Le Pêcheur — Restaurant in Béziers

We are frequent visitors to Cap d'Agde and had eaten here before. Remembering the food to be great, we booked a table at lunchtime for my husband's birthday - 2 adults, 2 kids. The food was just as we remembered it - fresh, authentic, generous portions, and delicious but unfortunately the experience was ruined by the waitress. She made no eye contact other than to look us up and down. She threw one menu at us and stood there whilst my husband ordered, snapping impatiently whilst we discussed our choices. When we saw the sign that said they don't accept cards we enquired as to the location of the nearest ATM. She waved her arm unhelpfully and rudely told my husband he had better go now then. Whilst he was gone (3 minutes maximum) she brought our starters. Again, she practically threw them on the table. When the children's food arrived it was again dumped on the table without a word. My son politely asked her for ketchup - she spun around as though he was an inconvenience, walked off before he had finished speaking and returned to dump the ketchup on the table, again without speaking.

Needless to say, we...

It would have been nice to sit outside but I was told all the tables were booked. We sat inside, right in direct view of the staff, but were completely ignored for the next 15 minutes. No menus, no contact. Wondering what we had done wrong?

When I realised the restaurant does not take credit cards, we left.

We went to the restaurant directly opposite, which gave us a very warm welcome. From there, we could also see that none of the tables which were apparently booked were taken, through the whole duration of our meal.

I had been looking forward to eating at Le Pecheur for 6 years, since my last visit to the area in 2018. Quite a let down! The food might have been wonderful, I’ll never know. Even so, a great restaurant experience doesn’t include appalling and completely...
