In the lower town, in a small street off the main square, this is a popular place with no apparent charm, but it serves excellent rustic cuisine based on tasty seafood.

The other curiosity will be the plate of percebes, a shellfish quite rare in our countries. And if you feel nostalgic for the Breton platters, there is still the whole crab.

It is one of the best places on the waterfront, one of the great classics too. So it's not surprising to see many foreigners who have found the address thanks to a travel guide. It serves a rather international cuisine where fish (tuna, salmon, sole) and seafood (shrimps, scallops...) are king. It is of course not the best market in the area, but you have a superb view of the sea from the roof terrace. Undoubtedly, the price includes the exceptional setting of the establishment

This very family address proposes an exclusively regional kitchen. That's good, we are here for that. The service room is also typical, decorated soberly with ceramics on the walls.

On match days, chances are you'll be sitting in a sound atmosphere.
