Blue Beach draws a devoted crowd of locals who appreciate that the restaurant is reliably open all year for lunch. Even in the dead of winter when restaurants up and down the baie des anges are shuttered, you can count on Blue Beach for lunch or an early evening drink.

As this was the day after the 15 August national holiday fireworks, the beach-restaurant was nearly empty which no doubt contributed to the relaxed, friendly service. The bartender prepared a most respectable mojito while I poured over the menu. I ordered the salmon in a saffron cream sauce and was pleased with my choice. The salmon was grilled on the outside and tender on the interior and the sauce complemented it perfectly. I liked the vegetable flan, gratinéed potatoes and ratatouille on the side which made the main course nicely balanced and filling. At €19, I found it good value for money and wouldn't hesitate to eat there again. Jeanne August 16 2013 MapRecommended ToursQuestions? Comments?
