Reviews Summary
Paillote Le Goëland offers a beautiful waterfront setting and generally well-prepared dishes, with the fish and octopus receiving particular praise. However, some diners have noted issues with service attitude and high prices, leading to mixed experiences.
"Gorgeous meal. We had the fish of the day. Perfectly cooked. I would highly recommend the tiramisu!! Omg...the best I've ever had"
Catherine Crichton
"The price is out of this world. 32€ for octopus which was so salty which sometimes was almost impossible to eat (only my plate, the other plate was fine) with the service of waters in the sweaty t-shirts and flip flops. The price has to be brought back to the ground and reflect at least the place and the service. I do not recommend"
Inga Grygalyte
"If you like pretentious places charging 40 euros for a grilled octopus, this is your place. Service is good. Location is great. Food options are limited."
