Small, lovely with beautiful views. I loved it. However, the cruise from Bandol costs 17 euro per person which is a bit too expensive for 300 meter distance.

Lovely little island, very romamtic

Really beautiful island

(Translated by Google) Island purchased by Paul Ricard Family home near the Bandol coast A beautiful island seen from afar (Original) Île acheté par Paul Ricard Maison familiale à proximité des côtes de Bandol Très belle île vu de loin

(Translated by Google) Great environment, small beach, walk. Hotel, you can go scuba diving, upon reservation from the restaurant it pays for the crossing You can stay all day. The crossing costs €17 per person but after we don't know where the islands are by swimming it's also good with a small inflatable boat for business not to get wet (Original) Environnement génial petite plage, balade. Hôtel, vous pouvez faire de la plongée sous-marine,sur réservation du restaurant il paye la traversée Vous pouvez rester toute la journée. La traversée coûte 17€ par personne mais après qu'on n'est su où se trouvait îles à la nage c'c'est bien aussi avec un petit bateaux gonflant pour les affaires à ne pas mouillé

(Translated by Google) Small typical island in the same style as the island of Embiez, with a Paul Ricard touch. The tour of the island is done in half an hour, the beach is very small and located on the land side and the sea side. Far too many paths covered in concrete. Numerous excellent restaurants With large coast terrace. The price of the boat is a bit exorbitant considering the short distance. Island to discover out of season to be more peaceful (Original) Petite île typique de même style que l'île des Embiez, avec une touche Paul Ricard. Le tour de l'île se fait en une demi heure, la plage est très petite et placé du côté Terre et du côté du large en mer. Beaucoup trop de chemins recouverts de béton. Nombreux restaurants excellents Avec terrasse côte grand large. Le prix du bateau est un peu exorbitant compte tenu de la courte distance. Île à découvrir hors saison pour être plus tranquille

(Translated by Google) We went to Bendor Island for sunset and were not disappointed! Absolutely magical place outside of time and the tourist atmosphere of Bandol. Absolutely stunning scenery (mainly Neptune's Garden). I also recommend the small workshops of local creators. The island also has a few restaurants where it is even possible to dine (the last shuttle to Bandol is after midnight). (Original) Nous sommes allé sur l’île de Bendor pour le coucher du soleil et n’avons pas été déçus ! Endroit absolument magique hors du temps et de l’ambiance touristique de Bandol. Paysage absolument magnifique (principalement le jardin de Neptune). Je recommande aussi les petits ateliers de créateurs locaux. L’île possède aussi quelques restaurants où il est même possible de dîner (la dernière navette pour Bandol étant après minuit).

👌

Super!

The beach itself is magnificent, and quite large. It took me a moment to find the "hidden" access to the beach. The path is not wheelchair accessible since it has steep stairs with sharp turns. The water level is not too deep, it moderately becomes deeper. When I arrived at the beach it was very crowded — despite its size but I managed to find myself a spot right at the rubbish bins. Overall the beach is suitable for families w/kids but if you're on your own — seeking a more peaceful experience — there are better alternatives nearby.

Very nice beach with view. We got it on a windy day but still recommended to visit and swim in Bandol

We walked here from our Airbnb about 20 minutes away. It was crowded - but not more than you would expect in the summer when it is 90 degrees (F). Earlier in the day the angle of the sun creates some shade by the wall which was nice to have. Beach had a nice breeze and there were rocks to put on your blankets / towels so they stayed in place. Water was calm and colder than expected - but very refreshing!

Beautiful beach! But very crowded

Excelente beach. I would come again

Beach to swim. Watch out for jelly fish; we had seen 4 and there's no official warning or such, even though you'd expect it. Ask people before entering. Common jelly fish is the pelagia; its bites can be quite nasty and even have allergic outcome. Use a mix with salt water & bicarbonates.

I came here on a recommendation from another winery. Vianney, who speaks great English, took me through the rose and white wines (I wasn't after any reds). He was very warm and friendly. The place itself is very modern with great views. Merci beaucoup!

Brilliant ! Simply brilliant. Roman was very kind and patient, conversation seemed like among friends but very professional, wine-tasting was amazing, and recommendations on what to do around, where to visit were spot-on. Absolutely recommended

Great tour of the vineyards. I learnt so much from Roman. He was very knowledgeable and gave our tour in perfect english. The wine was nice too.

Had a wonderful tour and tasting. Fascinating to learn about the whole process. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Their aged rose is really good.

Wonderful experience, learned so much about wine and the winemaking process. Our tour guide, Guenola, was excellent proving very knowledgable no matter what questions we asked and of course the wine itself was very tasty! Bandol Rouge was our personal favourite. ❤️

Amazing experience here. Beautiful vineyard with a great wine tasting with Romain(I think ) . Had a great knowledge of wine and the wines were superb . Can’t wait to open up our purchases . Thank you 🙏

What a great experience! Thanks Roman, it was lovely to try your wines and understand a little bit better the terroir and the grapes from Bandol. See you soon in Rioja!

The sea front path offers gorgeous views of the picturesque coves along the sea shore. Off season is easy to park near the tennis club. One can walk down to the sea in multiple locations.

Great little Creek to start your swim or canoe ride, or even hike along the seaside on customs trail

Fantastic views, just a beautiful place.

I love this little hidden beach close to Bandol .. a lovely place

A jewel of a rock beack. Clear water and beautiful spot

Correct

Very nice restaurant in one of the most beautiful Hotel of Bandol. The chef started in 2018 and brought his cuisine to this place. The menu is mainly based on fish and every dish is very well balanced between taste and acidity. The ingredients are all locally selected, even the cheese and the jelly. The main room is a bit old but the personnel is nice and welcoming. Come early to enjoy the sunset, it will be a wonderful moment.

We have been to les oliviers a few weeks ago for my partner's birthday. We didn’t enjoy this dinner. We took a menu. All courses are made with fish so if you are vegetarian or you don’t like fish this is not a place for you. Also, they don’t have a lot of options so check the menu carefully before going there. My wife loves deserts and she was very disappointed. They only have 2 deserts and they are not great. The waiters made me remember how we are not welcome in France. We booked a table explicitly requesting a nice view but when we arrived they said all tables with nice views are not available. However, those tables stayed empty the whole evening until 11pm when we left! Not only they gave us a table with the worst view, they are so unprofessional that they thought we were 2 instead of 4, although I received a written confirmation my booking was for 4! This is unacceptable! Overall, this restaurant is overrated (probably due to its location in a touristic area). I tried many restaurants without Michelin stars that are way better than this one.

Amazing experience. The whole team was top notch, food, view, worth it.

A shame I can’t give a better rating but everything was wrong.... we booked through the “fourchette app” and they called us to say that it was fully booked despite having received a confirmation from the “fourchette”. Thus we went the day after and arrived at 8:30pm. It took them 40 min to give us the menu and their excuse was “sorry but we don’t have enough and you all came at the same time”. Not to mention that the Martini Cocktail that we ordered (specifying with Hendricks Gin) arrived and it was ...a white martini! They said that we didn’t express ourself properly. We took the 6 courses Menu and the entire experience was not “Michelin star”... food was okeish, most of the time cold or with a real lack of taste. The explanations were just “not existing” and we couldn’t understand most of the waiters.... The wines “matching” the food were simply average wines (2 of them being rosé). A shame because we did 2 other Michelin During our stay at the Castellet and they were really really excellent. This one doesn’t deserve the Star. My advise would be to take less people and really offer a Michelin Service. The I Spector should go at high season and the Star will be gone... I hope they will step change their approach. PS: we do speak French since we are Swiss.

Superb dinner. Five stars to Patrick who was an excellent waiter

Beautiful sea view from the dining room. Good food. Nice service. Be prepared to wait.

Absolutely stunning. Very tasty and creative food. Super friendly sevice

Beautiful food, 3 courses menu with 3-4 options to choose each for €54. The quality and flavours were amazing. The service was extraordinary, our waitress was knowledgeable, friendly and made us feel very welcome even when we didn’t speak French.

Absolutely stunning. Very good food and creative dishes. Super friendly service. Highly recommended!

Just eat here!!! The best food we've eaten on our trip hands down. Everything we were served was absolutely delicious. The chef paid special attention to my husband's allergies. Do not hesitate stop by if you are in the area.

This is a typical French restaurant with a price competitive menu for 45 euro with 3 choices per course: starter, main and dessert. Although I had not understood this from the name but the restaurant has a Sardinian focus. We were a party of four so we selected each dish at least once. All of the dishes competed for best choice. We had a lovely bottle of white wine from Sardinia, Tenute Olbios 'Lupus in Fabula' for 50 euro. As a seasoned traveler, I can recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly. This is one of the best meals I have eaten and can withstand tough competition. In terms of price quality, this is the best restaurant in Bandol. Be sure to make a reservation (by phone or on site) as many customers had to be turned down while we were there, although they all made reservations for the days ahead.

Tasty sardinian and italian food. Delicous products such as truffle, artichoke, pecorino, guanciale, olives etc. Some amazing compositions of flavours. A wide range of wines, from Sardinia and Italy. Everything was nice, creative even spectacular for desserts. The waitress was kind and the service, quick. Perfect restaurant. I highly recommend.

Delicious food, beautiful presentations, attentive service and lovely atmosphere. We dined here three times during our stay in Bandol and each evening as consistently wonderful. I highly recommend Shardana.

Surprise. So good, but not in the red guide. Yet better than most red guide recommendations nearby. Friendly sardinian/french couple cook up a storm of sardinian provencal fusion with flair.

A little gem! on the back street so you'll have to surrender your Seaview, but you'll gain a marvellous culinary experience. A short menu, brilliantly executed with a creative twist. A very interesting wine list well priced. Go for the menu, and share the cheese plate (unmissable!) and dessert. Book in advance, it's a small place. And show up or cancel if you can't make it.

Visited this restaurant with my wife during a weekend trip in Bandol. The food was great, the staff were friendly and attentive. Would recommend.

A true gem! Located in a quiet pedestrian street away from the touristy waterfront, this lovely bistro offers amazingly delicious food and great wines at a very decent price. Menu is written on the board and updated often, so one can enjoy different things if visiting more than once. Mediterranean french cuisine, original, tasty dishes with wonderful fresh seasonal ingredients, and very friendly service with perfect timing. Really a great choice to have dinner when visiting Bandol.

Having eaten at many Michelin star restaurants, I would say that this restaurant does deserve its star. The highlight was the egg parfait starter. The main course of lamb was perfectly cooked, and the peach and nectarine dessert was very fresh and refreshing. The wine choices were excellent and the proprietor is clearly an expert in wines. We were served by two people, an older man and a younger man. The older man, who I took to be the proprietor, was courteous and kind and very patient with our attempts at French. The younger man was quite different. When we arrived, he corrected our French when ordering items - I took this in good spirit, as I would like to improve my French and so tried to take his tips on board! It was all a bit bizarre thereafter. He poured water very close to my husband's head into a flower bed (the water which had been in another table's wine chiller). I dismissed this as a bit of a relaxed moment on his part and thought that it was quite funny - however, he did it again later in the meal and I started to think that it was something deliberate (and rather childish). He also brought our main course over to our table, but then hovered the plate in his hand about one inch from the table in front of my husband while turning to talk to the table next to us. I again let this go, but subsequently he put two wine glasses down on the table and then turned round to talk to the other table without pouring the wine. It was all a bit odd and not what you would expect in a Michelin star restaurant (or any restaurant for that matter!). This man's behaviour was somewhat dismissive and rude. I don't know what it was, whether that we are gay or British (or both!), but I have never experienced anything like this in any restaurant. I hesitated to write this review, as the food is excellent and the service from the older man was courteous and pleasant. However, if there is an element of discrimination, I feel that it is important to record it and maybe it can be improved on, as the food is great!

Michelin recommended for a reason, and relatively affordable. The strawberry tart was my favourite dish.

Overall, the food was probably the best out of all the restaurants we visited on our trip in provence (especially the bread). The yellowtail tartare/carpaccio, however, didn’t smell very fresh, and caused food poisoning the next day. You have to be a bit patient as they are short staffed.

Phenomenal food! Make sure you book and be patient and they seem to be understaffed.

Good Food, absolutely lovely ambiance. One can tell that this restaurant is run by heart an soul! We absolutely enjoyed every minute. Very personal spirit! We‘ll be back! Good food for fair prices!

Couldn't dine in because of lack of staff. But has lots of vegetarian options and very filling. Really generous and use so many various ingredients for Poke bowl. Bo bun was a warm version but really tasty as well.

Cute place and friendly owner; the Vietnamese food (didn't try the sushi) was very fresh and good portions. Recommended!

Great place, Fresh and Mazing food. Atmosphere chill. Perfect service. You'll love it !

Best bo bun and best ever Sake. Very friendly and welcoming team. We had a great diner.

Really delicious homemade Japanese nibbles. Take away or eat on the little tables outside

Nice, quick, easy, and bonus shusi

The best meal of our French holiday… and we’ve had some amazing food in the Jura and Ardeche. But this cooking was the very best.. delicate, sophisticated flavours, perfectly cooked and seasoned, and some lovely surprises: ceviche de liche was a revelation, the piquant sauce verge with the fish of the day accompanied by a comforting and satisfying risotto, praline crème in the Mille feiulle . Magnificent!

We had an excellent dining experience in this small but cozy restaurant. The food was classical French cuisine made from local ingredients with a touch of Asian cuisine. We also had great conversations with the owner and server, who also nicely explained the choice of wines, how he operates, etc. The main course could have been a bit bigger, but after having tried several entrees, it was enough. Everything tasted very good, definitely worth a try for locals and tourists.

Hands down the best fine dining in Aix. Tiffany was an amazing host. She seated the four of us at the "big table". She provided detailed info on the Bandol Rose and Red and wines. We had a bottle of each and they were exceptional. The food was bountiful and wonderful from a mind blowing charcuterie plate - the tomato tarttartaine with cheese ice cream is an absolute must. The fantastic mains - fresh fish, duck kabobs with apricot and a ratatouille risoto. All delicious. Our plates were licked clean. Just a fantastic experience far far above the other places we had tried the three nights before. And love to Naughty the lovable beagle. We gave the chef a round of applause when he ducked out into the dining room. Not to be missed.

If you are a fan of (natural) wine paired with really well prepared and thought through dishes, this will be a fantastic experience. The menu invites you to a beautiful trip across the Mediterranean. Plus: the service is great and friendly!

What a meal, highly recommended. First of all, the staff is incredibly nice and speaks fluent English (not that common in this part of France). Then, and most importantly, the food was amazing. The starter is a must have: tomato pie with cheese ice cream. And the mains were delicious too: pasta and pesto risotto. Deserts were equally delicious and good wine list. A must if you are around this area!

We had an incredible dinner here. Food and wines were equally amazing, the host is everything you could wish for in a caring and competent host. There simply was love and attention in every little detail. Bravo!

Excellent food and service! The fish soup and the osso bucco were very tasty & the wine recommendations very thoughtful :)
