Les Anais - Valras-Plage

If you are a British expat living in Languedoc i can well understand Friday

We were staying at a nearby campsite and passed this each evening on our way to have crepes at the beach. The menu looked good value and the place was always packed out with locals (always a good sign to me) so we visited on our last night. Two adults and two children moules marinere and frites all round despite it being busy we were served very quickly and the waiter was friendly and spoke good English which was handy as my French is rubbish! It's a little bit away from the seafront and location is not as scenic but much cheaper - the rest of the menu looked good too but most people order what we had so I guess that's what they do best! Definitely go here if you are visiting and want a nice meal.

So me and my mate turned up, but they we were full. The waitress shrugged her shoulders indifferently and told us to come back later. Returning after a drink, we hung around for 20 minutes, only to have some chap and his wife elbow us out the way to get to the table first. We got a table ten minutes later. Others in the restaurants were served and sorted and we were ignored. The staff ignored us completely, chatting to their friends and customers at other tables. We were not given menus, offered drinks etc. They didn't even look up when we left five minutes later. It might be cheap, but the service is buttock-clenchingly abyssmal. There are much better options in the town. This place doesn't deserve to stay in business.

Very busy at all times but very good value for money and slightly off the main drag. Bit of a wait but hey on holiday and worth it
