Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream L'Ile-D'Yeu

An address that many gourmet holidaymakers know well. This one is nicer than Danielle... She has been spoiling lovers of sweets with her homemade waffles and pancakes or her homemade ice creams for several decades! Home-made ice-creams and sorbets in cones that you will decorate with a home-made red fruit coulis, but also in litre or 1/2 litre versions to decorate your desserts at home. You can eat these delicacies, including the original waffle on a stick, the Bichonnette, on the sunny terrace in the heart of the port.

Don't leave the island without tasting its flagship specialty: the delicious prune tart from the Mousnier patisserie, also present at the market. Alain Mousnier's home-made cakes, jams and salted butter caramel are part of the island's culinary tradition. Other specialties include betchets (which means "cookie" in local dialect, i.e. twice-baked), also known as sailor's cookies because they keep for several days at sea. For mardi gras, there's also foutimasson, a doughnut also known as bottereau or tourtisseau.

Both a chocolate factory and a delicatessen, Maison d'Oya, which opened in 2020, has already won a number of awards at the Academy of Chocolate's international competition in London, including a gold medal for its Crunchy spread and a bronze medal for its Beauvoir fleur de sel praliné. Florence, a chocolatier, makes these delicacies in her Port Joinville workshop. Chocolates in bar or tasting box format. Also on sale: teas, caviar, truffles and spices.
