L Aparte - Toulon

Wonderful meal and wonderful people. the burgers are really amazing, but the three desserts we enjoyed were spectacular!

It starts from the first impression of the perfect service and welcome. we have been explained with the complete menu that is not great, but they have a selection of vegetarian, fish, local meat, burger and various desserts.

This small restaurant is very cosy, small tables in a small room. You feel well! Service is easy going and friedly. We had a menu lunch: a very tasty soupe with vegetable pie and salade. For desert café gourmand. The dish was very tasty and...very much home made , which we really appreciated. Desert was a choice of delicious small bites. The atmosphere was just right for a vegetarian lunch!

Visited L 'aparte for lunch while in Toulon for stop on a Mediterranean cruise. I had a chicken burger sandwich that was out of this world. My wife had an unbelievable asparagus dish with an amazing cold zucchini, mint, and almond powder soup. The waiter interpreted...the French menu for us even though he did not speak English as well as waiters in Paris.

Being on a cruise with 12 hours or less in a port usually means spending some time in advance to finding good out of the way quirky and interesting places to sample local cuisine without the usual restaurant hawkers shouting at you in multiple languages...serving everything to everyone. Well here is one place where we literally happened to be standing under the awning to get out of the rain when I opened my trip advisor app to find us a place to eat while the rain stopped 1st place that popped up near me and was in the top 5 was L 'Aparte and there we were standing under its awning. The owner was just coming out to open for the day.. What luck so we went in to dry off and get something to eat. Reviews were really spot on. The owners husband and wife team told us they prepare 5 menu items per day to keep it fresh and manageable since they source everything from the local markets. Place is small maybe seats 20 inside. Food was fresh, very flavorful and wonderfully prepared. The host and staff were incredibly friendly, it really felt like sitting in someones home with the warm homey and quirky atmosphere of the place. Would easily recommend to friends and family.
