If there's one thing the French know how to do, it's food. Well this place doesn't. The one thing it's supposed to do well, squid as per the name, was one of the blandest meals I've had in France in the one year I've been living here. I tried the platter of all squid varieties and only the squid in its ink was something that could pass off by French food standards as acceptable. Add to that the fact that such a platter will set you back €21 and that all other mains are similarly priced (the fish platter was €19 and only the bream was acceptable but very salty) and it doesn't leave much to the imagination that this place is quite possibly a well located (it's on the main road) tourist trap.

Passing near the restaurant by chance we stopped there attracted by the name of restaurant and the outside standing menu. The staff was very kind and helpful by choosing the wright meal,polite and very quickly. As appetizer we choose oysters,yammi as everywhere in this region. The main meal grilled calamari with tasty black pasta with lentiles and house-maid olive oil sauce with garlic and herbs. Desert of the day I tried after the recommendation of Jam,the owner of the restaurant. It was delicious too and very special-icecream of reglisse/liquoric stick./ With food we drank rose,manually picked grapes,also delicious and finishing the lunch Jam invited us for a rum of Guadelup
4 of us had dinner at Le Calamar en Folie (the stupid sqiud) and we had a lovely evening. As it had been dry for a long while, the etang had dried up, but the sunset made up for that! 2 of us ordered Gaspacho for starter and were surprised to see it was made principally with beetroot. Rather unusual. The rest of the meal went well, the staff were very good as well. English, French and Spanish spoken. All in all a very worthy place to have dinner. Easy car parking next to the restaurant.

This Restaurant is something totally special on all levels. The owner and his wife greets you as long lost friends when you arrive, the food is tasteful and beautifully arranged, the atmosphere is laid back and warm. The surroundings are magnificent especially at sunset. But most of all the owners and the staff are so positive and will do anything to please you....it is impossible to leave this place without a smile on your face and a wish to come back.
We come at la Franqui since nearly 40 years. We have discovered "Le Calamar en folie" tonight for the first time and we are very happy to dicover this restaurant which is located opposite to where we live.I ate mussels with parsley butter, squids with chorizo and pannacota for dessert. The food was delicious, the service good and I will come back. The restaurant was full and the owners deserve it, they are very nice.
I had my 60 birthday party at Calemare en Folie, and what a party....everything from the welcome cocktail with tapas to the 3 course dinner was outstanding....the staff was on there toes all night and did all they could to make my birthday memorable.I have never experience everything like this and can only reckomend the restaurant with all my heart. Thank you for giving me a memory for life. See you very soon again.
What a surprise, this lovely restaurant close to La Franqui. The view is beautiful and the restaurant looks nice, but the food and the people make all the difference. The dishes are special and ambitious, but well prepared and very tasty. The pleasant owners/staff give your stay and your lunch or diner an extra dimension. Highly recommended!

This is the place for seafood. Excellent menu and squid all different ways are excellent. The fish sampler is brilliant too. Jam is always the gracious host and looks after his 'guests ' well. Little off the beaten track but absolutely well worth going to find it.
Amazing food with great service and ambiance! The restaurant is beautiful and on the water, such a nice place.
