The best bars and cafés Saint-Gilles-Croix-De-Vie

In the Halles de la Vie, it is one of the bars that cannot be ignored in Saint-Gilles. A bar-apéro doubled with a cellar. All the bottles from the cellar are available at the bar! Only products from the cellar are sold here. Other assets: a vast terrace as if sitting on the water at high tide, with a magnificent panoramic view of the river and the port, about 400 wine references, a selection of wines by the glass, 150 whiskies, 50 rums and 300 different beers... And to accompany all this, boards of cold meats and cheeses, to enjoy the aperitif.

We love this bar with its early 19th century seaside architecture, located at the foot of the Grande-Plage, offering a view over the ocean. A highly coveted location! As soon as the first rays of sunshine appear, you'll have to elbow your way out onto the pretty terrace with its wooden pallet furniture, as the crowds flock to this trendy place. Inside, stone walls, wooden framework and salvaged furniture make for a warm atmosphere, especially when accompanied by friends over cocktails and an aperitif board during one of the concerts.

It is the place that from 7am comes alive on the quay of the Port. The KF du Port is an institution. Holidaymakers come here to have breakfast on the terrace which takes its place on the port and extends into the pedestrian street where the church and the market which takes place there on the Place du Marché aux Herbes. The KF du Port is alive all day long. It is a warm place where you can appreciate the decoration and the atmosphere. At the beginning of the evening, one comes to share with friends a plancha around a cocktail. Evenings with a DJ are also organised.

A unique concept combining a craft brewery, a bar area open onto the vats, with workshops and games! Caroline and Antoine create handcrafted, responsible organic beers! A range of 10 organic beers named after iconic places, expressions and characters from Gillocrucian life. In addition to the tour and tasting, learn the art of brewing and make your own beer. As a gift idea, discover distillation and make your own spirits from wheat brandy. As a team-building activity or with friends, play the "Beer Games".

Opposite the pier that leads you to the island of Yeu, a cosy place, which in addition to offering a bar menu is part of an eco-responsible approach to eating good and healthy. On the bar side, we take out the mixology card for cocktails, for soft drinks, we note a Community cola or an Orangina house. Au Bout du Monde looks like a nice Parisian brasserie and it is also visible in the menu which displays tartar with home-made fries, burgers, big salads, Buddha bowls, fish ceviche, without forgetting the brunch on Sundays.
