nice setting nice service(from which the 3 stars ) against the kitchen does not unfortunately follow in any case tonight because it may vary from one cook to another. The rates are affordable certe but it doesn’t prevent to have a minimum waiting on the dishes.I’m a craft cook I think I can be objective (I don’t take myself for a chef just small simple things make the difference). the products are fresh for some and of good quality but a multitude of small things spoil the dishes and it is damage . entrance salmon lawyer ceviche. the huge and poorly detailed pieces raise salmon garlands, and black parts of the salmon that normally avoid serving ... not salted ... damage. the carpaccio served...
It´s always difficult to pick a place if you are in a town you don´t know. We picked the Hippocampe because we liked the menu, the pricing, the location and look. When we arrived it was very quiet, just one more table with tourists. Changed...very fast and the restaurant started to fill very quickly. The place seems to be popular, good sign. Efficient and fast service (friendly? Not sure), good food, bill as expected, We had menues, arrived quickly. Starters: fish soup was not really hot. Microwave? Still good. Very good tomato tatar! Main dishes good as well, forgot though what we had.
Having reserved a table, and found all the other tables taken when we arrived, we assumed we would have a good meal. 15 minutes later we were still waiting to be acknowledged. The waitress resembled a surly teenager. 45 minutes later we still had no...wine, no bread, and no starters . Two bowls of luke-warm fish soup finally arrived which we sent back, only to be told we were wrong! At this point we decided to leave. The bill included the soup, which we had not eaten, and the restaurant insisted we should pay for it. We left 10 euros for the aperitifs and left. Never again.
there are so many restaurants that choose in this city, so go where the masses are, is in the rule a good opportunity to choose. the day I went her meal is a couscous and 4 meat dish that was all the others at the place. to escape and that looked amazing. I didn't feel so many different meats, so I decided to fish formula. fish was perfectly cooked with a white sauce and there were some delicious grilled zucchini accompanied. dessert was a beautiful tarte pomme with a dab of whipped cream. service was excellent and the location directly on the water can not beat.

The three of us ordered three different kinds of seafood platters and we were not disappointed. The preparation was swift, the meals were perfectly cooked and the 50 cl bottle of rose was perfectly paired with our various seafood dishes. The large platters of gambas...and fish were served with rice and a small salad. The results were three clean plates, the sauces and delicate Provencal flavors having been mopped up with bread. As for price-performance, we all had wonderful meals for a fair price! We'll return to L'Hippocampe another day!
a nice restaurant with a nice terrace. service is not the best but they are still professional. We both took the hippocampe menu and we were not disappointed. entrance, dish and dessert for a price more than honest. We went out having eaten well but not too much. perfect for a little party before going to the evening market. Don't forget to book if you want to be sure to eat there.
we stopped by chance in this restaurant without special expectations. we were pleasantly surprised, nice setting on the port of sanary. good and hearty meals, and correct price especially with several options ( dessert plate or other..).Personal pleasant and welcoming that can change some other restaurants nearby.
the important is to get a table in terrace, facing the port. Then, everything goes on without false steps. a pastis, then the perfect fisherman's pot. the wine list is medium.For desserts ... read my other reviews on the ideal place ...
