La Tete d'Ail - Table reservation

If you're in the area definitely look for this place. It's easy to miss because it's in a sea of outdoor restaurants but it's not the average anything.

Read the reviews and intrigued by the mussels. Very helpful staff - the first time we tried they were full so booked for the following night. They made sure we had a good table.

The only slight reservation was that the fish soup had a lot of salmon in it. Perhaps not an issue for some but we live in Scotland.

This lunch has been an excellent experience. Excellent food, excellent wine and excellent service. I strongly recommend the smoked mussels "(moules à l'esclade)" either as an appetizer or as a main course and the fish of the day (usually cooked "à la barigoule" - which is a preparation with artichoke and is amazing).

Charming restaurant with super service and a delicious menu. Smoked mussels were amazing, and my Wife's salmon delicious. The house wine was fine, and the final Williamine granite was wonderful. Highly recommended.
