The best seafood restaurants Charente-Maritime

Beautifully located on the seafront, La Traverse welcomes you to its terrace, a few meters from the beach for lunch or simply to have a coffee on a beautiful sunny day. The menu highlights seafood products, in all simplicity, offering fresh and homemade products. You can start the meal with a plate of prawns or a half-cooked duck foie gras. The suite blends the richness of the ocean, like squid fritters served with a homemade tartar sauce, but also local products such as the burger from La Terrasse or a bruschetta including, among others, Serrano ham and grilled chorizo. The plates are beautiful and copious. On the dessert side, we fall for an ice cream cup, a soft chocolate cake and homemade pancakes, just as tasty. Summer and heat help, the ice creams call for delicacies and make everyone happy. One small downside, however: the service, quite slow..

This restaurant is located within the Jonzac Casino, close to the aquatic centre. The welcome is friendly and people come here to taste traditional cuisine. Note that the map changes according to the season.

The Cayenne receives you at any time for a small tasting summer of seafood. There is a good value for money, but not to go there when the restaurant is crowded with tourists. The reception will feel there. Otherwise, the products are fresh, we eat for their money, and the choice of the card is quite wide. Specialized in seafood products, the Cayenne also offers a p'tit glass of cognac by drink!

This family-run bistro enjoys a beautiful location in the heart of a shady square. The opportunity to offer a quiet break away from the beaches. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The chef puts on fresh and local produce what is seen in the plate and on the seafood platters willingly generous. The cook is fair and the accompanying sauces are tasteful. In short, simple and efficient local cuisine. The St George's timblings and home crab and shrimp ravioli will be noted. On the fish side, the restaurant offers a sea saucraut with 3 fish or garlic and parsley snacks. The dessert honors the famous Love Well, to be enjoyed without moderation.

Don't expect a wilderness and desert. This highly tourist site, located at the end of the island and at the foot of the Chassiron lighthouse, beats attendance records during the season. Fortunately, a large car park is available and the staff is effectively responding to the requests. The hotel, ideally located opposite La Rochelle and the bridge on the island of Ré, also offers rooms with balconies with ocean view or the visitor's lighthouse. Here you can enjoy one of the two menu-à-la-carte menus, including a "house" chicken terrine, a Julienne filet and of course fried marinas and sea sauces. Every child menu is entitled to a token for a free tour on the Formula 1 circuit.

It is one of these huts set up on the channel of La Grève where you can take a seat and enjoy a moment dedicated to tasting seafood products. Held by an oyster farmer who expands his activity during the summer season. On the menu side, we enjoy tasting mussels during the summer months, cooked in different ways: in pieces (cooked with pine needles), curry, Provençal and even lemon. But here, don't miss the oysters that are the stars of the menu. They are to be enjoyed hot with parsley butter and pineau or cold in plates and trays.
