Le Migon — Restaurant in Draguignan

We were recommended this place by a local that was dining at another restaurant in Saint Tropez. So we expected it to be great. However it wasn’t. I ordered steak and my wife seafood platter. Hers was okay which is why they get a 2 star. I ordered filet de boeuf, which is beef tenderloin. They ask how do I like it, I say I would like my steak medium well, they asked if I was sure I didn’t want it medium. Yes I’m sure, I ordered how I prefer my steak. I receive it, charred or black on the outside and totally raw on the inside. I send it back. Mistakes do happen. It comes back, but it’s not my steak or even the same cut. They come with a totally different steak and not the tenderloin. This time it’s maybe medium but I’m hungry and my wife is half way through her meal so I decide to eat it. This was a mistake, one of the worst steaks I’ve ever had. I asked my wife to try it and she did not like it either. Before making this review I decided to wait a week or so, just to make sure I don’t write too bad a review. But then still on vacation we go to a another restaurant, this time in Cannes. It was New York New York, I end up ordering a pasta and a steak as the side. It was fantastic. Also a tenderloin but what a difference. Getting a fantastic steak several days later emphasized how bad the steak here at Le Midon was. But to finish on a more positive note. The service was good but I still would not recommend this...

Food is pretty decent, though it depends on the dish. Fried oysters were tasty, lobster linguine were forgettable. Everything is expensive. Setting is nice, on a fairly quiet beach, though it's not what's lacking in the region.

Service however was terrible. We had a reservation. First they offer to seat us in a corner near the entrance. Had to insist to be on the beach. Then it was horribly slow. No menu or water on the table after 20 min, close to 2h to get the main dishes (mind you we reached around 1+, not even early). Not even an apology from the staff. After we complained, we were offered complimentary glasses of limoncello. Watered down like hell, worst I've ever had. On a 300+ euro bill for 5, that felt like adding insult to injury.

4.1 star on Google pretty much tells you what you need to know about the place. It's not the worst but you have lots of better options around. I probably wouldn't be so harsh if they knew how to treat...

A masterclass in how not to run a restaurant

If you’re ever in the mood to be completely ignored while questioning your very existence, Restaurant Migon is the place for you. From the moment we walked in, the staff seemed to have made a collective, unspoken decision: pretend we were invisible. No greeting, no menus, no water—just pure, uninterrupted neglect served on a silver platter of apathy.

It’s almost impressive how unified their effort was to do absolutely nothing. Not even a disinterested glance. One might assume we had wandered in during a staff-only séance.

After a considerable stretch of awkward loitering in what I can only describe as a waiting-room-for-the-forgotten, we left. Unsurprised. Underserved. Unapologetically unimpressed.

In short: if Migon aspires to be a ghost town with chairs, congratulations. Mission...
