Went for dinner after a long day at work. We were warned that it was best to get here right when…read morethey open at 7:30pm, as they get busy most nights of the week. Sure enough, we were there as soon as they opened and within a half hour it was 2/3 full. Service was very friendly but, because the owner was working alone tonight, very slow. The food, however, was fabulous. Everything was very fresh and very flavorful. Dinner and appetizers took close to two hours, so not something for a rushed evening. But it was worth it for the food.

This has to be the best meal I've had in Pornichet and possibly in all my recent visits to France,…read morewith service to match. An eclectic restaurant on the sand with the pretty Pornichet beach as the back drop. Although it's much too cold and windy to sit outside right now, that did not diminish the experience because the interiors of the restaurant have so much charm. We had a large talkative group and sat at a rustic table by the panoramic windows next to a quirky double sided fireplace. Large lanterns on the tables flickered and created a cozy atmosphere as did the varied dining chairs with faux fur throws. Oh and the food! For someone who doesn't eat oysters, I had three! From the largest oyster producing region in the world, the famous Fine De Claire oysters come from Marennes Oleron where they are finished in special salt ponds. They are fruity and sweet. The main dish was a delicious black risotto with plump sea scallops and shrimp on a bed of "vadouvan" sauce, an Indian curry. And the traditional dessert and coffee, Cafe Gourmand, was a surprise of three little desserts accompanied by a message. Mine read to enjoy every second of everyday. This dinner was a good example that!

What a total vibe Nina a la Plage is! Our tour guide booked this spot for dinner on our first night…read morein Pornichet and we loved it. It's a beach lounge on the sand and it's absolutely gorgeous inside. Sadly it was rainy and cold when we visited but I imagine on a warm day this place gets lit. Their cocktails are delish, I started with a green sand which was almost larger than my head. We also got a shellfish platter, scallop crudo and tuna tataki with Thai noodles. Everyone else's food looked very good too. We also ordered bottles of white wine which were flowing like water. Our server, Josh, was super friendly and helpful. Even tho we do not speak French and he did not speak English with a bit of talking with our hands and Google translate we made it work just fine and we had a blast. They have a bit of a party vibe for birthdays- think sparklers and costumes- so that was definitely an unexpected surprise. Would most definitely stop here if you find yourself in Pornichet!
