"Despite setting out from our hotel specifically to find this little side-street restaurant, we almost walked right past it. Very unassuming exterior with a colourful and pleasantly-decorated dining room inside, we arrived right after the breakfast hour had ended and before the kitchen had begun preparing lunch. Fortunately for us, the owner and a young man working there - possibly a member of her family - described what they planned to make for lunch as best they could in English and got started early for us! It was well worth the wait for them to finish their lunch prep - we received a mixed plate of Mediterranean-influenced dishes - two crepe-like pastries filled with spinach and feta as well as a very fragrant minced meat filling. There was also a small salad, a small cold dish of simple pasta with tomatoes and olives, and a warm vegetable stew. The other plate we were served was a simple spaghetti with olive oil and beautifully seasoned prawns. They were so fresh and perfectly cooked. We never would have found this place if it hadn't been so well reviewed on TripAdvisor and I'm telling you - if you're going to be spending any time in or around Le Panier, you have to try Restaurant O Summertime! They had an extensive breakfast menu up on the wall that seemed to cater to UK and North American tastes and I wish we could have stuck around to find out what they planned to serve for dinner that night! I would go back in a heartbeat. We weren't told the price of the meal until we had finished eating, but for our two entrees and two iced teas it was about 22 euros - well worth it!"
