French restaurant located close to the Towers. Friendly waiting staff. Sorry to say the food was poor. In addition I was charged 12 euros for a glass of champagne advertised as 8 euros with our 27 euro menu which is bad practice. I didn’t discover it until I got back to the hotel. Fish soup was ok but lacked the rich colour and flavour of a fish bisque that I would have expected. It tasted more like a weak onion soup. The hake was flavourless, two small tail pieces barely cooked, which lacked texture and taste and were laid on a bed of soggy white coconut flavoured vermicelli. The look and feel of the dish was bland, bland, bland. The cheese plate didn’t feature any local cheeses. The bread...
We had read great reviews of this restaurant and that was why we chose it. Also, it was featured for good seafood. While the wait staff and bartender were excellent, the food was very disappointing. My husband had tar tar for his starter and it was very good. My oysters had shell fragments. But the main disappointment was our octopus entre. The octopus was mushy and flavorless and the risotto was also mushy and overpowered by the tomato sauce used.

Returned after a really good experience last year, sadly our recent visit didn’t hit that high spot. We were one of two tables who opted to dine inside and staff seemed to concentrate their energies and those outdoors. We had a couple of very pricey apéritif’s, and a bottle of wine that was opened and dumped on the table. Starters were ok (not that we were asked) but the main courses disappointed. The fish of the day was presented in the form of a tiny fillet and half an artichoke. The entrecôte was so fatty the even the steak knife had issues! Not one member of staff returned to ask how the food was nor when we asked them to take the plates away. Very expensive experience and sadly for us,...
We had a lovely evening sitting outside at this friendly restaurant. They were very helpful and made room for our baby in the pushchair. The food was delicious, and the portions were big. I left my phone on the table. The waiter ran 2 streets to return it to me! Hopefully, we will return.
The worst meal for a long time, La plus mal repas en La Rochelle! Disgusting is about right! Steak was dreadful, rissoto inedible!
