After our wine tasting at St. Emilion, my husband and I decided to make the trek here. About an…read morehour and a half later, we arrived, found parking and got seated within two minutes. Originally, I was a bit worried I'd need to whip out Google translate for the menu (but my husband says he couldve translated some of the menu because he is a chef who studied French culinary arts) but all worry was moot due to the English menu (oh thank goodness). That aside, we decided with tap water, the assortment of starters which consisted of cured meats, smoked salmon, ground up tuna, shrimp and duck with lots of servings of bread - I swear, with each dish and empty bucket, our waitress just refilled it with four more pieces of warm bread. My favorite as always was definitely the chorizo! My husband also got oysters and I certainly am not a fan but he made me try - which, honestly, he put too much lemon juice and I still am not a fan but according to him, it was good and fresh (I guess as long as it's fresh, you can't go wrong with it). Next came our entree which consisted of duck breast with his duck liver and my pork. The foie gras was super fatty and melted in mouth and the duck was cooked to perfection. My pork neck was pretty good and I loved the sauce that went along with it. I was happy to get some salad too because on vacation, I feel like vegetables become a side character that scarcely appears. I was definitely full after dinner and one dessert was good for the both of us. And being fans of chocolate, we got the chocolate dome which wasn't too sweet. Overall, our experience here was terrific! Would recommend if you're in the area - plus it's close to a beach so I think it'll be nice in the afternoon.

Great staff - very friendly and the food is awesome! Intimate seating and dog friendly.read more

I really would have to say we are…read morenot the easiest group to handle, as my three year old is quite picky with what he wants and so is my mum. She cannot handle too much food at all, one stater is already pushing her limit. My three year old is hard to guess, wether he's going to eat much or not that meal. So I could only order so much in the beginning and add more later on. This has been a constant problem in many French restaurants. However, to my surprise the beautiful waitress here had no problem with that at all! And was always serving is with a hearty smile! I was very happy with the food and the service! The food, by the way, cannot be complained! Even the child' s menu provides the yummiest chicken breast with cream sauce and half French fries and half portion vegetables of the day. To my surprise, my son nearly finished all his food! Even the veggies!!! He loved it!! I strongly recommend you to give this place a try! The only down side that I could think of is that the oysters are a bit smaller than other restaurants, but this we knew from the beginning. It was marked No. 4 in the menu. For oyster lovers might be a little disappointing, but hey, the flavor is still really good.

Or was it my limited grasp of the French language that had me thinking it was more than it was? Well let me tell you- all of the recommendations were spot on! This place was not only beautiful to look at and with service that went out of their way to take care of this non French speaking girl- but the food was amazing as well! I went early as I didn't have a reservation. Given it was a warm night- the outdoor covered patio was open which is quite lovely facing a wooded area. There is also a bar area and a lower level to this restaurant. Given I was a party of one, after speaking to the manager (owner?) I decided the best place for me to enjoy my dinner and not take of one of the few tables was to enjoy my meal at the bar. The menu is presented on a huge board with all the fresh items that had been gotten at the market that day. So know that what I had may not be available on the night you go but whatever you have I am sure it will be wonderful as from my vantage point I was able to watch the food coming out of the kitchen and it all looked and smelled wonderful. I started with some raw oysters (these are on every menu in town as they are a local specialty) you can also have them cooked. I also managed to pick a wonderful red wine from a list of French wines that I was not familiar with- but the bartender/server was great and offered me up one of his favorites. For my main course I had a veal loin, perfectly grilled which was served with mashed potatoes and a mix of vegetables. All beautifully presented and all fresh and delightful! And as I sat there and sipped my wine- my server asked if I wanted to see a dessert menu. Now the right answer should have been an emphatic "no" given all the food I had already had . . .but I knew given how good the dinner had been- that they must have something as wonderfully decadent to satisfy my sweet tooth. Back came out another board with a long listing of wonderful sounding desserts. And as I grabbed my phone to start looking up what the words meant, my server came to my rescue one more time and suggested a local Bordeaux specialty cake . . .something called a canele. Well, when traveling- I always want to try something local so I said "Sure"!. This dessert was so impossibly good that I was in food heaven. These little cakes were chocolate delights and they served them profiterole style which means that there was some type of ice cream served between the two cakes and then drizzled with warm chocolate sauce. I sat there licking my fork and had such a look of supreme bliss on my face that the language barrier slipped away and all I could say was "tres manifique"! And imagine my surprise after a few glasses of wine- an impossibly good meal and that wonderful dessert that my total bill was only 61Euro! A wonderful evening in a wonderful restaurant in Arcachon! And a special shout out to the great staff who took such good care of me as I muddled through their language but they served me with the same care and attention that others that they obviously knew received . . .and that is what separates a good restaurant from a great one! My only wish? That I didn't have to fly to another country to visit this restaurant again!!!

The main course arrived straight after and the staff were eyeing our plates and kept walking past our table, waiting for us to be done eating.
