You're planning to spend a few days on the superb island of Porquerolles and want to make reservations at the best restaurants. Here's a roundup of our favorites on Porquerolles.
The best restaurants on Porquerolles (in our opinion)
1/ Le Poisson Ivre, superb fish restaurant
If you love fish and beautiful places, then you absolutely must try “Le Poisson Ivre”. You'll find a beautiful table under the pine trees, and you'll enjoy fine, creative cuisine. We recommend the pavé de maigre, the ceviche de daurade sauvage and the tartare de daurade. Very pleasant service, a very fine restaurant in Porquerolles.

2/ Villa Sainte Anne: a vacation atmosphere and good food
Another restaurant on the Port de Porquerolles with an excellent, relaxed and festive atmosphere. The team is very attentive, and we love their lobster roll as a starter, as well as the filet de taureau (exceptional meat) and the seafood pasta. The view over the harbor is very pleasant, giving l'Orangeraie a vacation feel..

Our review of La Pinède (Le Mas du Langoustier), recommended by Michelin
We often agree with the Michelin guide, but we don't entirely share their positive opinion of the “La Pinède” restaurant. So yes, the setting is magnificent and the small dishes are big. We ate a good Saint Pierre, the lobster was well prepared... but it frankly lacks creativity for this price level. Service is also rather slow (and with a few mistakes on our part). Of course, you can make up your own mind.

“La Fringale”: an inexpensive restaurant close to the Port:
We love the little restaurant “La Fringale” near the Porquerolles harbor! Great home cooking, and don't miss the prawn pasta and fish and chips dishes, which are a real success. The portions are generous, so you get what you pay for. The staff are friendly and you have a beautiful view of the sea.
