TONTON LOUIS

For almost 20 years, this restaurant has been delighting seafood lovers. Don't look for it in the heart of La Rochelle, it's just a few kilometers from Chef-de-Baie beach. To find it, make your way to the fishing port. Here, it's easy to park and enter a place where the sea breathes from everywhere: storm lights, colorful flags, seagulls taking flight... and, of course, this boat stocked with plenty of fresh produce. The seafood buffet is wonderful: crab, langoustines, pink and grey shrimps, whelks, almonds, clams and even fish soup, salads and seafood terrines. At lunchtime, take advantage of the full menu at a very competitive price. Enjoy fresh products such as fish rillettes and haddock fillet. In the evening, the whole family can enjoy a menu that smells of the nearby ocean: fish burger, fried mussels, sea bass fillet... The restaurant also offers a grilled entrecôte steak. Don't miss the delicious desserts, such as pistachio financiers served with hazelnut ice cream, chocolate praline delight or a resolutely gourmet coffee. A great place to enjoy seafood in an original setting, with a stroll around the fishing port to follow.
