Fun and entertainment La Rochelle

L'Etoile du Marin is a small, traditional district bar where quick shopping is just as fast as coffee. On the square of La Motte-Rouge, a large number of visitors are found indoors or on the terrace for moments of conviviality thanks, inter alia, to the sympathy of the bosses. Its authentic and rustic decoration fits perfectly with the ambient atmosphere. On the road to the station, the bar is also a place frequented by travellers. A bar as there is less and less.

Here's an unusual place to have a drink with friends! Docked in the mediatheque district, the former weather ship has been home to a bar on its upper deck for the past ten years. Rochelais and tourists alike know the place well, ideal for sampling regional products such as oysters from the Ile de Ré and charcuterie from Monsieur Riton while sipping a cocktail. 2018 is a time of renewal for this seaside bar! But rest assured, the place still leaves room for creative encounters and the marine atmosphere is still conducive to relaxation. In 2019, the bar will extend ashore to offer a space combining dining and culture.

This bar makes the old port vibrate. Installed in the heart of the quays, it is the rallying point of people from Rochelais eager to spend a good moment in a place marked by a decoration which changes from the other bars and a very particular atmosphere. Les Enfants du Rock offers a rock spirit that has marked a whole generation. During the week and on sunny days, you can sit on the terrace and enjoy a coffee or a beer. With friends, we sway to a playlist dedicated to all lovers of good music: U2, Dépêche Mode...

This bar, located in the famous Gabut district, is popular with many people from La Rochelle. Just a step away from the faculty, the students are the first to frequent it! Close to the Old Port and the city center, the bar is easily accessible and its animations, throughout the week, attract all those who want to have a good time. Antoine and Oléna have created a place where you feel good, especially on the sunny terrace. We appreciate the friendly welcome and the varied music. Smart, here, we pay attention to the environment by using organic wheat straws!

This small address, just a step from Les Halles, is one of those that we exchange between friends to offer ourselves a nice lunch break. You have two choices: order and take away your favorite dish to enjoy it in the sun or take a seat in one of the two rooms to devour it on the spot. Everything here invites you to spend a nice moment from the welcome to the products present which are all fresh and rich in tastes! What a pleasure to taste a poke bowl, a burger, home made fries or a fish and chips... and some delicacies!

Among the establishments of the rue des Templiers, this café stands out a bit from its neighbors. Open only during the day - except for some very popular afterworks - this place with its new colorful decoration is known for those who want to have a comforting break or to eat. The menu evolves with the seasons with always a large choice of drinks, salads to compose, sandwiches, soups and famous cakes. Home-made and healthy food are privileged, as well as good mood! The team is smiling, the service is fast.

Jennifer has done it! She's opened a tea room where you can sip your favorite drink in the company of little felines. Before you even enter, take the time to observe the window, and you'll no doubt see cats roaming freely. Don't hesitate to enter! You'll be charmed by both the smiling welcome and the cosy, peaceful atmosphere. It's a great opportunity to take a break in the heart of the city with a brunch, a hot drink and a treat in the company of cats.

This café, run by Edouard and Christophe, couldn't be named after a more famous playwright. Everything here inspires happiness: the warm welcome, the pretty terrace overlooking the square, but also the room in which you love to take refuge. With its jazzy ambience and large bay window, it's with a smile on your face that you order your coffee. In the mornings, you can enjoy breakfast, and at lunchtime, the restaurant offers simple but high-quality food: oysters, homemade mayo shrimps, tartare... and you can take the time to admire the works of the artists exhibited each month.

This is an easily accessible place and ideal for an activity with family or friends. Before coming, go to the website to make a reservation. Just choose your scenario, the date and the number of players. When you arrive, you will be greeted with a smile before being immersed in one of the beautifully decorated game rooms. It's up to you to solve the riddles by searching the room for clues or by calling on the game master.

This small wine bar is a real favorite because of the quality-price ratio of the wines offered, the interior decoration where you can choose your own bottle and the outdoor tables that give it a friendly atmosphere. You just have to enter to be seduced by the warm welcome of smiling waiters who will give you all the advices to choose your wine. While sipping this precious beverage, you will taste a hot Mont d'Or, the inevitable planks of cold cuts but also tapas. Here is a place to discover to spend a beautiful evening.

A surprising place, to say the least! Located close to the market, this cocktail bar promises to be a real treat. We appreciate the warm welcome from Laura, always smiling and dynamic, and the setting, as atypical as it is magnificent. With friends, we come here to sip cocktails that are as pretty to look at as they are delicious! What's more, you can sit comfortably on the mezzanine. Let yourself be carried away by the friendly atmosphere and vintage decor, and discover cocktails that change with the seasons, while nibbling on a few dishes.

It's not just another café like the dozens you'll find in La Rochelle, but a unique place on a quiet downtown street. Infini thé is set up under the arcades of rue Dupaty, with a window display as bright as it is beautifully presented. Just step through the doors and you'll be filled with the scent of tea. Alyson and Henri will advise you on a wide range of teas. But before choosing, the Petit Futé recommends you head to the back of the store for a moment of tasting. There's a pellet stove in the lounge that provides a gentle warmth, ideal for enjoying a cup of tea and spending a few sweet moments. Next door is a recently refurbished patio. Comfortably seated in this intimate space, you'll have plenty of time to choose from a range of fragrant green teas, Russian flavors, white teas, Darjeelings, black teas and, of course, coffees from the four corners of the globe: Brazil, Costa Rica, Peru.... The magic happens when you take a sip, and the winter in La Rochelle becomes milder. And to accompany these hot drinks, indulge in a plate of homemade cakes: chocolate fondant, pear and coconut cake, pineapple cake, tutti frutti cake...

The room is divided into two. A part where it's "serious" - against 1 € half hour - on seven billiards, two of which are reserved for competition. A second houses the home and a table around which you can play the bec, glass by hand and rock music in the ears. The billiard school welcomes children and their parents free of charge. For information, the club participates in competitions all levels, organizes - final of the French Championship… - and wins - Dany Bell is one of the top five French players. By the way, the goal of French billiard is to touch with a ball the other two, with or without tape. The origin of the pool.

Located between the La Pallice market and the Marcel Deflandre stadium, this bar is a well-known address. David, Patou and Philippe have created a place that combines conviviality and exchange.

Welcome to the Troll Kingdom! Newly bought, this institution from La Rochelle keeps its original decoration and everything that made its fame: a long bar, exposed stone walls, good music, darts and above all a good place to watch the matches. At weekends, night owls take over this space to party to the sound of music from the 1980s-1990's through cartoon soundtracks. The rue Saint-Nicolas regularly resounds with Michel Sardou's famous chorus of "Lac du Connemara", which was played by the entire assembly. The Troll regularly organizes theme parties (Halloween, St. Patrick's Day...)

After working with Christopher Coutanceau and at Le Bistrol, Théo Chéreau has returned to his home town. For the past 3 years, he has been offering the people of La Rochelle the chance to sample his pastries in his pretty tearoom, ideally located just a stone's throw from the Halles. Strolling through the arcades, strollers often stop in front of the window displaying the creations of this enthusiast. A word of advice: give in to temptation and enter!

The name of this bar owes nothing to chance, it offers a simply magnificent setting. On sunny days, you can sit on the terrace in the heart of a lively street, but don't forget the room with its plant decoration and cosy little spaces. The menu offers many delights: rosé and white wines, champagnes, draught beers... But if many people come here, it is above all to sip famous cocktails, whose list changes with the seasons. Rum, tequila, gin, vodka... or without alcohol... the barman knows how to make everything!
