Meat dishes will cost between 17 and 23 euros. Children are certainly not forgotten, as a kids’ menu priced at 11 euros is specially available for them. To accompany the meals, a refreshing drink is welcome. Prices range from 2.30 euros for a coffee to 10 euros for a cocktail, with a soda at 4 euros and draft beer at 3.50 euros.
However, ambiance isn’t everything, as the private beach “Le Blue Beach” has seen a 15% drop in its clientele compared to last year.
