This café offers one of the most pleasant terraces in Pontaillac. It enjoys a prime location in the heart of the magnificent Pontaillac district, just across from the beach and casino. It's a great opportunity to sit out on the terrace and enjoy the iodine-filled atmosphere, or to settle into a cosy banquette in the dining room. The view over the ocean makes you want to sample the seafood: fine oysters, special oysters, whelks and shrimps. With friends, enjoy a cocktail with a platter of cheeses or charcuterie.

This casino is one of the town's most emblematic landmarks. It owes this reputation as much to its prestigious past as to its idyllic location on Pontaillac beach.

Here, you can sip a cocktail, enjoy a coffee, treat yourself to a plate of special Marennes Oléron oysters or devour the famous "big burger".
