Come with a smile as it doesn’t cost a thing and gives a lot. These exact words (ok, in French…) welcome you to the restaurant L’Essentiel in Sète. The location right at the beginning (or the end, depending on where you are coming from) of the Lido- the stretch of sand between Sète and Marseillan- will make you feel like you are in heaven. And no matter how many people are on the terrace, the staff of this cheerful place always greet you with big smiles. Their enthusiasm is contagious, further enhanced by the stunning view of the Mediterranean and the wonderful food.
