Don Peppe — Restaurant in Draguignan

Disappointment across the board – except for the pizza.

The negative experience began with the phone reservation: the staff member came across as arrogant and uninterested – a first impression that unfortunately proved accurate upon arrival. The service was simply unacceptable: inattentive, disinterested, and completely lacking in hospitality.

The only redeeming factor: the pizza was truly excellent – flavorful and well-made. But that's where the praise ends.

The pasta and gnocchi, on the other hand, were a joke: overcooked, bland, and absolutely not worth the €22 price tag. A culinary disappointment, to say the least.

Even the location, which could have been charming by the canal, is ruined by cheap, wobbly plastic chairs and harsh, cold lighting. There's no atmosphere – just the sterile vibe of a canteen.

Bottom line: Order the pizza for delivery, if you must. But dine in? Absolutely not. If you value good service, a pleasant atmosphere, and consistently quality food, this is definitely the wrong...

We were a group of 4 adults and 5 children visiting Port Grimaud and hoped to have dinner at this restaurant. We were fully aware that finding a table for a large group could be challenging, especially without a reservation. However, what followed was simply unacceptable. We waited patiently outside for 20 minutes, without anyone acknowledging us. Several waiters walked past us multiple times without offering any information or greeting. Eventually, someone finally came out only to tell us bluntly that the restaurant was full. We accepted the situation and started to walk away. But just moments later, we saw the group behind us who had also not booked a table being welcomed in and seated. The only difference? They were French. We were tourists. This experience left us feeling ignored, unwelcome, and frankly, discriminated against.

A real shame we had heard the food...

While the food at this restaurant was pleasant, the service was nothing short of disgraceful. From the moment we were seated, certain older waiters greeted us with cold, judgmental stares. After ordering several antipasti accompanied by wines and beers — amounting to well over €200 — we were openly reprimanded and humiliated simply because we did not order a “main course.”

The situation became even more insulting when we wished to order desserts, only to be told we were not allowed to unless we first ordered main courses.

Such behavior is unprofessional, unwelcoming, and entirely unacceptable. What should have been an enjoyable evening was turned into an uncomfortable and embarrassing spectacle.

A restaurant that insults its paying customers in this way does not deserve a second chance. I will...
