"Le Jardin de Collioure is (not surprisingly) a garden based restaurant in a lovely old monastery courtyard. You're essentially sat outside yet are sheltered from any wind by the surrounding walls. It's a lovely environment in which to eat.The staff were incredibly friendly and efficient and were happy to recommend dishes and wines. They were knowledgeable about what they were suggesting too.There were 6 of us on our two visits including 2 children. The kids both had the grilled sausage which is delicious. It's nice to see children's dishes being the same quality as the rest of the food.The rest of us all ate from the 38 Euro fixed menu. My wife and I had the Foie Gras to start and it was incredible. I've never tasted better. It's apparently made by the chef. For a main I had the Beef Fillet in mirror sauce with Banyuls(a local spirit). I have my steak cooked blue and it was done to perfection. The sauce was delicious and the accompaniments were perfect. Just enough to leave you satisfied.For dessert I had the Profiteroles which was actually one massive profiterole and was as good as the rest of the courses.My family all enjoyed their meals just as much as I did. The incredible quality of the food, including the children's menu, the excellent, friendly service and the beautiful surroundings make a trip the Le Jardin one to remember. It was so good we went twice during our week in Collioure and were equally impressed the second time.I can't recommend this restaurant enough. It is the perfect holiday eating experience and if I'm ever in the area the first place I'll go to eat."

"We have visited this restaurant seven times over the last few years. It never disappoints. The location is fantastic, with incredible views across the bay to Collioure from the terrace, where it's normal to eat unless the weather is inclement. The staff are wonderful and attentive without being intrusive. English speaking staff are always on hand for those who are less confident with speaking French. The food has been excellent on each occasion that we have dined and it is always interesting both in terms of flavour and presentation. This year, we left the choice of wine to the sommelier and chose to have a glass of something different with each course. It was a great decision. The set menus are very good and, at the lower end of the scale, are really not expensive considering that this is a Michelin starred restaurant. We have eaten off both the cheapest set menu and the intermediate one. Both have been excellent. We wouldn't bother with the A la carte menu because we've found the set menus to be so good. The limited parking really isn't an issue for anyone staying in Collioure as the place is relatively small and is easily navigable on foot. Although not in the heart of the town, the restaurant is just a few minutes walk from the town centre.I think that this is the best place in which I've eaten because of both the location (it really is stunning) and the quality of the food. Long may it continue!"

"When we booked out trip to Collioure we logged onto TripAdvisor and checked out the local restaurants. Le Neptune was one that really caught our eye and we were looking forward to visiting during our stay.There were 6 in our party and when we first arrived we were shown into the dining room. This was an almost completely glass room that was incredibly hot. There were blinds down so we couldn't really see out and although the door was open and one of 3 fans running it was like sitting in a green house. Incredibly hot. When we asked for the fans to be switched on or the air conditioning to be activated we were told that they had to wait for the sun to drop behind the castle and that there was nothing they could do about nature. It was not until around 8:30 that they opened the roof an lifted the blinds. Now why they couldn't have opened the roof earlier I don't know. If they can't open the roof whilst the blinds are down then they need a new roof!!! Once the roof was opened however the temperature dropped and the views of Collioure were revealed and it really was most pleasant. Just a pity that it was so uncomfortable for the first hour.The 2 children with us had the child's menu and I have to say they are the best kids meals I've ever tasted. One had Cod fillet and pasta and the other had veal and crushed potatoes. Both were superb. The veal especially was melt in the mouth and stunning for a child's meal. Unfortunately the same couldn't be said for the rest of the dishes.We all ate from the Gourmet menu which was a fixed menu for 39 Euros. I had the Tuna for a starter which was incredibly bland. There was simply not enough seasoning. It looked nice though. I had the Pork for the main which was essentially a large pork chop. It was topped with a mini pepper stuffed with mashed potatoes and garlic and accompanied with a red pepper and chorizo sauce. The stuffed pepper was delicious, as was the sauce, but the pork was tough and tasteless. My dessert was L'Entremet Catalan which was probably the best of the desserts.All the dishes ordered by my family told a similar tale. They were 'OK' but lacked seasoning and just whilst they looked great they just didn't provide the flavour you'd expect. My wife, for example, ordered 'La Pomme' for dessert. It looked incredible but tasted of plain whipped cream. Very disappointing.The service was OK. I liked our waiter but others didn't. The best service came from a younger lady who I believe was training. She was friendly, chatty and a credit to the restaurant.The whole experience at Le Neptune was unfortunately rather forgettable. There is nothing wrong with it but it's just not very special."
