Seafood and local produce. Fish, vegetables and meats are purchased fees directly to the auction and the market of La Rochelle. Breads, sauces, ice cream, all is made by us in our kitchen!

Certainly a restaurant worth a visit if you are keen on fish. Ingredients are -logically and fortunately- fresh and of good quality and the dishes are well presented too. However i regret that there are no seafood platters or specific regional recipes offered making you feel that you could very well be anywhere in France

This is supposed to be a "high class" restaurant bur it misses basic requirements with a very poor service. As a "fish restaurant", it does not have fish forks and knives - normally not a problem for "ordinary" restaurant for a pretentious one, it is a must! Same with a plate for bread and bread knife - non existent! The service was very slow and we had to ask several times. The food is and its presentation was good, hence 2*/5*.If slow or non existant service is not a problem then this is a place for you to have good food!Dear Customer,Thank you for your comment and sincerely sorry for the service that did not satisfy you. Customer satisfaction is our number one priority. naturally, I've talked with my restaurant team after your visit to improve these small details which are very important.I hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again in the near future to prove to you that this was only an accident.With this hope,Receive, dear customer, my sincere greetings.Christophe MORNET

I had bar, very good but a tad overcooked. My wife and accompanying couple shared a massive âboatâ of seafood so big that i had to pitch in. Wonderful staff, good wines. Oysters came right from the sea. Lots of fun. Worth a visit to be sure.

Located on the seafront of the Pointe de la Fumée on the peninsula of Fouras, the restaurant L'Océan welcomes you and makes you discover its elaborate home cooking fresh and local products.

This is where we go for seafood platters. Great setting overlooking the bay towards Chatelaillon. Lots of renovations have been done - it is very well presented.The menu has changed a lot over the years - they used to have a cooked seafood platter but now all of the options come with things we donât like so we do the build your own approach.Limited free parking so get there early or youâll have to pay to park across the road

My wife and I plus friend who was staying with us came here for dinner on a Saturday evening. We booked a table for 7:30 and were given a front row seat in the conservatory section that faces Fort Boyard and the sunset. Initial impressions of service were not good. We were not asked if we wanted an aperitif, the waitress who was taking orders was very unfriendly to all and she took orders from two tables that had arrived after us. However, she was then replaced by an older waitress who was much friendlier and also efficient. We all had the 29⬠set menu. Our friend and I had the fish soup which we both thought was good. My wife had a hot goat cheese salad which turned out to be something that looked like a Welsh rarebit with some lettuce. My wife said it tasted nice. For the main course I had halibut which appeared to be two fillets from an extremely young fish which were fresh and well cooked but did not have the depth of flavour that I have experienced when eating more mature halibut. My wife and friend had cod which they both rated as very tasty. The fish dishes were accompanied by a very solid and not particularly appetising mashed potato and a cube of some sort of vegetable flan which we could not identify. Both fish dishes were served with a rich and tasty sauce. For dessert our friend and I had apple tart and apricot tart respectively which were good with plenty of fruit. My wife had a pannacotta dish which she said was very rich. Service was speedy. We placed our orders at 7:55 and had completed the meal by 9:15. Although it hadn't been a particularly hot day the conservatory got very warm and was almost overpowering when it filled up to the point where we needed to ask for windows to be opened. By 9:00 every table was full with what looked like locals rather than tourists. The restaurant specialises in fruits de mer dishes and these looked copious and were clearly popular despite the price. Overall I would say that you will get a better meal in the centre of Fouras unless you particularly want the assorted shellfish dishes which central Fouras restaurants don't appear to offer.

First thing they tell you is that they are not a restaurant but it's the best place on the island to eat seafood. This is where you come for the best oysters and they are pretty cheap too (served with bread, butter, lemon and a glass of wine)! And even if it's not oyster season, you can still get good fresh oysters here. Litterally picked that very morning. If you don't like oysters, you can chose from a wide selection of other seasfood and you cook your own fish with the hotplates, herbs and spices available. They give you some vegetables to go with it and voilà , a tasty, simply and healthy meal. The staff will help you if needed. Everything is rustic and simple. For people who want the good produce without any fuss.

I agree with the poster who said no wonder foreigners criticise the French welcome if this restaurant is anything to go by. The waitress was beyond rude, totally ignored our request to have certain courses at the same time. She kept insisting on asking which menu/formula we wanted despite us repeating we wanted a large carte. She did not smile once. Chips were delicious, steak was considered good, mussels were only lukewarm seemed to have been reheated and had teensy crabs still in them. Desserts were OK. Coffees were mistakenly brought to the table next to us and another equally rude waitress almost insisted they drink and pay for them even though they hadn't ordered them.
