Gault&Millau's review 2026

A vacation vibe permeates this charming summer restaurant, which is open only from April through the end of October. With a terrace overlooking the lush pool area and a light-filled dining room crowned by a beautiful wooden beam ceiling, the restaurant cultivates an elegant and serene seaside atmosphere. The chef champions a precise, seasonal cuisine deeply rooted in the produce of Noirmoutier Island, where technique always serves flavor. The perfectly cooked egg, hidden beneath a potato emulsion and accompanied by a cream of peas with snails, illustrates the precision of the cooking. The low-temperature cod, served with a pea risotto and a saffron-infused seafood cream, confirms the restaurant’s technical mastery. The all-chocolate dessert, enhanced by a coffee sorbet, concludes the meal with indulgence and finesse. The young and attentive staff provides discreet service throughout the meal. The well-curated wine list features independent wineries and organic wines. Two set menus, priced at €31 and €41, offer a chance to discover this local, seasonal cuisine at a particularly compelling value.
