Chez Simone, Spanish restaurant in Collioure, France
Chez Simone is a Spanish restaurant on the main street of Collioure serving an array of tapas made from Mediterranean coast ingredients. The establishment accepts various payment methods and operates with moderate pricing.
Thomas Garcia founded the restaurant in 2000, transforming a simple snack bar into a tapas establishment. The growth was driven by collaboration with chefs Jimmy, Arnaud, and Cyrille.
The kitchen blends Mediterranean coast ingredients with Spanish cooking methods, creating dishes that reflect the meeting point of French and Spanish food traditions. This approach shapes how locals and visitors experience the menu.
The restaurant sits opposite Collioure Bay with large windows facing the sea, offering views while dining. Visitors should note the location near Plage Boramar beach and that daytime offers the best views of the water.
The restaurant is known for house-made anchovies from Desclaux and premium Iberian pork products rarely found elsewhere. These specialties come from carefully selected suppliers across France and Spain.
