10/10This charming little restaurant was everything we had hoped for in this lovely town. Husband is a fish lover- I am not but both of us had a wonderful meal. Quieter, and out of the main area, it was a lovely evening.

9.5/10Friendly service, excellent seafood ( anchovies, mussels, sea bream and John Dory) which was accompanied by a lovely crisp carafe of rose. I had got our booking time wrong and had’t realised we were late until we got back to our hotel and picked up an email from The Fork, so apologies to the restaurant. We ate here a few years ago and were glad we returned.

10/10Great food, great service but allow yourself time as run by a husband and wife team…. I think so under pressure at busy times.

10/10Very good meal - lovely fresh seafood. Chef came to the table to check if we were enjoying the meal. Excellent service. We had three evening meals in Collioure and this was by some way the best.

10/10We had a lovely meal by this family run restaurant. It’s very personal and great friendly service. The food was excellent, we had the beef scewers that were cooked perfectly, so tender. The crème brûlée to finish was to die for.

10/10Such a gem in Collioure. Away from the beach tucked away. Very good food, fresh seafood. The best fish soup I’ve had! Friendly service and the chef came to each table. Happy to visit again!!

10/10The welcome was friendly as was the service throughout the evening. We were not rushed and were able to determine when our dessert arrived. The portions were of a good size and the food was beautifully cooked. The chef came into the restaurant a number of times during the evening to check that diners were enjoying their food. Excellent!

8/10Really kind welcome, nice atmosphere in the sea style, light blue restaurant. Service was extremely friendly, fast (even though she was, on her own with quite a handful of people to serve) and the food was great genuine local fresh food. The cook came to the table to ensure himself customers were happy. Recommend without hesitation.

10/10This family run restaurant proved to be an exceptional experience with an ambitious creative chef using local produce and sticking to regional dishes, but with an individual twist! His charming wife was a superbe host and took very good care of the many guests in a highly personal and amiable way! In the end we really felt like at home! Since this was a birthday dinner we will in fact never forget this marvelous dinner - and we will certainly return!

10/10Restaurant of Excellence. The restaurant itself is very light and attractive with a calm and relaxing ambience the food is freshly and perfectly cooked to order. Beatiffully presented with much attention to detail. Service faultless. Sets the standard at a very high level. Have already booked to go back again.

8/10The service was good. Ambience pleasant. Food was ok but nothing special. Bouillabaisse that we had seen advertised was not on the menu today which was a disappointment. The house wine was not as good as it could be. There are excellent table wines available in boxes locally cheaply. It was a cold night and the restaurant was not warm enough. The food was good but unimaginative. There was nothing that gave it that extra something that would raise it above other restaurants with similar prices and we had had a more interesting meal for considerably less in another local eatery. So perfectly adequate but given the competition nothing to take you back.

bonjour merci d avoir apprécier notre service et notre repas pour ce qui concerne vos commentaire nous allons faire une petite rectification de vos propos, notre bouillabaisse n étais pas servie car comme vous l avait indiquer nous avions un mauvais temps et donc mes pêcheur locaux ne sont pas sortie, donc je ne pouvait vous servir de la pêche local et il étais indiqué a l entrée qu il n y avait pas de pêche local,l mais cela ne justifie pas de nous critique sur notre qualité des vins car nous travaillant avec les producteur locaux, notre vin qui est fort apprécier des autre clients, notre chauffage étais bien allumer se jour la et la preuve que mes autre clients ne se sont pas plein de la température de la salle malgré leur proximité de la porte d entrée donc je soupçonne de la mauvaise fois de votre part car vous avez probablement pas l habitude que l on vous sert pas le repas que vous désiré mais cela arrive dans les restaurant qui travail du frais. cordialement le gerant

6.5/10The good, the bad and the ....same sauce ingredients with three different dishes. We enjoyed some great fresh local ingredients and a top notch local rose wine. But...each dish was, somehow, let down. Same sauce for red mullet (lovely and fresh but over cooked) and locally caught shark (strangely gelatinous) and the same flavours and ingredients had cropped up with the anchovy starter - a local speciality. And then the 'chocolate' dessert was left hardly touched by one of us and finished by the other because of the fresh raspberry glaze (the dishes only redeeming element). We so much wanted to enjoy this meal, our first in Collioure. We looked at the menu and discussed the possibility of a return visit to try the meat choices - they do sound delicious. But no, this won't be happening. €100 down, lesson learnt and we'll be trying one of the other recommended establishments.

Bonjour Merci d avoir choisi notre restaurant,mais votre commentaire ,me surprend un peu, car la serveuse est passé vous demander si tout se passé bien, et le chef est passé a votre table ou vous lui avez répondu que tout était parfait. Si comme vous dite l assiette d anchois n était pas a votre gout ,mais cela est un avis très personnel ,ceux sont les anchois de la maison roque qui est très connu a Collioure et quand la serveuse vous a débarrassé le plat était vide . Pour ce qui est du poisson ,je vous invite a aller sur port- vendres et d aller chez notre pêcheur primo-JO, avec qui le chef travaille , et la serveuse qui vous a débarrassé les plats ,a part un peu les légumes, le poisson a été manger donc aussi un avis très personnel . Au niveau des prix , vous aviez la carte ou les prix était affichés donc pour la boisson ,pour les menus et le vin tout était bien spécifiés . Cordialement le gérant de l escale bleue.
