“ Very nice restaurant with seatings inside and outside with the beach views. Food is delicious, especially the desserts are amazing. ”
“ We have been coming here for years...traditionally starts our vacation! I love that every year the menu is different. The food is excellent and you cannot beat the view! ”
“ Great food and great view! They serve not just seafood but very good meat. I tried the gravlax entrée (fresh fish) and it was really delicious. For main course, I recommend the risotto with shrimp, very creamy and savory too. Also house wine is good. Very nice choice for a casual family diner or small groups ”
“ A lovely location, sitting outside next to the sea on a sunny evening, watching the world go by. There are many tables in this outdoor area, but they are snapped up quickly on good days, understandably. We had drinks only as vegetarian dishes were limited and named only as a vegetarian dish of the day. I understand that a coastal restaurant should be showing off the local seafood and I am fine with that. The range of drinks and cocktails was plentiful and they were well made and presented. If you enjoy seafood, this is a great place for you to eat, either inside or out. ”
“ Nice location on the water alongside a bike path. Stopped by (after a visit to La Rochelle) to share a dozen oysters with my wife. These were expertly opened ( chapeau to the kitchen) saving all the fragrance and flavors of the ocean! Fantastic with a beverage and served with delicious bread and butter. Excellent service and friendly (English speaking) personnel the ambiance was warm and welcoming. ”
