you could expect much more. On a more positive note, the cocktails were good. Overall I think you could find a much better place to dine for the price!

Only nice things to say about this place! Even though I was a singleton, they gave me a lovely table right at the open windows on the water, for dinner. I had a yummy truffle pasta & the service was timely. As the stunning sun was setting I wanted to sit below on the beach & the super nice waiter brought my ice bucket & bottle down. Would definitely recommend!

Let me start by saying. I do feel for the owners a little. You can't control everything all the time. That being said. On the evening we dined here there must have been chef issues! I'll only review what I had rather than the whole group but the group (4 of us) all were disappointed. So. Arrived and there weren't many diners there, on expectations of having an attentive service due to the lack of patrons we were let down almost from the start. We had to wave to get attention and to order drinks. Food, I ordered caesar salad with prawns. Now I don't really like tomato or cucumber which is why I ordered the caesar! So when I got my salad I only ate half as most of it was tomato and cucumber. There's of it tasted ok. The main: fillet of beef with fries and salad! Now I like and asked for mine blue. It was medium to well done and was the worst cut of steak in history, the fries tasted candy looked like they were re heated left overs from lynch time, the mushroom sauce was tasteless. May I just add, 2 other people had steaks and they were worse! My wife knows when I'm not happy and I very nearly complained but in fear of embarrassing my wife and friends I decided not to complain. When we got near to the end of the evening there was a guy complaining which ended up in a very heated conversation directly behind us. Now I'm going to assume it was just a bad day for the restaurant for one reason or another but sadly due to the very poorly executed cooking of our food we won't be going back. Just one more point re food. The fish mixed grill was tiny dry portions of fish and was mostly inedible. Le crystal does offer beach beds in the day at around €30 per day. This fee does not include at towel like other places along the beach front. A positive to end on. The friendliness of the staff did improve and the drinks were OK, the owner did give us a free shot at the end to apologise for the guy kicking off.

We were here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. It’s nice spot right in front of the beach. It’s facing west but umbrellas available to shade the sun if you wish. We shared a bottle of rosé and hummus to start and the calamari dish and grilled sea bass (loup) for lunch. They were both fresh and plentiful and tasted great. It was a really nice way to spend a long Sunday afternoon.

Honestly it’s a real shame about the service because the views are just amazing and the food is quite good. Service was super slow even though the restaurant was not busy at all. Staff was just talking to each other the whole time and not paying attention to guests.

A very pleasant experience! The waiters were extremely helpful and courteous, always attentive to our needs. The location is beautiful, perfect for enjoying a meal in a relaxing atmosphere. The food was tasty and well presented. Highly recommended!
