My French is a bit rusty...and didn't include many seafood names, fortunately the waiter took pity on us and did a good translation. When he got to the Moules, he said it was their specialty and they get them fresh right there. So, how could we resist. My husband got the fish, but mine were the best. I had been told the French don't eat with their fingers, but they make an exception for these. Next time we will try the assortment plate, saw those coming out just as we were leaving. Lovely people, doing it right! BTW, don't trust your GPS directions, if you reach a dirt/gravel road, it's wrong. This is right on the water.

I could start this review with a lot of expletives trying to describe how amazingly wonderful this…read morerestaurant is - from the absolutely perfect service, to the immaculate food and presentation, everything could not, literally, have been better! We stopped in for lunch while in town and had the 70 euro tasting menu (the baby tasting menu!), with some added local oysters. The oysters were massive (a bit to much for our tastes), but they were the sea in a single bite. Our tasting menu started with this undescribable bowl of seafood, which included some langostino, cockles, oysters, and an amazing broth that highlighted kaffir lime. Just wow... Next we had some fresh ahi tuna. I'm not sure their are words to describe how good this simply prepared was. It was cooked like a steak, with a wonderful sear. The side dish, zucchini with egg and black olives was unique and was just enough to add to the dish, but got out of the way of the wonderful tuna. Dessert was equally amazing and unique. I had the mint, dark chocolate mousse dish that tasted of fresh, green mint with a great dark chocolate with crunchy bits. My wife had a raspberry meringue that was, again, amazing. I keep using the words amazing and wonderful, but that is accurate. The impeccable service, the perfect food, the wonderful (that word again!) wine list and great location make this a must if you are in La Rochelle.

C'était la première fois que j'allais dans un restaurant étoilé…read more et bien c'est une adresse formidable : par le cadre (le tableau se regarde par la fenêtre : c'est la vue sur la mer), par la gentillesse du service (abordable, souriant, prévenant, pas envahissant) et bien sûr la qualité de la cuisine. Le tout pour un prix somme toute abordable puisque si on choisit le menu, on s'en tire à 52 Euros par personne (précisons : sans le vin ni le café). Ca donne envie de se faire à nouveau plaisir dans un restaurant étoilé, chez Coutanceau ou un autre de ses confrères.
