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!
