We have been coming to Mario Plage every year for the past three years; we loved this place so much that we started telling our social circles about it; our family spent at least two weeks every year in Saint-Maxime and Mario Plage was our only go to beach and food restaurant; every year we spent at least 15k Euro in both restaurant and beach beds at Mario Plage; only because we loved the staff, the service and the location convenience.

So much for the customer alway...
Read moreWhat can I say. Table was dirty, and when we asked waiter to clean it up, clearly the face was unhappy. Hey it’s not my fault you sit us on dirty table. Also we had to wave for waiter to notice us so he could take order after we were seated, and he was like”yeah yeah I’m coming”. Anyways the food, the complementary tapenade and biscuits were store bought. The crab tartar wasn’t fresh and was clearly canned. Calmari was just ok. Considering prices, full blast of latino and russian music and poor service, I cannot understand how this place gets so many...
