Tiny chapel on a small track off a wonderfully twisty hill road. The chapel is pleasant and interesting, but it is the views which makes it so special. Look up towards Madeloc, one of the towers in these hills, south towards the Alberes hills, and down to the coast for terraced vineyards and the town of Banyuls sur Mer. I was there in early May and the wild flowers were fabulous. There are a couple of signposted walks that pass close to the chapel. A lovely tranquil spot.

Good view and perfect for walk.

It's an ancient church on uphill of Banyuls village, used when there is a special ceremony. It's located among vineyards and has fantastic view down to the village/city of Banyuls especially on the nights with the sparkling lights of the Banyuls

So nice to look down the landscape of Banyuls sur mer at bench in front of the Chapelle Notre-dame. Good meditation site^^

Stunning over the bay of Banylus

Perfect view around.

Beautiful hike and view! So special!

I recently visited Biodiversarium. Despite there not being a wide variety of fish, the ones I saw were small and adorable. I learned that they release the fish into the wild when they grow too big, which shows their commitment to animal welfare. It was a heartwarming experience knowing the fish are cared for even after they outgrow their tanks. Overall, it was a delightful visit with a unique approach to conservation that left a positive impression on me.

An extremely interesting visit, beautifully presented exhibition.

It was super nice! The staff was great, there's a good amount of sea life to see and is accessible for wheelchair. I recommend 👌

Very positively impressed by this Biodiversarium, that is also a local aquarium and conservation lab and observatory. The visit felt very informative, down to earth and sustainability-oriented, and focused on local biodiversity. I had just visited the Oceaneographic Museum of Monaco the same week, so the comparisons are almost unavoidable: I had more fun in Banyuls, where there’s less people and gadgets, and more attention to preservation and on how the Biodiversarium interacts with local landscapes and economies. Also loved to the see the museum promote an exhibition and conference with SOS Mediterranée about search and rescue of asylum seekers in the Central Mediterranean, at a time when solidarity is under attack.

A really good visit - informative and enjoyable for big and small people alike. There was a lot to see for a small biodiversarium and it was all local species. We saw some amazing jellyfish, starfish, rays, baby sharks etc. Loads of fish. And they release what they can back into the wild so it didn't feel at all exploitative or sad. For our toddlers it was perfect because a lot of the tanks were at their level too. Highly recommend. We took the 1 euro bus from Collioure to Banyul-sur-mer and it couldn't have been easier!

Super interesting. More than just an aquarium but an important research station. Learnt lots about jellyfish.

It’s ok but nothing more. Quite overpriced. Just 2 nice aquariums and some explanation, nothing more.

(Translated by Google) Very pretty panorama but poorly marked and dangerous path without walking shoes (Original) Très jolie panorama mais chemin mal balisé et dangereux sans chaussures de marche

(Translated by Google) Very good, a bit sporty! Make sure you have suitable shoes and water if it's summer. (Original) Très bien un peu sportif ! Bien prévoir des chaussures adaptées et de l eau si en été

(Translated by Google) Well signposted. Magical panorama. Not to be done if the heat is too strong. (Original) Bien fléché. Panorama magique. A ne pas faire si chaleur trop importante quand même.

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant trail to do, especially outside of the heat. However, you must be very well shod. The landscapes are magnificent (Original) Sentier très agréable à faire surtout en dehors des grosses chaleurs. Il faut être cependant très bien chaussé. Les paysages sont magnifiques

(Translated by Google) A beautiful hike on the coastal path from Banyuls sur Mer to Cerbère breathtaking views of beautiful coves with turquoise water beautiful vineyards passing by the beach of Peyrefite and the national nature reserve of Banyuls sur Sea at Cerberus (Original) Une belle randonnée effectuée sur le sentier du littoral à partir de Banyuls sur Mer jusqu'à Cerbère des vues à couper le souffle de belles criques avec une eau turquoise de beaux vignobles en passant par la plage de Peyrefite et la réserve naturelle nationale de Banyuls sur Mer à Cerbère

(Translated by Google) Beautiful coastal path to do if possible while avoiding extreme heat. Equip yourself with good shoes for walking. Allows access to pretty little coves where it is good to stop to swim or rest. (Original) Beau sentier littoral à faire si possible en évitant les grosses chaleurs . S'équiper de bonnes chaussures pour la marche . Permet l'accès à de jolies petites criques ou il fait bon de faire une halte pour se baigner ou se reposer .

(Translated by Google) It was nice to see and the place was quite quiet and nice. (Original) C'était agréable à voir et l'endroit plutôt tranquille et sympa

Went for lunch on a Sunday and everything about the dining experience was flawless. The starters were delicious, the mains well-prepared, and the streusel is an absolute must-try. The staff were friendly, professional and so knowledgeable.

Spectacular view, great hosts that made you feel welcomed. Cozy ambience. Tasty and flavored food. Two things to improve: wine glass with a small crack (base) and water glass with a strong smell of eggs, impossible to drink on it. The rest was impeccable. We didn’t take the menu of the day, for this reason was a little bit more expensive, but relatively ok for the quality of the services.

Complete picture, the view, the food, the service. We would eat here every menu change if it was not so far from home

Nestled within a hotel (Les Elmes), La Littorine restaurant at Plage del Elmes in Banyuls-sur-Mer offers an extraordinary dining experience on the first floor, boasting a semi-covered terrace with breathtaking views of a picturesque cove along the stunning coastline of Banyuls-sur-Mer. The restaurant's spacious layout features a modern touch, evident from the elegant blue bar at the entrance, complemented by a tasteful incorporation of natural elements. Our culinary journey commenced with a selection of delectable starters meant for sharing. The Anchois de la Cantabria, accompanied by confit peppers cooked au Josper and a luscious organic egg. Additionally, the assortment of artisanal croquetas served with their accompanying sauces proved to be an exquisite treat for our taste buds. Moving on to the main course, the Plats à Partager for two was a feast of flavors that highlighted the best of the local cuisine. The Zarzuela de poissons aux gambas, bisque de homard et amandes, served with black pasta, was a true indulgence, offering a delightful medley of seafood delicacies infused with the rich essence of lobster bisque and almonds. The Parreillade de poissons du jour, a selection of grilled daily catch, was a perfect representation of the region's freshest offerings, tantalizing our senses with its simplicity and authenticity. To accompany meal, we indulged in the Domaine Gardiès, Les Glaciaires vin bio 2022, a wine that perfectly complemented the array of flavors presented on our plates. The young, knowledgeable, and hospitable staff at La Littorine further contributed to the restaurant's warm and welcoming ambiance. Their attentiveness and genuine passion for the local cuisine reflected in the exemplary service they provided throughout our meal, making us feel like cherished guests. Furthermore, the toilets at La Littorine are an absolute must-see for their exceptional design. Often overlooked in many restaurants, here, the attention to detail extends even to the restroom facilities. As you step into the lavatories, you are transported to an artistic sanctuary that perfectly complements the restaurant's modern and natural theme. La Littorine is an absolute must-visit for those who appreciate the authentic flavors of the Cote de Vermeille.

For a Michelin Guide restaurant, we would expect more. Service was in a hurry, like a factory, order, your meal, no recommendations. We ordered some good wine, and a guy came with a different one because our is sold out. We got a 2013 year which should be put in a carafe for breathing, and wine opened after 1.5 hours! Food, above ordinary, delicious, with creativity and delicious sauces. We had terrific fishes/seafood and some also good starter with eggs but average rabbit (with all those bones, I had to eat with hands like a tiger). Desserts - I liked fruits aspic, but instead of sweet fondant, I’d rather have some not so sweet an atypical chocolate something.

Delicious food, lovely and efficient staff and a gorgeous view, we will definitely return. Oh and it was by far the nicest meal we’ve had this trip to Banyuls.

Now this place is very me! White table cloths fab sea view and the service was sooo good. Its also got a very affordable lunch menu which is unusual in this on weekends.

Hotel reservations email is non responsive on important booking issues. Booked a room for 26 July the booking didn’t go through and when we finally got hold of reception by calling the hotel number to rebook for the price they promise for last minute booking the receptionist just refused to rebook. For 25 euros more you lost a whole reference to future guests. Remarking that the price went up and the price is online! Very rude and not accommodating. With so many friendly welcoming hotels to stay at I would not recommend this one to any of my clients in the future.

Don’t read the bad reviews. With +100 hotel visits a year we consider us as experts. The location is fantastic, next to the sea. Room are small but comfortable. Service was very good. Don’t forget to eat in the restaurant!

Staff is excellent and the views amazing plus everything is almost new BUT it looks like a 3* hotel that did the bare minimum to became a 4* hotel. The SPA is not a SPA, just some sauna and jacuzzi that should be free. Anyway a good option for a night, not a long stay.

On the one hand nicely located on the tiny and pretty beach Les Elmes downtown Banyuls, on the other stuck along the village main street (luckly not noisy). Very clean,but a bit small room. Italian shower in the bathroom. The restaurant is good. Fresh fish. Good local wines... of course

The bathroom totally flooded when we had a shower. Separately, the entire night the room smelled strongly like sewage so that we barely fell asleep. Otherwise the hotel is pretty new and relatively modern but feels very cramped.

Great little stop off Right on the beach Big Stoney but Beautiful

Hotel had everything we like: cleanliness, air conditioning that works well, soundproofed rooms, friendly staff, parking, a wonderful restaurant on site with a beautiful sea view, and beach access a few steps across from hotel. Extended our stay to 5 nights.

We ordered salad, pizza and blue burger. Salade was average except mozzarella was not very good. Burger was fresh and home made, however taste did not stand out. Pizza was average. Location quite central and waiters were friendly In general good fast food and value for money. I recommend

Only tried the burgers. Chevre and catalan. Dry bun, that is too big for the beef patty. The mayo is a bit weird in taste and consistency. Aioli was good. Fries good. Prices fair. Slow service even though it was not during lunch rush hour. Probably would not eat here again but I'm a tourist so I only have limited days here. I have not tried the pizzas and this is not a review of those.

This is so disgusting. Saw the Cook cutting his arm hair with his kitchen knife. Left right away and even left my paid burger behind. Can't I give 0 stars??

I am not recommending since the owner changed, the minim respect attitude is missing

A review of two halves: We had two pizzas, one of which was brilliant (chicken without olives) and would have gained a 5* review, the other was a goats cheese and the base was under cooked, so only a 3* despite the topping being delicious.

Awesome local pizza, especially the l'original. And at the end some sweets for kids. We were back one more after that. Strongly recommend to visit and try one of those pizza.

Very very nice!

(Translated by Google) It's a scam!! Only good ratings on the sites.. We are on vacation in Banyuls and for our first evening we would like to eat meat! The sites tell us that all restaurants are closed. And we meet there! 4.2/5 here, 4.7/5 there!! We arrive.. gloomy parking lot decor, entrance near the trash cans.. No problem!, we give the product a chance.. Inside 2 customers.. The cook leaves his boredom and tells us that we can eat.. We order a rib of beef for 2 - 500 grams short to medium, 2 glasses of red Banyuls.. We receive: 2 glasses with a sample of red Banyuls, yes, a sample, less than 10 cl, I have the photos! No time to be surprised, the half rib arrives, yes, half rib, well cut, in the middle of the bone.... overcooked... And not 500 grms, big! I HAVE THE PICTURES! Mustard please? No Mustard Sir, just aioli!! I take thanks... 64 euros for a missed experience... If the catering bothers them, there is the rental of fins... it's good, it's fun and fashionable.. Don't go there, it frustrates and annoys you!! (Original) C'est une arnaque!! Que des bonnes notes sur les sites.. Nous sommes en vacances a Banyuls et pour une première soirée on voudrait manger de la viande! Les sites nous disent que tous les restaurants sont fermés. Et on se retrouve là ! 4.2/5 par ci, 4.7/5 par là !! On arrive.. décor parking glauque, entrée près des poubelles.. Pas grave!, on laisse sa chance au produit.. A l'intérieur 2 clients.. Le cuistot quitte son ennui et nous dit qu'on peut manger.. Nous commandons une côte de bœuf pour 2 - 500 grammes circuit court à point, 2 verres de Banyuls rouge.. Nous recevons: 2 verres avec un échantillon de Banyuls rouge, oui, un échantillon, moins de 10 cl, j'ai les photos! Pas le temps de s'étonner, la demi cote arrive, oui, demi cote, bien coupée, au milieu de l'os.... trop cuite... Et pas 500 grms, gros! J'AI LES PHOTOS! De la moutarde SVP? Pas de Moutarde Monsieur, juste de l'aïoli !! Je prend merci... 64 euros pour une expérience loupée ... Si ça les embête la restauration, il y a les location de palmes.. c'est bien, c'est fun et à la mode.. N'y allez pas, ça frustre et ça fâche !!

(Translated by Google) A most pleasant surprise: hidden behind the hotel restaurant La Littorine, Le Casot offered us a shaded table on the pool side, a small relaxing terrace surrounded by vegetation. The welcome is friendly and attentive. We enjoyed elaborate dishes made with fresh and local products. We highly recommend. (Original) Une surprise des plus agréables : caché derrière l'hôtel restaurant La Littorine, Le Casot nous a offert une table ombragée côté piscine, petite terrasse reposante entourée de végétation. L'accueil est sympathique et soigné. Nous nous sommes régalés de plats travaillés conçus avec des produits frais et locaux. On recommande chaudement.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful discovery, a restaurant that lives up to its standards, fresh produce, succulent cuisine and impeccable service. No more expensive than the restaurants in town by the beach, which are tourist traps for having been there. A top address! 👍. It is best to book 🙂 (Original) Une très belle découverte, un restaurant à la hauteur de ses prestations, des produits frais, une cuisine succulente et un service irréprochable. Pas plus cher que les restaurants en ville en bord de plage qui eux sont des attrapes touristes pour y être allés. Une adresse au top ! 👍. Il est préférable de réserver 🙂

(Translated by Google) Expensive restaurant with no notable dishes. The restaurant is small, but nice and clean. We ate here and ordered various dishes to share. The portions are small and I emphasize the high price and poor quality. The croquettes and gazppacho are not bad, but the potato omelet is horrible. Average price €30 (Original) Restaurante caro y sin platos reseñables. El restaurante es pequeño, pero agradable y limpio. Comimos aquí y pedimos platos variados para compartir. Las raciones son pequeñas y recalco el elevado precio y la excasa calidad. Las croquetas y el gazppacho no están mal, pero la tortilla de patatas es horrible. Precio medio 30€

(Translated by Google) Cocktails to die for A very simple menu, but everything is perfectly cooked. It's not a popular restaurant but damn, it feels good to eat grilled meats and drink cocktails, it feels like a vacation. If you like grilled meats and cocktails, go there with your eyes closed! (Original) Des cocktails à tomber Une carte très simple, mais tout est parfaitement cuisiné. Ce n'est pas un restaurant coté mais bon sang, que ça fait du bien de manger des grillades et boire des cocktails, ça fait : vacances. Si vous aimez la grillade et les cocktails, allez y les yeux fermés !

(Translated by Google) Superb experience, the setting is very friendly, the food is excellent, there is a real menu with fresh and local products which is rare in this type of establishment. The service is top notch as is the food, I recommend 200% (Original) Superbe expérience , le cadre est très sympathique , la cuisine est excellente , il y a une vraie carte avec des produits frais et locaux ce qui est rare dans ce type d’établissements. Le service est au top tout comme la cuisine , je recommande à 200%

(Translated by Google) Very good atmosphere, the quality was perfect, cooking nothing to say with happy and pleasant service, to do again! (Original) Très bonne ambiance la qualité était parfaite cuisson rien à dire avec un service heureux et agréable à refaire !

Been waiting an hour for nachos. How long does it take to put some crisps and cheese on a plate and warm it up ? Update. So the food arrived and I have to say it was well worth the wait.

Excellent salads!

First waiter was very nice but the boss told him off in front of me for not cashing in the first drinks straight away, then served me a beer that was half foam...

Great little place, nice decoration, friendly service, good food for a snack. We really enjoyed our break here!

Great place. Very friendly helpful staff

Great food reasonably priced
