"Wandering grumpily around the town, having missed the apparently obligatory 3pm lunchtime curfew, we came upon this vine-covered place on a side-street. It was this, the Indian, or nothing, so with no expectations we took a seat. Now, to be frank, we struck lucky with...the service, because an extremely nice bloke was on hand immediately, and eager to help; it turned out he 's the son of the owner, and a chef in his own right, but helping out the family over Easter. (If I could remember his name I 'd give him a plug! The waitress who helped out was movie-star gorgeous and super friendly. Her dad owns a shop 100 metres away! The first promising sign was that it 's a short menu. The second being the fact that the 'usual ' camargue dishes hardly featured. Cutting to the chase, the food was brilliant and creative (mussels with seaweed was a revelation! . Reading the other reviews I have a certain sympathy, because the second visit we were served by the daughter of the house, who really should demand a refund from her charm-school. Mum is a Miriam Margolies lookalike, and I imagine, a toughie. But the star of the show is Papa. A simply lovely bloke, and totally committed to his calling. Shy and diffident by nature, but full of charm when warmed-up. He 's the image of his equally charming but well-traveled aforementioned son! This place is 'real ', and not a tourist trap. That and papa 's cooking make it special."
