Brasserie de le Digue - Tourgéville

I wish I could express how awful this place is, but I'm afraid it's impossible. No, really, there are so many things to complain about, that I just got a bad mood remembering of this place.

We have gone to this brasserie numerous times over the last 9 years and it seems to just keep sliding downhill. They specialise in seafood and have daily specials. The food is OK, the moules have always been fresh and good but they are very expensive for a casual and dated brasserie. There was a time when a new manager came in and it seemed to improve but we haven't seen him this last year. In the first week of June, during the hot holiday weekend we went to have a late lunch. We sat down and were noticed by a waitress. After 15 minutes she finally gave us a menu. After 25 minutes she had not even attempted to come and get our order. We sat for a further 5 minutes and she did not even appear in our area. Needless to say we left. If you go here and it's busy, nag at the waiting staff. If you go during a quiet time, be careful as many items may be 'unavailable.' Shame about it since it's in a lovely location and is a perfect place to take the family. Perhaps they will get someone new to manager it properly!

Very limited menu and if you do not eat fish, avoid. Also costly: two smoked salmon 'platters' each contained one slice, plus toast and creamy dressing. The plus a bottle of water costs almost £60 a lot for a café. Capitalization on the beach.

We had a nice meal here. The food was good, the location is nice. But the service is incredibly slow. It was busy and it seems there was only one waitress for a huge area. We waited long to see the menu when we waited... long to order. Luckily we were not in a hurry and the food was good.

We were careful after bad reviews, do not believe the hype! The food was nice, served on the beach and the staff was friendly. Had a varied menu and visited several times during our two-week stay.
