"Take away pizza seemed like the order of the day following a lovely family day at the beach. ‘I’ll call ahead’ I thought, they’ll be piping hot and the hungry, tired kids can devour them immediately when we get home. It was a good plan. I called and received the sort of welcome and helpful good cheer that one might expect from jailer who had been up all night and had forgotten both has flask of coffee and his sandwiches. We nevertheless pressed on, and the relatively simple order of 5 margaritas, two pizza la reine and a vegetarian was ultimately, begrudgingly taken. They would be ready in 30 mins apparently. Now I’ve been around the take away pizza block a few hundred times, but what ensued was a masterclass in incompetence. If it hadn’t involved pizza, it would have been funny. But pizza is a serious business, as we know. As we arrived we walked past the poor souls who were eating at Les II Muriers properly, it became very clear that this was a place of hunger and sadness. Frankly, having been in the joint for 10 seconds, we knew we were in trouble. The other patrons whose own pizza dreams had been cruelly crushed by Les II Muriers generously emplored us to try somewhere, anywhere, else. But we had already ordered. Gulp. As we approached the counter we were told it would take another hour and a half for our 8 pizzas, that had been ordered some 30 mins before. This was fairly but firmly countered and we were then told it would just be 10 minutes! Wonderful!... But after a further half an hour they bought out only half the pizzas. They then put these back to get further mullered and after another 30 minutes we finally got the full compliment. Plus another pizza we hadn’t ordered. We took it as we couldn’t face another discussion with the hapless, hiding staff. No apologies. No charm. Pay up and foxtrot oscar was very much the watchword for those at Les II Muriers. Don’t go there. It’s the pits. And the pizzas, in the end, a 5 out of 10 (max)."

"Four people want to have a good meal so we search the reviews and up pops "Chez Vincent". Well, as they say, it's always a ****-shoot, but we decided to take a chance and were most definitely not disappointed and as we awaited our first course we whet our appetites with a simple amuse-bouche and a sip or two of Chateau Les Crostes rouge. Three of us had decided to take the 30€ menu and to start the meal our friendly waiter, Vincent's brother-in-law, placed before us Salade St Marcelline, a well filled bowl of fresh lettuce topped with among other morcels, a deliciously gooey piece of the eponymous cheese baked in crumbs and herbs, several pieces of jambon cru, artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes. Happily unrushed we chatted away, contented to be inside on a damp rainy evening, until our main courses arrived, Confit de Canard for those of us taking the table d'hote and Roti Saumon for my wife. Not a disappointed face anywhere and four clean plates told the story. The duck was tender and tasty, the salmon light and moist, and the sides and sauces well suited to each. The rains got heavier as we relished our vittles and so arrived at the time for the sweetest of decisions, Fondant Chocolat for two, a Creme Brulee for one and Croute de Pommes for me. We could not have asked for a better meal, with friendly service in comfortable surroundings, and all at a reasonable price that well matched the quality we received."
