"Good setting, nice ambience, great tasting menu (no choices but caters for food allergies) locally sourced, well prepared presented, outstanding service. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening; comes highly recommend by us!"
This is the only Michelin one star restaurant in Sete, so it was not surprising that it was tough to get a table. There’s no menu. Everyone gets the same courses for €65. On arrival we were given a couple of nice nibbles. Very subtle and they had a nice after taste about 20 seconds after it goes down. Always a good sign. We were warned that everything would be fish, although I think the self taught chef does use meat judging from some TripAdvisor reviews. Next came a piece of raw hake circling an oyster. There was also an oyster shell with a nutty foam (or ‘cloud’ as Chef called it she really gets involved with her guests, always with a smile! . It was only as we got through most of the clou...

We enjoyed our dinner at La Coquerie, with high quality food and ingredients, but dishes didn't feel overly creative.The things we liked a lot:- Very nice outside setting with sea view- Very approachable chef who greets all the guests and serves some of the dishes herself- Desserts were amazing- Wine list felt very affordable for Michelin starred restaurantWhat could have been better- Only one amuse bouche (Fried Soy Leaves that were delicious) and very basic mignardises- We like the concept of only one, ever changing, menu (Les Yeux Fermes), but would actually be nice to see the menu before hand, to choose the wine. Also we only realized at end that one of the 6 courses was just the coffee-...

Anne Majourel is a passionate cooker and an incredible host. She made us enjoy every bite of her special menu at La Coquerie. We drove from Barcelona to Sete mainly for the oysters, but the highlight from our trip was this place. I really recommend it. We have had other Michelin Star experiences in France and we were a little disappointed, but this time the star is absolutely well deserved. Also the mood is very, very nice and the team is extremely friendly. Anne herself came to say hello and we talked about the gastronomic scene in Barcelona. I would absolutely recommend this place.
Having been coming to Sète for a number of years, we had heard of this restaurant’s reputation but that had not prepared us for the delightfulness of the experience. No menu, the proposition is straightforward; the chef chooses what is in season and decides for you. We had said that we eat fish but not meat and this didn’t present any problem. And then the delights started. If l had to pick a particular highlight, it was the tuna and smoked mackerel with parmesan ice cream. Simply stunning! The service is attentive and warm. Go to this restaurant for a memorable evening.
La coquerie is a very great surprise : a crescendo of tastes from fish to meat. Tartare d'huitres Philemon etc Mugello d'etang, then maquereau saisi to go to a sumptuous boeuf Wellington to conclude with local fromages of unique taste. Wines: aoc champagne, aoc Chablis, aoc Haut Medoc and Soc chatonneuf du pape and finally a great Catalan :the sparkling Cava.Simply superb. The hospitality and the ambience were unmatchable!!10+

Small cosy restaurant with superb delicious seafood and service. Only one service at 20:00 hrs and a fixed menu at 65 euros, but worth every cent. Fresh local food prepared by the owner -Anne. Absolutely need a reservation. A top restaurant in Sete
