The best bars and cafés Pays Royannais

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.
