This was our third visit to this wonderful restaurant. As always the hostess Aurélie was a delight and made us feel very welcome in spite of our very limited French. All of the staff were attentive, friendly and polite and not in the least bit stuffy - and even apologised for their poor English when it should be us apologising for the lack of French speaking ability!The restaurant is stylish, modern and crisp with stunning views from the floor to ceiling windows.Now onto the main event - the food. As before we had the degustation menu, where Xavier Taffart shows just how he earned his Michelin star. It was only a couple of months since our last visit and fully expected a repeat of the previous meal, which we thoroughly enjoyed and would have happily eaten again, but no this was a brand new menu designed for us! I am not going to go through each course as this would spoil your surprise, but there were 6 courses, plus pre deserts, amuse bouche, and petit fours and at 75 euros this is an absolute bargain for the quality and variety of food provided. Each course was perfectly presented and I have run out of adjectives to describe how good the food is. I have said before that I do not understand the michelin ratings as this place deserves much more than one star. We used to travel to Christopher Coutanceau in La Rochelle - we don't anymore!If you want a fantastic meal - please don't miss L'Aquarelle.

What a wonderful lunch we had. The restaurant decor is fantastic and the food is exquisite. Starting with the Pigs Tail (yes it is and itâs excellent) all the way through desert the entire culinary experience rivals any restaurant in NY, Paris or London.We recommend this to everyone!

Fish and chips English style here in Pontaillac, Royan. Great little restaurant opposite the beach open all day and into the evening every day except Wednesdays. Madame speaks excellent English. Very reasonably priced. Definitely worth a visit. Also French style food served.

This is a very unusual place, located in the middle of an industrial estate and housed in what looks like an industrial unit, but what it lacks in location it more than makes up for in the quality of the food and the service. I had the 'assiette de boucher' which comprised a large entrecote and a large brochette of rump streak served with home made fries and a sauce of your choice. As the main dish was so large we didn't have room for dessert, but what we saw being served looked very tempting. Our main course cost â¬16.50 but most people seemed to be eating off the â¬14.50 three course menu, which had plenty of choice and included a starter buffet. Towards the end of the lunch period the chef (and I believe the owner) came and spoke to all the diners - a nice touch, he also served some of the late-comers. The restaurant is only open for lunch. So if you're looking for place for a romantic lunch in beautiful surrounding don't come here, but if your hungry and appreciate good food well served at very reasonable prices, La Gargote will take some beating

Nice restaurant (or take it away) with a supermarket concept and fresh homemade food. Choose your starter, main and dessert from the shelve. Put them in your basket. Go to the cashier for water and wine and pay your bill. After you finished your starter, your main course is served hot and steaming. And you can finish it off with a coffee. A servant will help you understand the system from start to end. The wine is good, but not cheap. Bon appétit!

We ate here as a group of four adults and four children. The menu was limited, brought to us on a chalk board it appeared to only have mains. The children's menu consisted of steak haché or breaded chicken. Both of these were ordered and were fine.The adults at the table had steak which was very good but pricey at â¬21, fish which again was nice at rather cheap at â¬12.50 and the pasta arribiatta which was a large portion but not at all spicy, this too was only â¬12.50.All the food was eaten and enjoyed, it was just a little run of the mill.We had two bottles of wine, again there was no wine list we were just told what they had which made ordering a little awkward and as we had to ask the price.All in all it is a good neighborhood restaurant just lacking a little je ne sais quoi.The bill came to â¬200 for us all.Bonjour,Nous vous remercions dâavoir diné au sein de notre restaurant.Pour information , le steak que vous avez mangé et choisi était lâentrecôte race à viande en 350 grammes. Pour les pâtes, il sâagit dâune spaghettis sauce arrabiata soit une sauce tomate légèrement relevée.Sachez que pour les boissons (softs, vin, cocktails...) une carte est à votre disposition. Il est vrai que le but de notre établissement est de limiter les choix afin de changer les plats tous les 2 jours voire tous les jours. Il en est de même pour les vins selon les saisons et les producteurs rencontrés.Pour finir, votre addition sâélevait à 200⬠pour 8 couverts avec des distingués de bière, des planchettes fromages, 2 bouteilles de vin et des boissons (ice-tea...) pour les enfants. Vous souhaitant de bonnes vacances à ST Georges de DIDONNE et au plaisir de vous revoir.

This restaurant is not in the main hub of town but right opposite the cathedral. We were warmly greeted and chose the set menu (available in the evening). Home made bread and a fish paste were brought to the table as a free mini starter. The starters were fab as were the mains, tasty and presented to a high standard. I didn't have a dessert but those who did said it was delicious.Not only is the service and food great here but also the value for money, we had 2 aperitifs, 2 glasses of wine, large bottle of water, 1x2 course meal and 2x3 course meals plus coffees with homemade biscuits. Total of 74 euros. Would definitely eat here again!

On an ambient sunny Sunday, we decided to join with the locals and take lunch in this Marina-side eaterie. The position was great, the weather was warm, there was a buzz about the place, so we ordered our food, and sat back to contemplate our lunch. We waited.... And waited...and waited. Eventually a harassed waiter approached us to let us know that our wine was free, and that our food would be 'cinq minutes'. Well cinq minutes came and went, the novelty of the marina-side ambience wore thin, and the waiter returned to confirm our order...a sure sign that it had been forgotten.When my Moules arrived, they were average and on the cool side of Luke warm. My Frites tasted like they had been cooked the previous Tuesday, my wife's Spaghetti Carbonara was awful ... A lump of congealed spaghetti with a tasteless drying sauce. The experience was very poor so we left without leaving any sort of tip. I could have forgiven the service issue if the food had been worth waiting an hour for. As it was, in hindsight, I wouldn't have waited 10 minutes for such a second rate meal. So that's why it gets 2 stars from me.
