La Fourmi Du Levant - Hyères

Second visit in a week but this time things got tough because we chosed a Sea bream that was nothing to speak of, well cooked well presented but the taste.. Moreover the service was chaotic maybe because there were 2 big tables to serve, we waited so long that we didn't arrive st the dessert, won't come back for sure

Food was amazing, we had lobsters, scalops and shrimps

We (mixed gender couple) very much enjoyed having lunch and dinner at La Fourmi on the Ile du Levant. In addition to the quality of the food and of the service already remarked on by many others, we especially liked the fact that at La Fourmi it is possible, not unusual, and even encouraged by the owners to remain nude, as is appropriate on a naturist island. During lunch, many people remained nude; at dinner time, we and one other (gay) couple were the only completely nudes, but the dress code ranged from us via see-thru and quite sexy dresses to fully clothed. Everybody accepted everybody else; that was the beauty of it. By the way, the waiter is dressed in a leather apron, that covers his front but leaves his backside free! He is also an extremely friendly guy. We cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.

This is a really fun place to eat, but do not be deceived, the cuisine is excellent. The menu is constantly changing and offers a variety of French dishes, including classic meat and fish, often with a small twist which adds variety and excitement. The staff are welcoming and fun and the service is good. The restaurant itself is well-appointed and it is possible to eat inside or outside in gentle shade. The sun terrace is superb for aperitifs. The wine list is comprehensive, with local and other wines.

For a variety of reasons we were probably the worst customers any restaurant could ever have. Yet, through it all the restaurant's top priority was making sure we were having a good time. Here's what happened: We're traveling on a private boat and wanted to dine at the restaurant and get back to the boat before dark. Thus, we showed up at the restaurant before they were open, but they seated us anyhow. And, because we had dogs on the boat and they needed a walk we brought our two dogs. Unfortunately, our dogs, and the restaurant dog didn't mix well, and our dogs had to be held throughout the meal in order to avoid their screaming. We kept apologizing and the restaurant kept assuring us it wasn't a problem at all. We then noticed the wind coming up and got in a panic to return to the boat. We asked if we could get the food as fast as humanly possible preferably with the check. We probably ate in under 15 minutes, and it was 100% our own fault. The food was exceptional. I had Soupe de Poisson and Linguine with Lobster, and my wife had an interesting looking vegetable crumble along with lasagna. The portions were large, prices reasonable, and as I noted the waiter was incredible. We felt welcomed and will return the next time we are in the area. As with everywhere on the island... dinner was casual but, it was also quite elegant, and the tables inside the restaurant have an amazing view!. Recommended!
