L'Aquarium - Leucate

Went on a busy Saturday night with a reservation and were greeted warmly and seated promptly. Very fair priced menu with many options from the sea and land. Tried some tapas and mixed seafood. I would recommend sticking to the delicious fresh oysters and shrimp. The oysters were incredibly fresh, deep cup, salty and firm. Soooo delicious! And the shrimp were cooked perfectly and retained their flavor and texture. Friendly service. Didn’t have dessert. We will return!!

After eating at the neighboring restaurant for two lunches, we wanted to try this somewhat bigger place due what seemed to be a bigger menu. We were so disappointed. The staff were extremely rude and the oysters didn 't have the same size and quality as the restaurant we had been to next door (the one with the dragon). When asking for a glass of water the waiter first said no but later came out with a dirty plastic cup. The table next to us were however served normal glasses and baguettes (which looked very tasty compared to the stale slices of defrosted loaf we got). Maybe it was about us not being French?

One of the great parade of Oyster shacks lining the inlet from the Med, this is really good grub cheap, too! Ever fresh seafood to satisfy the soul

This is one of about 20+ oyster shacks between Leucate Plage and Port Leucate in France Centred around rive gauche and rive droit. Oysters freshly prepared, slice of lemon, glass of wine, fresh bread puts posh London oyster bars to shame, have the real thing at a fraction of the price, sit in the sun and enjoy, also oysters to take away, big bag for 5€.

We spend up to 6 weeks every other year at Village Oasis, which is a 15 minute walk. Deux douzaine huitres grosses and local vin blanc is our usual lunch. Always great and never disappointed.
