L'Ecailler - L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue

Rude and arrogant staff. Definitely not worth the hype. Not sure how this place could be rated 106 never mind 6.

What a lovely lunch we had yesterday ! Outside, with a summer sun (in February) we tried the restaurant "specialties" such as Raviole de Gambas or Médaillons de Saumon fumés ! It was fine, elegant and mostly tasteful... it's our second time here, and although it was already very good, the food's getting better since they pay a lot of attention to the details. Probably the best value in town.

A popular seafood restaurant that is worthy of its reputation. The outdoor terrace next to the river makes for a very pleasant dining experience. Staff are efficient and helpful and the seafood dishes well prepared and presented. Prices are a little on the high side though.

Location is excellent. The trout were swimming in the stream 10 meters from my table but neither the chef nor the waiter could get the fish to my plate. My wife and I both ordered trout but the waiter only delivered one trout, after an extended wait, and explained he did not think my wife wanted any food when we inquired about her trout. I gave my trout to her and waited 1/2 hour for them to bring a second trout. After the meal, the waiter brought the water we had ordered when we sat down. I would like to say the trout was worth the wait but it was subpar as were the vegetables that accompanied it. I tried to ignore the slow service and carry on as if nothing had happened but simple inquires as to what had gone wrong were met with indifference. I am sure they will write it off as a 'miscommunication' but did they really think my wife was not going to eat?

The location of the restaurant on the river is outstanding.The food is mainly seafood, but it does cater to other cuisines.The staff are friendly and obliging, and most efficient. They areknowledgable of every type of fish. We enjoyed it so much wereturned the next night, which was Bastille Day , and with all thecelebrations we had a marvellous night and another fantastic meal. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant to fellow travellers.
