I think we ended up at Plage du Bernardi, but I reckons it all "the same area." A lot of snorkelling options. I however had a SUP and went between the two swim spots. Lovely beach!

Beautiful Mediterranean coast not far from Perpignan. Definitely worth visiting. Rich cultural and artistic heritage. Good dining options.

Lovely little beach protected by the surrounding cliffs.

Accessibility is well-managed, with a large parking lot at the top of the hill (arrive early in peak season to secure a spot or you will have to spent a couple of minutes looking for a spot) and a scenic 10-minute walk down to the shore . The beach is family-friendly, with amenities like restrooms, showers. It gets busy during summer afternoons, mornings offer a peaceful atmosphere.

It is a wonderful place to spend the day at the beach ⛱️I love the tranquil and pristine water. There is a free parking lot just 10 minutes away from the beach, and the view from the top of the hill is absolutely magnificent ⛰️If you enjoy capturing beautiful photos, I highly recommend visiting 🙋🏻‍♂️

A beautiful place to enjoy the beach and learn a bit about local dynamite history! The museum was closed and you aren't allowed to sunbathe or picnic right now due to Covid-19, but it's still a beautiful beach for a quick dip and a beautiful walk in the gardens.

Great beach (pebbles) for snorkling and stand up paddling. Watershoes are a must because of the rocks and sea ​​urchins. Great parking place with a nice walking route. to be able to park you have to arrive early.

The phares are always very nice to see. You can imagine how ships depend of them, mostly of set of some phares. Nowadays no human is needed to take care of phases, mostly. Fresnel lenses are still the most effective way to concentrate the light beams in parallel to travel a long way to the ships, turning over the light source and making a certain pattern, marked on maps to be identified for the orientation to get to a harbour. But it's very beautiful to watch them by walking by, hiking with friends or alone.

A good walk from Ports Vendres to the lighthouse along a coastal path or on a road that follows the path to the lighthouse great views of the Pyrenees mountains and the Mediterranean sea very picturesque not too difficult just a good pair of walking shoes I wouldn't recommend for people with reduced mobility and sometimes the signage isn't very clear

Easy trail. The first 500m are the hardest but once you make it past there is no challenge. Can be done by young kids who practiced (assuming they are not wearing flip flops!)

Really amazing views and great hike. But this region is known for its gale force winds and we got caught in them. It will knock you off your feet, literally. So check the weather forecast and come prepared anyway. Also there are lovely little crooks around the mountain you can go for a chilly swim.

Amazing view along the coastline in both directions particularly when the weather is clear, as it was today. Worth a visit just for the views. Several footpaths lead along the coast from here to other pleasant places to visit such as Port Vendres, Banyuls sur Mer and Pauliles. It is possible to drive much of the route from Port Vendres if you can't be bothered walking but I would not recommend driving in summer as the road is narrow, with very few places suitable to pass. Interesting to read later this evening that the many scattered building remains past the old lighthouse were built by the Germans after they invaded to prevent counter attack by the Allies. These building remnants are probably not easily accessible to those with mobility issues and if you have children or a pet they need to be closely supervised due to areas of loose ground and also the cliff edges.

One of the most beautiful hiking in the region. Next to Collioure and Port-Vendre. Cap Beart is wonderful in springtime and autumn to avoid burning sun.

Great view of the area. But not much else and a long ride to get there. There are some interesting old buildings with basements that you can go into and its kinda creepy

The taste was less than expected. Shrimps were served without cleaning its waste! it had a rich taste and smell. Zucchini didn't have any sauces beside it. No plates policy which was wired for me to eat from the main dish and throw the shrimp Skelton in the same dish!

The place is in a very nice setting. The food is great. Perfect portions and well done. We had a great experience with the staff. The people who complain about the service have obviously not lived in France 😂.

Great place for food with a lovely and very nice team

Amazing food. we had some fresh oysters, verry tasty. Different mains like the linguine. Everything super tasteful. Staff verry friendly

Really wonderful lunch in Chez Pujol today. Great menu - all 3 of us had different things. It was all delicious but the star of the show were the strawberries which had been lightly pickled with rose peppercorns. Delicious. Great wine recommendation too and nice friendly service in spite of our poor French. Thank you. Recommend. We will return.

Cafe Chez Pujol - an institution in Port-Vendres for three generations! Absolutely worth a visit!

Unfortunately we had a horrible entrecôte, lousy toast with tomato and miserable vegetables. Very bad French cuisine:(

It’s the heart of the Saturday Market at Port Vendres - and also where a pizza van stops some evenings in the week

Beautiful view from there on the bay.

Great place to park.

This historic monument was erected in 1780 in the reign of King Louis XVI.. has Markets beneath on Saturdays..

A nice port to visit. With activities such as boat renting. Check out Nautica Vermeille for amazing boat rentals (with or without permit) and even sunset cruises with aperitif. A must in the area.

Quite interesting monument.

Convenient parking for Port Vendres with this nice monument to give it character. This is the space used on market day so parking closed then

Fort Saint Elme is currently closed (nil signage as to why at the location), however the surrounding views are beautiful and the walk is gorgeous. Recommend walking up and back if you’re in Collioure, rather than driving.

Really interesting visit and great value. Lots of local history. There’s a combination ticket with the local Petit Train from Collioure which gives a local guided tour. Follow the visit with a hike back into town through vineyards with spectacular views.

it is advisable to either take the petite train to the top of the fort, it's a spectacular view around the coast, and the winding roads snaking up to the mountain a wonder. I would then advise to take time to walk around the fort as the train only stops for a few minutes before returning. you can then walk down if it's not too hot to enjoy the smell and scenery of the vineyards. It is about an hour back down towards Coullier, otherwise wait for the next train which will be about the same time.

Great views of the town below and surrounding countryside, a bit expensive I thought and the access road is very narrow, so take your time if you go.

Amazing views of Colliure, the coast and the hill. Toddlers love it, they can borrow knight costumes and soft play swords.

I have been looking up at this Fort from my studio so was very impressed by the building itself, the history along with the staff working there.!

Very nicely restored fortress with extensive and well-displayed medieval armaments, tools of combat. Good historical information posted. 360 degree views of the Mediterranean and Pyrenees from atop the fortress.

We found La planche Tapas very tastefull. The waiter was a young man, who did not bring the right drinks and afterwards the wrong coffee. The owner made us a capuccino , because the waiter did not understand. So for tourists like us he needs training

I love this place. You can always count on good comfort food! The house sangria us the best!

Very nice dinner experience with a friendly waitress. Generous and reasonable prices. We enjoyed

We've ordered crepes that were brought in a minute, almost cold, most probalbly prepared in the morning and now just heated a bit. Coffee with milk - a matter of taste, but too far from a good one. Sad:(

Extremely mediocre cuisine. Avoid!

Amazing find. Food was delicious and the service was fabulous. Great location overlooking the harbour.

(Translated by Google) Excellent location facing the sea/harbor. Unbeatable prices, menu at 22 euros (starter + main course + dessert) and children's menu at 12 euros (main course + dessert). Simple meal, worth the price. Perfect service, friendly and pleasant staff (Original) Excellent emplacement face à la mer / port . Prix imbattable, menu à 22 euros (entrée + plat+ dessert) et menu enfant à 12 euros (plat + dessert ) . Repas simple , à la hauteur du prix . Service parfait, personnel sympa et agréable

Oysters and a dry muscat, tapas fried anchovies, pan tomates, veal with cèpes. A tiny place fun on Christmas Eve, dog friendly, no wine list but wine good

Dirty interior. We ordered a cola zero and got dirty glasses, my Coke turned bad almost a year ago and had black mold. I did not dare to order food at this place.

Very local bar, good food and drinks but don't expect everything to happen fast. Would definitely return in any case. An authentic experience

Good meals, great tapas, friendly atmosphere, always a great spot

Don't expect a posh restaurant, do expect a local friendly reasonably priced bar with good tapas in a quiet location of the port. Recommended and we will return.

Thank you for your generous hospitality. You made two Australians very happy and welcome for our 12 days in Port Vendres

You will not taste better food anywhere else in the region. 3 star michelin

We went with a group of friends and everything was quite nice. We parked at site de Paulille because near to the restaurant the parking lots are not sufficient and all booked. During the weekend they have a DJ who plays on vinyl electronic music. The food is good but you need to come early to have more choices. "Cote du beauf" was tasty, same like all the rest what we shared, prices a bit strange but I think this is everywhere same like the attitude of the staff. The owner is very kind and nice, and I still don't understand why the regular staff is so disrespectful.

Food is ok. Service was fast at the beginning but once we had our food they completely forgot about us. We tried to ask for a second glass of wine a few times but we kept being told "I'll be with you in a second" (the restaurant was half full, other people were being served). After 35 minutes waiting, we left with no wine and no dessert

Went for Sunday lunch so perhaps busier than usual. Slow but friendly service. Ordered starters and mains. Kids ordered full size pasta dishes and we had fish stew for two. Fish was amazing! Kids pasta not so. Their portion was same size as kids portion we’d seen heading to another table. It was cold, had hardly any sauce on it and was really not very appetising at all. It’s surely one of the easiest meals to get right?! Spoiled what would have been a lovely, if overpriced meal. We asked if they’d delivered us the kids pasta instead but despite being the same size it was in fact the adult portion. Really weird. They were smiling and friendly but completely dismissive of any suggestion that the pasta was disappointing. We decided against deserts on basis that they might be as disappointing as the pasta and went next door to the very nice beach snack bar for waffles and coffee! Awesome. Is the pasta bolognese a punishment for not ordering fish?! Who knows. Although it was a lovely fish stew, kids said it was worst meal they’d had in a long time. Go (without kids ) for a great fish meal if you have a lot of time and a lot of money!

Friendly staff/Decent food. Like the way if you have a reservation you can use restaurant car park all day for free. Parking a nightmare at this beach. Hired Sunloungers all day from restaurant bit pricey but made the experience all the more pleasant. Overall really good day.

Food was excellent but no sign of any PPE being worn by any staff or diners except for us!

Flavours and view were wonderful although the service let us down and didnt quite match a top restaurant level in some cases. Dishes were well excuted although we found a pièce of shell in one dish. By attending it to the staff the reaction was almost like; shit happens, without much effort of an honest excuse. My wife wo is pregnant asked if there was a non alcoholic drink option to match some dishes. After 20 min we asked again and the only response was; the sommelier said no there isnt. 20 min later the sommelier came to ask if she was interested to have a japanese typ of thee which was good. My espresso along the dessert was forgotten and as we had just finished it another waitress came to tell us we could pay at the desk as they would close soon(there were still 4 tables present). We mentioned about the espresso which was swiftly brought and they told us it was on the house although it was already included in the menu price.. even at mentioning some of the flaws while paying at the desk it was kinda dismissed as being irrelevant. All in all, great food, awesome flavors, stunning view. Improvements on the service seem a necisity or we just had bad luck

An interesting fact about this place is that the later you make a reservation, the worse the table you'll get. When you arrive at the restaurant, you'll be greeted by an irritable Frenchwoman from the hotel's reception desk, who will yell at you that taxis are not allowed to stop here. This is a very bad first impression. The girl who greets you at the entrance to the restaurant won't say "hello, welcome," but will instead say "name, reservation" in a very rude manner, without even smiling. The service was terrible, and I had to ask the waiter to pour me champagne every time, because the waiter was never in the dining room. The food was average, and the 5/7 dishes had strange combinations of flavors, and the concept was lost. We spent 3 hours there, and the place had no personality other than a schoolroom with terrible lighting, and I almost fell asleep. I didn’t see there anyone smiling. The Michelin star was only for the location.

Highly recommended. Such a beautiful place, it's not only about the view. The cuisine of chef Laurent Lemal is very well thought. Local products worked in the most creative and beautiful way. The deserts made by Julie are also waow. The Sommelier team is well trained and very friendly. Service staff is also on top of everything. Amazing experience ✨. Worth the price.

Some restaurants seduce you before the first bite. Here, it’s the terrace—perched over Collioure Bay, offering a view so stunning you’d almost forgive a middling meal. Luckily, there’s no need: the kitchen delivers a dining experience that matches the scenery, course after course. From the start, the service strikes the right note. The staff isn’t just polite; they’re attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure your meal feels tailored. Before the first dish even arrives, they ask about allergies or ingredients you’d rather avoid, then adjust the menu accordingly. It’s a thoughtful gesture that sets the tone for what follows. The shorter tasting menu—our choice—turned out to be anything but skimpy. What arrived was a parade of small plates, each more charming than the last. The miniature vegetables were a delight, particularly a tiny eggplant that packed more flavor than seemed possible. The fideuà with scarlet carabineros was a standout, rich and briny, a dish that lingered long after the plate was cleared. Not everything soared. A white fish paired with a zucchini blossom stuffed with potato looked lovely but fell flat on the palate, its flavors muted where the rest of the meal sang. Still, such missteps were rare. Dessert more than redeemed things—a clever tomato creation that played with sweetness and acidity in a way that felt surprising and deeply satisfying. The petits fours with coffee sealed the meal with a final indulgent flourish. Romantic, relaxing, and above all delicious, this is the kind of place that turns a meal into an experience—and one you’ll want to recommend before you’ve even left the terrace.

Overall a pleasant experience. But compared to other Michelin starred restaurants I’ve been to the food was unfortunately not as well executed. Flavors was not very well balanced throughout. Great wine and really good service. Enjoyed the evening though I expected more from the food.

Phenomenal dining experience at La Balette. The team of Lucca, Vincent, Simon and Yanis were exceptional. The five courses from beginning to end were just exceptional.

Yet again (our 5th annual visit) an outstanding culinary experience. Congratulations to the whole team for maintaining such high standards.

Beautiful pier and beach. Perfect for swimming when it's a bit warm. There are toilets nearby where you can change, however you must wear proper clothes on the way to and from the beach. Nice scenery with the castle.

Beautiful Beach This is a great place, with the Castle & the lighthouse in the backdrop, really beautiful. The beach is amazing and the water crystal clear. It is a beautiful pier and beach, this place is perfect for swimming. All the expected amenities are here, parking, toilets, etc. Well worth the visit!

lovely beach at Collioure and, at 20 minutes away by train, an ideal day trip from Perpignan. There is a stunning Vauban fortress by the sea, and charming beachside bars and seafood restaurants.

It's pretty good yeah

Picture perfect location. Nice calm bay to swim in(water shoes if you have sensitive feet to rocks). A good handful of restaurants on the promenade to enjoy lunch, dinner or cocktails.

A wonderful setting. Chilled rose from the bar. Say no more!

very nice place very sunny and a lot of places to drink a coffee.

Helpful lady receptionist. Answered all information asked. Job well done.

LOST IN THE COLOURS OF COLLIOURE: A MEDITERRANEAN GEM Nestled between the shimmering Mediterranean Sea and the vine-laced foothills of the Pyrenees, Collioure is one of those rare places that captures your heart before you even realise it's happened. I had barely stepped off the coastal road before I was met with a visual symphony: ochre and pink buildings, sunlit stone alleyways, and the brightly painted fishing boats bobbing in the bay like strokes from an artist’s brush. And in a way, that’s exactly what they are. THE TOWN THAT INSPIRED THE MASTERS Collioure is no ordinary coastal town. It is where the modern art movement Fauvism was born. Henri Matisse and André Derain fell under its spell in the early 20th century, enchanted by the quality of the light and the riot of colours. As I strolled through the town, it was easy to see why. Every corner looks like it could be a painting — and many of them are. Look out for the trail of easels around town showing famous works painted at the exact spots where the artists stood. A CASTLE BY THE SEA You can’t miss the Château Royal de Collioure. It dominates the seafront — a fortress that has guarded this coastline since medieval times. Exploring it is like stepping through centuries: from the Knights Templar to Vauban’s reinforcements under Louis XIV. The views from the ramparts across the harbour are breathtaking — especially at sunset, when the sky turns a palette of gold and lavender. THE POSTCARD VIEW The most photographed spot in Collioure is surely the Église Notre-Dame-des-Anges, perched right on the water’s edge. Its distinctive pink dome and lighthouse-like bell tower are the town’s calling card. Whether you see it by day, reflected in the still sea, or by night when it's gently lit, it’s a sight that stays with you. FOOD WITH SOUL If you’re a seafood lover, you’re in luck. Collioure is famous for its anchovies, still prepared traditionally in local factories you can visit. I sat down at a quayside café and enjoyed a platter of anchovies in oil, olives, and a glass of Banyuls, the local fortified wine — sweet, rich, and perfect with salty fish. Restaurants like Le 5ème Péché or Casa Léon deliver refined cuisine without the pretense. And don’t skip the ice cream at Glaces et Mignardises — I had lavender and honey, and I still think about it. BEYOND THE TOWN Collioure is also a great base for exploration. The hiking trail to Fort Saint-Elme gives stunning panoramic views of the coast and vineyards. If you're feeling adventurous, walk part of the Sentier du Littoral, the coastal path that leads to nearby coves and fishing villages. FINAL THOUGHTS Collioure is like stepping into a living painting — a place where the Mediterranean meets the muse. It's elegant without being stuffy, artistic without trying too hard, and impossibly photogenic at every turn. It’s the kind of town that lingers long after you’ve left. And if you do visit, don’t be surprised if you find yourself planning your return before you’ve even unpacked. See you next time, Collioure. You’ve made a masterpiece of my memories.

Worth looking out for free guided tours of town. We had a 2 hr visit including 4 wineries with tasting.

Fantastic town and the tourist office was very helpful

Fabulous location, beautiful architecture, great shopping too with many independent vendors and covers of restaurants

A nice tourist office a little busy as collioure itself is a popular place to visit.

Love this place we came last year 😎

Lovely beach with excellent rocks for snorkeling. Also a good bay for paddleboarding. The beach is a 10/15min walk from the car park, through a beautiful area which has exhibits about fishing and dynamite making in the area. There is also a cafe about half way through the walk. The beach is a mixture of stones and gritty sand. Waters are extremely clear and we were able to spot starfish, jellyfish and an octopus when snorkeling around the bay. There is no cafe/restaurant etc actually on the beach, so make sure you take plenty of food and drink for your visit.

Love this area. Big, free car park and access to the beach, there is a small cafe on site and a large decked area under the trees next to the beach. You can pay to go on organised walking tours, (I've not done that). Clean, well maintained toilet block.

We visited the place almost alone! It,s clean, and interesting to visit

Beautiful location with crystal clear water. Parking available and very well managed. Good toilets and shop

Lovely! We always go there when we are staying in Perpignan for the peace and quiet and feeling of being close to nature

Amazing park plants etc and museum

Beautiful protected beach.

We had the tasting menu with wine pairing that did not disappoint! Each course was excellent with well matched wines. The staff were efficient and friendly from when we entered to when we left. We look forward to returning!

Very good dining here, we stopped for lunch on a weekday and it was packed. Try the boar, it's an extra 10 euros but very good in my book. The desert mille feaux was also very good. I did take a picture of their menu but they asked me not to post it because some other restaurant is stealing their menu, go figure lol, so I'm respecting their wishes. Service is a little clumsy and too invasive for Americans but it's the same all over Europe. We loved the restaurant.

Splendid fine dining establishment in a nice location on the port. A few things didn’t work for me: It took them a really long time to serve us and they never apologized They had a super standoffish and snobby attitude as if their restaurant was the best anywhere The food was good but not great Still a good effort from the chef in creativity.

Yes it's expensive and there are lots of cheaper alternatives in town but this kitchen is superb: great combinations of local natural flavours.

Amazing experience, 3 hours of pure pleasure. Everything was splendid: food, atmosphere, excellent service. Thank you, team! Bon soiree and see you again soon :)

We arrived at 7:30 pm. By 9:30 pm we still hadn’t received the main dish. The same situation was happening at all (!!!) tables. Very slow: starters came almost an hour late, with breaks of more than an hour between dishes. Terrible service.

The food was good but the service good have been better for a Michelin restaurant. Certainly the waiters did their best and were really friendly but didn't know about the wines on the list, for example. Restaurant has nice view over the sea and a harbor.

Great food and service. We had the menu of the day and for the price, it’s really worth it. The dishes were of high standards and delicious. Chocolate mousse is a must.

Amazing restaurant near the sea. Great choice to have seafood dishes. We took a seafood platter and anchovies, both were delicious. Big thank you to waiters for hospitality. Highly recommended.

In the second row streets with the view to the bay and castle through the gate, this small restaurant offers an innovative French menu with a short and fair priced local wine card, and inefficient service in a classic ambiance. We were a couple for a celebratory dinner that chose the banyuls aperitivos, the outstanding gravad tuna, seafood carpaccio, Entrecote, takaki tuna, a delicious chocolate mousse, all with a fabulous local Grenache red wine, a digestive, waters and coffee for €80/pax.

Super nice and authentic experience. Frensh Mediterranean food. Price is reasonable. Clean and tidy and stylish authentic.

We had a wonderful experience here. Excellent grilled seafood at a really decent price. Waiter service was really attentive and friendly too.

Friendy people in here. It's all good with seafood and great tasting steaks

Great place in Collioure focused on seafood. I had the calamari and chorizo dish (photo), and it was great from the first to the last bite. Service is efficient and polite. Very nice wine menu as well.

Amazing to find a gem like this in little Collioure! The restaurant is small and cozy with a very professional and friendly staff. The food is beautifully and creatively presented, always with amazing flavors. I don’t know what the dessert was called but it was SO GOOD. I can’t find any negative points for this restaurant, everyone was very happy with the experience!

La Bodequita is a DO NOT MISS place in Collioure. For me it was one of THE BEST meals I have had in the 12 years living in and the additional 7 years visiting France. The menu is brief, the venue is small and cozy and the service is friendly and unhurried. And the food is delicious, inspiring, inventive and so so memerable. This is not the place to come for the same old, same old sometimes boring French food. The Chef here knows what he is doing and is willing to take risks, which, in my humble opion most French chefs don't do enough of. This is the future of French cuisine, with a global outlook and embrace.

A wonderful dining experience in a cosy, intimate setting – perfect for a romantic evening or a night out with friends. Everything was perfectly executed: the meat was cooked to perfection, and the balance of flavours was spot on. The salmon tiradito, with its slightly spicy passion fruit sauce, struck a beautiful harmony between fruity sweetness and subtle heat. The lamb was tender and perfectly pink, while the beef with Banyuls sauce was rich and full of flavour. The wine list is well curated, and the owner – clearly passionate and attentive – recommended the perfect bottle to match our dishes. All of this in a warm, welcoming atmosphere, accompanied by soft salsa music in the background. A high-quality restaurant we wholeheartedly recommend – and one we’ll definitely be returning to.

Not certain how anyone could give this beautiful restaurant less than 5 stars! The chef is an artist! We spent 2 weeks in Spain and France and this was in the top 2 meals! The service was friendly and on point! This hidden gem is a must try! We had truffle butter sushi to start, poke bowl and curry prawns for the main course along with local wine! Don’t pass this one up!

Great food and service. Particularly loved the starters (salmon and scallops), the carignan white wine and the crème brûlée which was 10/10 and the best I had - and I tried lots! Highly recommend.

Amazing food !! We went back the next day and loved it again! Very lovely staff as well in this small restaurant ! Had the poke bowl and it was just perfect 🤩

Fantastic little restaurant in the streets of Collioure. Food is of a very high standard, beautifully cooked and presented. The dishes are carefully constructed and the flavours of each ingredient allowed to shine through. Not cheap, but worth the money. Restaurant is small so may be best to book ahead in peak months.

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Not Recommended!!! We had a very unpleasant experience during our visit. We came for a wine tasting, hoping to discover something we’d enjoy, but unfortunately, we didn't like any of the wines offered. At no point were we informed that there would be a charge if we didn’t purchase anything. It was only at the end—after the tasting—that the host mentioned we had to pay because we weren't buying any bottles. This felt very dishonest and left us feeling pressured and uncomfortable. The person conducting the tasting was extremely disagreeable and pushy, creating an unwelcoming and tense atmosphere. A wine tasting should be a pleasant and informative experience—not one where guests are made to feel guilty or forced into buying something. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a genuine and enjoyable wine experience. Transparency, hospitality, and respect are key in this industry, and sadly, this place lacked all three.

Great place. Excellent location. Copious tapas and good wine. Just sad they had the workers loudly fumigating the vines right next to the restaurant while having lunch. Poor timing.

Went there for dinner at a rather quiet night, it seems. Just three other tables were booked so the restaurant felt a bit empty. The service was very nice and the food pretty good. The setting and atmosphere are truly unique with vineyards on one side and a private beach on the other. Definitely worth the trip from collioure. Plan to arrive with enough time to enjoy the beach and sunset before dinner.

We stumbled across this gorgeous eatery/winery on a walk from port vendres. The view and surroundings are simply stunning. We didn’t stay for food but we enjoyed a glass of wine. It’s a must visit if you’re in the area. Simply stunning.

Unique restaurant set amongst the vines on a small bay. Very picturesque. Beautifully prepared fresh food, top class wine and friendly attentive service. We have been here many times over the years and I must say it never disappoints.

Amazingly beautiful beachfront winery along a quiet cove between the villages of Port Vendres and Banyuls-sur-Mer. Great service … good food … nice wines … superb location! Reserve a table for lunch … dine outdoors in a relaxing and scenic atmosphere … stroll down to the cove after lunch and enjoy a leisurely afternoon at the beach. Superb!

Perfect experience, top place by the see, you must try all food from menu prepared in Josper's ovens.... and enjoy the wine from their celear....

Very beautiful but you can’t access to the house (which is the point of the visit) its all fenced up

A lovely place and garden with a lot of stories and history. I'm surprised how quiet it was in peak season I guess it was too hot for people but I found it a little Oasis from the crowds

The collection of different plant species in a well maintained botanical garden with a lovely chateau in full view

Amazing views if you walk to the top, they've recently added a small waterfall which is a nice touch! Picnics easily done with seating that is shaded by trees, also an outside play park for children

Beautiful trails for hiking and biking

Extremely disappointed. It probably has been good in the past but apart from some very attractive oleander trees, everything seemed so run down and neglected. Okay for a picnic or to take the kids but don't expect much if anything from the "gardens".

Great Park plenty sto see and good for a nice walk away from all the crowds.

The most charming and wonderful little winery! We came to visit Port-Vendres for a few days from the UK and stumbled upon this place by chance, tucked away near one of the restaurants we went to. We conversed with Guillaume over email before visiting, as I was unsure if the wine tasting would be suitable for us because our understanding of spoken French is limited. When we turned up, we were so happy and impressed with the tasting and the explanations, and really appreciated Guillaume’s efforts to help us in English, and have lovely conversation. He is so passionate about what he does, it’s really lovely to see and hear. We tried 10 wines in our sitting, and they were all wonderful! My boyfriend isn’t a wine drinker at all, but he thoroughly enjoyed the wines we tasted. Unfortunately we didn’t have the space to take much wine with us, otherwise we would have probably got each one we tried! But in the end we settled with taking a bottle of the Banyuls blanc (5th in picture) and the Banyuls Rimage (7th in picture, as a gift for my dad). Could not recommend more :) If we ever return to Port Vendres then we will certainly come back here and collect as much wine as possible to take home with us!

Wow , this place is amazing !! Probably the best place in the city to take a drink! Very afordable, high quality, in the respect of tradition.

Popped unannounced. One of the staff proceeded to open numerous bottles of wine for us. Very good quality especially the white! Came out out with an empty wallet.

Guillaume is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his wines. Great wines and experience.

Quirky, convivial, entertaining and informative not to mention the delicious wines!

(Translated by Google) We loved this cellar where we had a superb welcome. You can taste very good local wines coming directly from the producer in a magnificent setting. Many thanks for the advice (Original) Nous avons adoré cette cave ou nous avons eu un superbe accueil. On y déguste de très bons vin locaux venant directement du producteur dans un magnifique décors. Un grand merci pour les conseils

(Translated by Google) Warm welcome. Beautiful location, cool despite 40 degrees outside. The prices are very reasonable. I recommend this place! (Original) Accueil chaleureux. Lieu magnifique, au frais malgré 40 degrés dehors. Les prix sont très raisonnables. Je recommande l'adresse !

We arrived in the afternoon for some drinks after sailing in some rough weather. We just wanted to get some alcohol in our veins, but the service was absolutely horrible. The table was dirty and the waitress was kinda rude, but whatever. The first round we ordered took a long time to get, but the second was even worse. Maybe they were in between shifts or something, maybe they just didn't care about us because we were tourists and non french, but after 25 minutes we ordered again the second round. When it finally arrived after like 15 minutes more we just wanted to pay and get out. It wasn't even that full, I've worked in bars and drafting 5 beers it's like 1 minute. Or just having the courtesy of saying that it's going to take a while. It's also unsurprising but disappointing than being like 10 km from the border they can't bother to know one word in Spanish, Catalan, or English. I understand that is not a very touristy place, but it is the first port coming from Spain. I guess they just don't want us there. A very bad experience when you just want some beers and you're tired. Wouldn't go there again in my life, not even after the worst possible storm at sea

Reduced menu due to brocante today. Food was not warm let alone hot (we were not the only customer to mention this). Staff did serve the meal again and this time it was ok. It is a shame, le quai normally exceeds expectations. Let's hope this is a one off.

Nice little bar next to the quai

Good service and food

Excellent !!!

(Translated by Google) Quick reservations and very welcoming staff. The food is simply delicious, from appetizers to desserts! The waitresses are very kind, despite a few forgetful orders. I recommend this restaurant 👍🏼 (Original) Réservation rapide et personnel très accueillant. La cuisines est simplement délicieuse de l’entrée jusqu’au dessert ! Les serveuses sont très gentille, malgré quelques oublis dans les commandes. Je recommande ce restaurant 👍🏼

(Translated by Google) The best mussels in the region, a killer, the staff is super friendly, including a certain Raphaël who is endearing and knows his job, the boss is very good with his touches of humor, I highly recommend and especially the mussels and fries like nowhere else! (Original) Les meilleurs moules de la région une tuerie le personnel est super sympa don un certain Raphaël qui est attachant et qui connaît son boulot le patron est très bien avec ces pointes d’humour je recommande fortement et surtout les moules frites comme nul part !

Beautiful spot to see the sea and watch boats going in to port. There was a huge yacht there on the day which we enjoyed watching. Also, hundreds of birds diving into the sea to catch fish. Footpaths uneven but worth a walk.

Perched on the rocky edge of Port-Vendres, the ruins of the Fort de la Mauresque stand silent and proud at sunset, witness to centuries of coastal defence and maritime stories. A hidden gem for explorers seeking raw beauty, history, and breathtaking sea views.

Breathtaking views.

Get away from the hustle-bustle of the towns and find serenity!

OK

(Translated by Google) A wonderful fort combining 18th-century and 1939/1945 fortifications. Caution: Young children are advised. (Original) Merveilleux fort melangeant du 18eme et des fortifications de 39/45. Attention aux jeunes enfants.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful view. Nice walk. Be careful with children and teenagers, though, as the site is not secure. Lack of information about the ruins and tunnels... (Original) Très belle vue. Chouette balade. Attention tout de même aux enfants et aux ados car le site n'est pas sécurisé. Manque d'information sur les ruines et les tunnels...

We wanted to have lunch and we saw the reviews were good so we decided to go to this restaurant. It was a really good choice, the food was really tasty and the presentation of the dishes very nice. Also the products are good value for money. The staff is very kind and helpful. Hihgly recommended.

One of the best "menu of the day". Ever.

Great friendly restaurant who keeps its doors open in winter.. tasty daily menu..

New set menu every day, typed and dated, usually a sign that someone really cares about the food being fresh and good value, separates La Tramontane from many of the other local restaurants. Great service, fantastic starters and salads, lovely house wine, especially the white, which is local and much cheaper than elsewhere. Really recommend this place.

We had a nice dinner on a friendly atmosphere.

Great food and friendly staff ! Home made daily meals. They propose fish or meat dishes.

Don’t expect opening times on Google to match reality. Sunday late February, 20.45 kitchen closed. And don’t expect any service orientation either. Instead of trying to help you out or recommend something else they are only telling you that you are late and that it makes total sense for them to close the kitchen well before 9 PM.

It is our favourite restaurant when we have a special event to celebrate in Port Vendres. The restaurant had to close early November due to the Covid lockdown regulations by the government but adapted rapidly with take-aways for Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. 20€ for their 2-course and 25€ for 3-course menu. You need to order in advance by phone or at their restaurant. Prices are more than reasonable considering the quality gastronomic dishes. We ordered the grilled calamars and prawns for starters, white fish with mushroom cream risotto and chocolate dessert and everyone was delighted. Our neighbours and friends shared the same opinion. The 3-course Christmas menu was at 36€ and extended to the 3rd January. It was just heavenly! I had the poached oysters on a bed of fresh fish tartar and I believe to be finely chopped cucumbers which was delicious, monkfish for main dish which I savoured and the raspberry dessert was sheer pleasure. We chose different dishes on Christmas eve and everyone was extremely pleased. I only managed to photograph a few of our dishes (not all as we helped ourselves immediately). Each dish was served in a high quality adapted for reheat in the oven or microphone and packed in nice white boxes and a box for transport despite being 200 metres from the restaurant we took the car since it was an order for 6 pax.

Superb food in a really nice environment. The staff are friendly, the menu is great value.

This restaurant is well located right on the quay in Port Vendre. The two young waiters were friendly and attentive. The choice of music was excellent and it created a warm ambiance. What let this establishment down was the over priced mediocre food. Small quantities of forgettable food. We will never go back.

Avoid. Rude service from the waitress and waiter who had lost our booking and thought it was hilarious and were sarcastic. Very slow service, no bread offered to us at all during the meal. We eat at lots of restaurants from the Michelin guide, the food was awful, over cooked and tasteless, certainly not up to the standard of the other restaurants we've been to this holiday and in the past. Very surprised this is in the Michelin guide. Two stars given as the setting is lovely however.

Reserved a table on the terrace but reception refused to accept we had done so. Sat at the counter while two tables remained empty the entire time. Also added two desserts to the bill that were included in the set menu. Staff were pleasant and helped to organise a taxi. Food was good but very unremarkable. We’ve eaten here on each trip but this will be the last time.

Great food and service!

Great food 3 course meal and a good selection of wine. Fab evening setting and great attentive staff.

I'm not giving 5 stars because it took them more than 1 hour to get the food into the table, luckily we were not that hungry and it was easy to wait.

Very nice pancakes 🥞 and the wraps were good 👍🏼 tooZ

Long, long long, service trrrrrooooooop long.

Excellent

(Translated by Google) It was incredible, we weren't expecting it! We weren't supposed to go there in the first place, but as we were walking past... It caught our eye!! We ate so well, with a great atmosphere and impeccable service!! It was impossible to have dessert; we were so full. We can't wait to come back! (Original) C’était incroyable, on ne s’y attendait pas ! Nous ne devions pas aller la de base, mais en passant devant …. Ça nous a tapé dans l’œil!! On a tellement bien mangé, bonne ambiance et service impeccable !! Impossible de prendre un dessert, on était bien rassasié. Déjà hâte de revenir
