The best French cuisine restaurants Charente-Maritime

Catherine Adamy, "Cathy" for the regulars - supported by her husband Sebastien - receives with the smile and all the sympathy that characterises her in his restaurant at the Minimal (close to the marina). Attended by local workers (Chamber of trades, fishermen, academics and many recreational boaters) The Sextant offers home-made pizzas with fresh products but also fresh lasagna and salads, without forgetting the popular home burgers. For the most pressed formula of the day (10,50 €) you are waiting with its buffet of starters and desserts and its dish of the day. Cathy also hosts groups on reservation (up to 60 people). At the Grand Pavois and the festive evenings (14 July, for example) the restaurant is open until late in the evening.

Café des Bains makes new skin for this New Year's Day and invites you in his new decor. Very agreeably located on the seafront, the restaurant proposes an indoor room but also to install you in terrace to benefit from a panoramic view on the inlet. Within walking distance of the beach, at the waterfront, it is a happiness to come to benefit from the sun to lunch or drink a drink. Here the seafoods are proposed: Scallops, cuttlefish, limanda... The menu is affordable and the chef proposes an enticing daily special. However, the service, too slow and already overflowed, leaves something to be desired. As for the Chef's suggestion, a burger house, a priori inratable, it proves to be disappointing, dries, with cooking very little controlled. And the fish of the day, with its crushed potatoes, is useful hardly tepid and is accompanied by shrimps which one calculates to be bought already cooked and nonfresh. As regards desserts, only of very classical: tarte tatin, carpaccio of pineapple.

This restaurant is located in a pleasant setting, on the Cours des Dames in the heart of the Old port. But the framework does not do everything. If the reception is rather pleasant, the service is long. The map offers a variety of dishes: plates of raw vegetables, duck bowl, salad salad, oysters, pizzas, marmite, spaghetti and cute pork net. One thing is sure, you have to wait long minutes before you can lunch.

On the terrace you will enjoy a stunning sea view and this is only the real plus of this restaurant. The speciality of Pinocchio is pizza, to eat on site or to take away, but you should not be an end connoisseur of Italian dishes to appreciate them. You can also eat fish and pasta, avoiding taking mussels. The reception is in dents and the kitchen is very simple. Go when you want to eat simple, otherwise you can be disappointed. Otherwise, when there is the world, the wait can be long, so it is better to get its way in these cases.
