Jeff Gautier has a 40-year career as a drummer. He has played with the greatest stars of French variety and has created a local orchestra, the Bars on Fire. With his wife, Marianne, he opened this restaurant in the countryside. The menu, offered in the form of a formula, is short: homemade terrine with three meats (pork, veal, game), egg casserole with foie gras or camembert roasted in the oven for starters. Special menus are organized around stuffed hens, calf's head gribiche, Flemish carbonade.... Meat and vegetables are mainly selected and purchased in the region. In this establishment, music is king. We rush the first Friday of every month for karaoke: we sing a song with a real professional orchestra, and the other Fridays it's Jams Sessions. The boss organizes blues, rock, soul, rhythm'n blues concerts with special gourmet formulas or snack plates (cold cuts, raw vegetables, tapas) and fish & chips. Everything here, atmosphere and decoration, breathes the love of music, in summer the stage is outside, on the shaded terrace.

Pyla is not there, Palmyra is elsewhere, but where are we? In this very friendly place you will have the right to the attention of the boss Christophe, and his team. The staff were friendly and helpful. We settle, according to the mood and the sky, on the terrace or in the top room where a small and amusing garden recalls the distant sand, with the beach cabin, but attention to the message on the door… especially after having tasted the Ravivol, the famous speciality of the house. The map will spoil us with stews, Bêêêê or Meuh salads, sometimes accompanied by edible flowers, pig mice, salmon tartar, etc. and a selection of friendly wines. At a time when the sun sits on the dune, the atmosphere becomes festive.

The place is ideal, facing the abbey, bordering Dronne, with the hinge of two shopping streets. The terrace and the colorful atmosphere attract the eye! This restaurant brasserie offers many hot or cold dishes, salads, a dish of the market with all specialties that Périgord has (liver, duck, and mushrooms!), the dishes of the country and pizzas from there. The great classic for tourists not very rich and not in a hurry.

The Café de l'Océan is a brasserie, but a brasserie facing the main square of the island, shaded and apart from the tourist passage… This is not negligible in summer! The terrace is open to idleness and long relaxation. And if time doesn't allow you to stay outside, install peacefully inside: The garden evokes the inside of a boat and looks like a kind of returned shell, all wood. The speciality of the house? La charentaise.
