Reviews
Just had dinner there with my parents and brother and I can say it was a success. I did some research before choosing this place, and boy are we all happy (and we are difficult to please in matters regarding food hahaha).
First of all the location is perfect. It is in front of the beach Des Sables d'Olonne and you can eat watching the ocean.
The place itself is nice without overdoing it and reflects the charisma and quality that work there. Only thing I can think of is it can get a bit hot inside.
The service was just impeccable, from the ordering, wine selection, cleaning after until our leave.
The food...was simply incredible. They have 3 main menus at 18, 30, and 42euros and all of them will adapt to what price and experience you are willing to have/take. All of them have at least 3 dishes to choose from the different parts of the menu.
They also have a special degustation menu if you want to try their best dishes. It's 56 euros that is basically a menu that everyone shares (since you all eat from the same base, you all have to pay the same price).
The drinks are paid apart from the menu.
We all tried the different plates from the 30€ menu and it was exquisite. I highly recommend the foie gras or salade langoustine as first. The cocotte, or lamb, or tuna as main, and the chocolate fondant as desert. These were the great winners for us but both the taste, textures, portions, etc of every dish were above average.
I highly recommend this place if you enjoy high quality food, and don't want to or can't spend over 70€ to eat gourmet food with small portions of food. The quality and freshness you will get here is worth it.
Hope this was helpful, cheers all, and peace out.
Excellent.
Great food away from tourists and the city buzz. Great service. I would totally recommend this place. Best to book in advance.

Regular at this restaurant.
The langoustine ravioli and the chocolate crème brûlée tart, very good.
The casserole probably has its signature product, very salty.
I spoke about it to other people who have visited this establishment, same comment: dish over salty. The cook probably has a problem in this area.
The waitress very pleasant as always.
Delicious!
Wonderful experience.
Very good restaurant, delicious food and warm welcome. Remember to book!
Really very good. We are lucky to have been able to taste the menu in the evening, in somewhat special and very appreciable conditions (hello, we are the neighbors opposite the kitchen door 😉).
The pea soup is a delight, the perfectly cooked cod and finally the perfect desserts to finish this great meal. I recommend !
