Le pirate - Argelès-sur-Mer

Fooled by the nice location and friendly welcome. Ordered a small beer and received a large (€6.60). Ordered half chickens with curry sauce on side - received 2 pieces of chicken carcass each covered in sauce, barely warm with cold hard fries. Also ordered a green salad (having had a very nice one in a different restaurant the previous night) - just some chopped up manky lettuce with sauce - no onion or any extras (5€) Having left most of the food on the plate and asked if we enjoyed our meal, we complained but there was the usual "sorry" but no offer to reduce the price and we have learned that in France you have to pay the bill regardless of the quality. We both felt very ill during the night and thought we would be down with food-poisoning but luckily it passed - bill was €45 - what a waste. Wished I had internet to check out the ratings in advance so could have avoided this awful place

We were seated by the waitress (got to be the same one mentioned in all the previous reviews), waited 15 mins and eventually went and asked her if we could have a menu (she was busy staring into space), she seemed very surprised that we asked....Had a look through the menu, choices were OK. Did notice that nobody actually had any food... Started reading reviews on here.... Had a good old chuckle at the reviews and the realisation that after another 15 mins nobody was going to take our order. Waitress had zoned out again so we just slipped away into the night So many nice places in Argeles to eat, this isn't one, avoid at all costs and if you aren't sure then read the other reviews

Do not eat here. There is nothing nice to say! Food awful, overpriced, and service wierd. My sister found some plastic in her salad!! ????????

The seating is nice and you have a nice view on the harbour and the Pyrenees.However do not expect high quality food. We had mussels and the lowest possible quality was served. Small mussels and about 80% of them had little crabs in them. The chips were also very low quality. Because the food is the most important part I give them a 'poor' rating. We ate here twice and will not be going there anymore.For really good mussels and chips you should go to La Petite Brasserie around the corner.Staff is friendly, helpfull and food is served fast.

The menu quotes a cafe roulette at 1.80 € but the two coffees arrived with a bill for 4.20€. Be very careful here.
