"A very nice find and experience. Quality and flavor over quantity leaves you satisfied. Perhaps the best tarte tatin I’ve had."

"In the middle of Argelès, close to the main street with all the shops and the sea, you'll find this nice restaurant serving typical catalan food and sea food. Mussels with aïoli were awesome"

"Very good cooking, fair prices and the cooks made us feel welcome before opening. Still, the waitress acted impatient with us, did not ask us for new drinks and didn’t check if everything’s allright with the food. Considering the nice food, that’s quite a shame on the overall customer experience."

"I've been here once only. Really tasty food. I've tried burger and the sauce is brilliant, a bit sweet but sour in fact. Beer suggested by the waiter, Ambree Triple, sound strong at first sip but has surprisingly sweet finish. Recommend :)"

"We spontaneously found this place and decided to eat here. The food was excellent! We had the tuna 'sashimi' main and baked camembert. The White sangria was one of the best I've ever had. One of the best places we've eaten in France. Service was good and they spoke English as well with an English menu which was appreciated. I would definitely recommend this place. The atmosphere was okay - a bit on the average side because it's close to the main road with lots of traffic, hooting and motorcycles."

"One of the best meals I've had since the Maldives. Titaki Tuna off the set menu was exceptional, and over the several times we ate at Chez Denise it always impressed. Tomato salad pictured was also one of the best dishes we've ever had."
