Gio - Sanary-sur-Mer

An excellent pavement cafe for people watching, croissant Cafe with good view of the market and harbour. Just run of the mill with tourist prices but this was where artists and writers fled to , to escape Nazi persecution. Sanary sur Mer gave birth...to many literary works as is witnessed by the near by commemorative plaque

This place is fairly new to Sanary, and really new to us. Recommended by my nephew, who liked the pretty cool vibe, we booked a table for 4 adults and a young child. You 'd think you were in a Manchester Northern Quarter bar, with the...decor and the wall writing, and there is a lot of English 'stuff ' about but quite nicely done and not trying too hard. The furniture is characterful and the overall design pretty well put together. Staff are attentive and efficient, and we got a drinks order in straight away and a good overview of the menus too no actual menus, just the options on the chalkboards, which keeps the whole feel simple and easy. Strawberry mojitos and an interesting craft beer from Luberon, for drinks the beer bottle thoughtfully served in its own little ice bucket, and with a branded glass from the brewery. Nice touch. Three of us went for the black burger (it 's the bread that 's kinda black the burger itself is chicken with bacon), served with a very generous salad and home cooked chips. One went for the salmon, and our littlest guest was promptly served with chicken bites and chips. The place really fills up at 9pm, and it 's not in our experience a 'walk in ' kind of restaurant. One negative to mention there is a smoking area outside in the back garden, but all the gorgeous smokers just gather barely at the door to it, so if you 're anywhere near the back of the restaurant you will get their second hand smoke.

Beautiful, trendy informal, young place. a refreshing little backyard for her apperetif. good eating. they have a good choice of weeping on the display (and for sale). you choose your wine bottle.

I had a meal here and it was great! not only eating, but all the atmosphere and the mood were great. packed on Wednesday night, so something says. I'm pretty sure there was only one waitress and she was amazing! she had. everything was completely in control. loved the fact that, although the place was packed the acoustics were so good, they could hear each other talking! makes such a difference! decorate them too clever and very quirky. I love this place!

Very good atmosphere in this chic restaurant (tasteful furnishings). eating was perfect (over min expected level for this opposite). I recommend this place not occupied during our visit, but this has not affected our satisfaction.
