Auberge Lou Courtal des Vidals

Ate outside in week without booking for 6 but needed to have booked to eat outside at weekend. Greatest buffet for starter or mains. Main course from menu extensive choice but limited for vegetarians. Really recommend it.

Our second visit. When you know this is a happy, casual place and it's best to take advantage of the wonderful buffet and wine - you've made it. Delicious food. And wine I stock up on to remind me of the warmth of this area.

We had seen good reviews so thought we'd give it a go! We were not disappointed! Really good, local food (amazing buffet)! and wine and huge amounts! The musical entertainment was brilliant fun and we were enthusiastically included (without being intruded upon)! We had a brilliant time (at a really good price, too) Will definitely return :-)

Visited vidals restaurant with my family at beginning of July. Had seen the good reviews on trip advisor . My teenagers were a bit iffy about the buffet but they loved it as much as we did. Great food . Lovely starter buffet and fabulous desert selection.wine was very good and very reasonably priced. Loved the friendly service and welcome including the saxophone music . Really nice family run restaurant. Would highly recommend anyone to go, if in Fitou area.

We never fail to pay a visit to Vidals on our trips to Fitou. The menu for 2017 has changed a little but the amazing buffet is still as good as ever. Sadly it was a bit too windy to sit in the courtyard this time but the atmosphere inside is very good. Three of our party had the buffet to start and I resisted the temptation in favour of waiting for my main course. All ordered the fillet steak and enjoyed a decent sized piece of meat which was cooked exactly as ordered. As ever, grandpa entertained us with his saxophone and all in all we had a great night.

A great welcome from three generation of the family who work in the restaurant. The buffet is something else! Such a selection, it's a feast on its own. Be careful not to eat too much from the buffet or you have little room for your main course.The atmosphere is very friendly with many nationalities on show. The grandfather plays something to suit everybody on his old saxophone.The wine from their own vineyards and managed by one of the grandson is excellent. So good we took a couple of cases with us for the rest of the hoilday.I reccommend you go hungry. Enjoy.

Other people in my party like this place so much we went back twice. I was not as impressed. The courtyard is lovely but the tables feel a bit packed in. Inside was more spacious but not as nice as outside.The owner greets everyone like old friends and this is the focus and charm of the restaurant.There is an extensive buffet, but as a pescatarian I struggle with buffets and meat is added to so many dishes. There were lots of fish dishes but not so many vegetarian dishes. The set menus were more limited for fish eaters but meat eaters had lots of choiceOn the second visit, there was a long wait for the desert as they were too busy (Friday night).The young lady that served us for the first pa...

We were recommended to come here by our hosts. I booked over the phone in my very bad french and they called back to confirm. We arrived and were impressed by the atmosphere and ambiance straight away. We were welcomed, given menus and drinks arranged. There were other families arriving as we did and its clear its a popular place for couples and families. We ordered the buffet and set menu's. Our daughter was a little limited in the foods she liked (there was a lot of seafood- but that's a great thing)! but was impressed with the choice of desserts. All of our food was out of this world! The wine was also made at the restaurant and was great. The owners father also plays the Saxophone for ev...

We were very much looking forward to our meal here but left feeling very disappointed. The service is amateurish at best. We love to sit for hours in a restaurant but when a lot of that is just waiting for your order to be taken or your wine to arrive or someone to bring the salt it wears a bit thin. So, the best bet here is the set menus that have a buffet starter and dessert with a choice of main course. Theres plenty of food but my issue is one of sacrificing quality over quantity-. Its all pretty dull and mediocre fair - even the specials ( terrine and cod which were less than average, my 13 year old could have done better). The price we paid was 28.50 euros per head plus wine and soft d...
