Gault&Millau's review 2025

Selected

To say it's an institution would be an understatement! The warm, noisy seaside atmosphere, the view of the Ile d'Aix and Fouras, the Italian and seafood cuisine, which is all very consensual, have a lot to do with it. Since 2015, Mirko Bettini's successors, Maïté and Romuald, have been working hard to maintain the restaurant's reputation. The wood-fired oven continues to churn out crisp, well-topped pizzas, and the pasta that comes out of the kitchen still holds its own: linguine alle vongole, linguine "carbo", tortiglioni di marta... Meat dishes fall a little short, and the mastery of wood-fired fish cooking is not absolute... Classic desserts (tiramisu della mamma, crème brûlée...). A short, standardized list of French and Italian wines, from which you can nevertheless choose a Sancerre from Domaine Fouassier or a Provence rosé from Château du Galoupet. Smiling, dynamic service.
