We visited the market early in our holiday, and at the stall I was generously offered an oyster to try; I had asked which were best and told the four seasons (seasonally available July-August). It was fabulous, the essence of the sea. I promised myself...a dozen so returned on my own (my wife and young kids rejected the offer to join me in this delicacy). I had a dozen, with white wine. I tried them alone, with lemon and with the shallot vinegar. All ways were good but my favourite was just a little lemon juice. They were delicious, and the market setting lovely. I will be back, hopefully maturing children will one day brave it and join me; I hold out no hope for my wife who will never know...
I am not a specialist for uttering, but I liked this place, although it was a bit cool, as it was a market room and we were in December. they ran out of a fish soup since we came too late, but we ordered to utter and garnel and they were good. my friend liked the oysters but not. she's not a oyster. the service was fast and friendly. I was amazed by the amount of oysters who ordered men, but then I understood why they took so many of them. it is not a good idea to have 14 oysters for lunch, it was simply not enough: next time I take a huge plate of oysters!
We knew we wanted to eat here because of the queues of people always trying to get a table. The restaurant has a real bustle about it as it is located on the indoor market. We went early (11:45) so as not to be disappointed and ordered the plateau for two. We were served with oysters, bulots, prawns, smoked salmon and pâté as well as bread and a selection of mayonnaise. The smoked salmon was the best we have ever had but the whole meal was amazingly fresh and truly delicious. An absolute must for seafood lovers in Arcachon.
My wife and I arrived at lunchtime on a weekday expecting a great experience based on others ' reviews. We plunked down at a table and were immediately told that we couldn 't sit there because it was for 4, and we 'd need to find a place...at the long counters. These were full and noisy and although there were other couples sitting at the tables for 4 we couldn 't get a place. Their loss!

We were walking around the indoor market came across this wonderful little place. Situated at one end of the market, we were lucky enough to find a place to sit. We ate wonderful fresh Arcachon oysters, whelks, prawns langoustines while watching life go...on throughout the market. A great way to spend an hour. All reasonably priced.
Friendly service and good quality oysters. We arrived a few min before closing around lunch time and expected to be turned away but we were warmly welcomed and not rushed to leave either. Delicious seafood all round!
had a few fabulous meals at a very good price. we chose the set menu that has proven to be more excellent. the service was definitely with a great waiter kevin who took care of us every time.
Perfect, fresh quality arcachon bay oyster, skilled staff and great service. You don't get it much better than this! Highly recommended!

we enjoyed our meal. crevettes were good and the fish soup too. overpriced. when in arcachon, it deserves a visit.
