L'Esquinade Plage — Restaurant in Draguignan

I first came to L'Esquinade as boy with my Grandfather in the 70s & 80s as it was his favourite beach and restaurant along Pamplonne. I remember him being friends with Roger and Edna and they would often say hello when we were there.

Restaurant: Food was superb, huge variety of mussels cooked in different soups and the service was very friendly and prompt (well done Sacha!). Bit of a wait for a different staff member with the card machine. But, still overall a great experience.

Beach: Jonathan looked after us well and the beach has a nice, non-pretentious atmosphere compared to the other beaches nearby. Slight disappointment in that one of the beach waiters forgot my son's ice cream and then disappeared but, he did pop by later to apologise.

Overall, still very good and will definitely return! Great job...

Excellent cooking, refined menues, great wines, very friendly service and dreamy ambience: you will definitely forget time.

I have been there regularly since 2003 and I can highly recommend testing.

But take precaution: My car got hit by burglars in 2005. They stole 2 (heavily melted) Snickers-Bars from the glove-department. That was the cheap part and the irony of fate. But the damage to the car was around 4000 EUR, because due to the lack of time, opening the car was brutally exercised. The car's alarm-system did warn me, but it took a bit of a run from the table on the terrace (ocean-view) to the car, which was long enough for them to act.

Bottom-line: don't leave any valuables in your car and leave glove...

Restaurant qui m’a été conseillé par ma sœur, venue il y a quelques années, ainsi que tout récemment par des personnes rencontrées lors de notre séjour.

Les + :

Proximité de la plage, déco sympa, prix en deçà des autres restaurants voisins;

Les - :

Peu de choix au menu et le prix.

4 personnes pour :

5 nuggets + frites; une pizza 2 assiettes de pâte 3 bières, une bouteille d’eau plate

Nuggets on ne peut plus basique.

Pizza jambon de parme (portant le nom du resto) pas la pire mangée en France mais manque de jambon. Pour le prix, on s’attends à avoir quelque chose de plus généreux, surtout quand on connaît le coût réel d’une pizza.

Pâtes ok mais…( voir prix de la note)

Soft à 5 euros! Et bouteille d’eau plate à… 8 euro.

Prix de la note :

91 euro. Plage de Pampelonne ou pas, le rapport qualité prix n’y est pas. Facilement 30-35% au-dessus.

Tarif appliqué en rapport à la localisation, mais la terrasse et les extérieurs en-deçà de ce que nous avons déjà fréquenté en bordure de Méditerranée.

Bref, à un tarif moindre nous serions peut être revenu, lors d’une journée plage par exemple. Mais en aucun cas, comme nous l’avons fait, pour venir uniquement se...
