Christopher Coutanceau

Seafood, Modern Cuisine · ★★★ Michelin

€€€€

Overlooking the Plage de la Concurrence, the sign on the front of the restaurant says it all: "Christopher Coutanceau, chef and fisherman." Fishing here is a lifelong family passion, and Christopher takes it further by campaigning for sustainable methods and against waste. His sincere and unfussy cuisine, with its bouquet of marine scents, an invigorating ode to the Atlantic Ocean, is an extension of this commitment. The finest fish and seafood - turbot, sole, sea urchin - is prepared with care and imagination, while the modest mackerel or sardine is rendered sublime by the same devotion and t

Briemm

Traditional Cuisine · Bib

€€

"Briemm" is a contraction of Brice and Emmanuelle, who have partnered up (in business and in life) to found this dinky eatery in a lovely stone-built house, which is depicted by generous cooking and a gracious welcome. The sensibly priced patriotic lineup stars a succulent list of dishes that reveals a genuine eye for detail and a fine bouquet of flavours, e.g. crunchy pig’s trotters, purée of granny smith apples and caramelised walnuts, or flame-licked mackerel flanked by watercress soup and squid ink-laced shortbread. What’s not to like?

After 18 years at Le Saison near Rennes, David Etcheverry has moved to this restaurant in the centre of La Rochelle. It is a small place with a sleek modern loft design, where they serve refined, unfailingly delicious dishes. A real treat for the taste buds.

Annette

Modern Cuisine

€€

This pair (she is from Ile de Ré, he hails from Bristol) met in a restaurant in Amsterdam, before going on to open this modern bistro in La Rochelle. Pale wooden furnishings, a zellige-tiled wall and a small terrace overlooking a pedestrian street set the scene. The culinary focus is French, fresh and flavoursome! The chef showcases his technique and talent, illustrated by hake with caramelised cauliflower, hazelnuts and lemon, while his partner regales us with desserts, some of which pay tribute to her grand-mother, Annette.

Arco

Modern Cuisine

€€€

Beneath the arcades of Rue du Minage, Arco shares a glass façade with the hotel Maison des Ambassadeurs. The menu has two options: an appealing lunch set menu and more elaborate dishes in the evening. The seafood and vegetable-forward cuisine doesn't shy away from original combinations, such as scallops paired with radish, kiwi and pike roe. The terrace extending into the rear courtyard is a charming feature.

Host

Modern Cuisine

€€

Alice Roger and her partner have set up shop just a stone's throw from the market, in a simple, contemporary location inspired by their first meeting in the United Kingdom. The warm, unpretentious welcome reflects the philosophy of the restaurant: getting to the heart of the matter. Organised into market-inspired lunch options and a more ambitious tasting menu featuring premium ingredients, the chef's cuisine exudes well-defined flavours. Dishes such as bluefin tuna with beetroot and sorrel, and a dessert bursting with colour and flavour – coffee, tonka bean, hazelnut and Peruvian chocolate –

Opaline

Creative

€€€

In this modern, spruce little restaurant located next to the Comédie La Rochelle theatre, the cuisine is the handiwork of a motivated young couple who met at Alexandre Mazzia. The pair's trademark is creative, colourful cuisine, each dish coming with three satellite-style variations, such as hake with peas and cabbage, accompanied by lentils with a haddock emulsion and a seaweed blini with home-made taramasalata on the side. Bistronomy-style formule menu at lunchtime; for dinner, their fine dining tasting menus, which change every four months or so, comprise different numbers of "sequences".

MARAH

Modern Cuisine

€€

Derived from the Hebrew word for "bitter", but also evoking the verb "to love" and the name Marie – a nod to Louis Robergeau and Léa Viano's grandmothers – the name resonates like a declaration. In their intimate bistro in the old Cougnes neighbourhood, the duo welcome their guests as they would friends, as they alternate between roles in the kitchen and front of house. Their network of local producers is a boon: fish and shellfish from nearby fish markets, duck from Vendée, dairy products from Surgères. Set menus – simpler at lunchtime, more ambitious in the evening – showcase the best of eac
