Lo Motas, Tapas restaurant in La Grande-Motte, France
Lo Motas is a tapas restaurant in La Grande-Motte, France, located by the Ponant pond and next to the small port. It serves tapas, sharing boards, tartines, salads, and tartares, along with ice cream, waffles, beers, and wine, and has a terrace with sunset views.
Lo Motas opened in 2017 as a family-run restaurant in the Port Grégau area. Since then, it has become a familiar spot for both locals and visitors looking for a meal by the water.
The name Lo Motas comes from the Occitan language and means "the mounds" or "the hillocks", a nod to the local landscape. Guests often linger over shared boards and cold drinks while watching the sun set over the pond, making it a spot where the evening unfolds slowly.
The restaurant is in the Port Grégau residence, a short walk from the La Grande-Motte - St Louis bus stop, and the terrace is accessible to wheelchair users. It is best to arrive early in the evening to enjoy the sunset from the terrace, and the team welcomes all guests in a friendly way.
The terrace faces the pond and the small port, so you can watch boats return while the light changes over the water. Many guests mention the warm welcome from the owner, which adds a personal touch to the meal.
