M5 - Toulon

We were in Toulon as part of a cruise stop. We wanted to spend the day at the beach but the weather was not really beach weather. We had made reservations here before porting, and thought we should still check it out. It is about...a 25 minute walk from the cruise port (where the ferry drops you off). There is a straight shot that takes you up and over a large hill, or you can go around the hill for a little bit longer route both take about the same time. The beaches of Mourillion are very beautiful. I can imagine on a hot sunny day the water being crystal blue and thousands of people laying on the beach. That was not our day, it was nice, but only a handful of people at the beach. We arrived right about noon to M5 and were promptly greeted by Yann (I believe that is his name). He was incredibly nice and very accommodating to us American Tourists. It was clear we were out of the tourists section as we were handed menus in French. We tried our best to interpret it, but after struggling asked for English menus and they were available. Menu was had a wide variety of options. To an American, it seemed more heavier, as if they didn 't have a lunch menu, but this was their only menu. Which was fine. I ordered the Scallops and my husband ordered the burger. We were served a starter of toast points with a tuna salad spread that was fantastic (coming from someone who cannot stand canned tuna, this is a huge compliment). Our food arrived and it was stunning. The plating was really nice and the food was equally delicious. My scallops were served with almost a caramel sauce with hazelnuts on top. A unique flavor combination I had never had but thought they worked really well. It was served with a side of mashed potatoes and veggies. My husbands burger was really good. He ordered it medium, and was more on the medium rare side, but was quite good. It had a really nice sauce on it and was served with fantastic french fries (they were more like potato wedges). We sat outside and the weather was lovely. By the time we left at 1pm the place was filled with locals, tourists, and business lunches. The view of the beach and the water was quite lovely and felt very South of France . If you are in the area, it is worth the visit.

We walked to the beach from our hotel and had a drink in the afternoon. The hotel we were staying at Hotel Les Voiles. The waiter was so friendly and the location so ideal that we decided to walk back for dinner. We were not...disappointed. We had the same waiter and the same table, and the food was excellent. They had a good menu and the table wine was also very good. It was a very wonderful and romantic location and we'd go back in a flash!

One of the better on the beach a little more expensive but worth every penny very friendly staff, very good eating with perfect presentation. the seafood were very fresh and tasty, disappointed not at all. I come back every year and it's always good.

This restaurant never disappoints. good selection of drinks and a good menu. my personal favorites must be the croque m5 and their incredible burger de thon. great location and great service

Enjoy our a relaxing gypsy night. the tapas were fresh and tasty, not the usual menu. the personal efficient and friendly and the 3 pieces cigeuner kings style band played and sang and pulled around the bar / dining room. atomosphere good with music fans. drinks. the usual selection and cocktails. view over the beach and the sea to st mandrier. good night. while this night was one, my friends here in toulon say that the place has a good call. I'll try the record de jour tomorrow.
