Can't really recommend this place based on the service. If you're looking for a tourist trap with waiters that think they own the yachts outside on the port, then step right in.
Le Girelier's strong point and downfall is that they're a service 'non-stop' type of place. Which means they're open for lunch and dinner and that time in between. Arab time. And that's when we went, obvs. But the vibe was totally off. The head waiter was having a rough day and so we had a rough experience.
This was the first time I've ever been at a French restaurant where the entree and the main dish arrived simultaneously. The absolute horror! The disgrace of it all! My poor brother clawed his escargots out of their shell only to follow it up with a tepid 60€ bouillabaisse! And my sister received her main dish after we've all finished ours! It's a crime I tell you!!
I however had a pleasant al dente pasta. The interesting thing about the dish is its called "al dente spaghetti" with tomato, so if they over cook the pasta...then that's not the correct dish. But thankfully the kitchen were on point, even if the staff in the restaurant were frazzled and bored. Yes bored.
I can assure you that Mr. Hon Hon Hon got a measly tip! Never again!
