L'Abissiou
Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin
€€€€
This fine dining restaurant is tucked away in a quiet back street between the indoor market and the beautiful church, Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Port. Its name, in the local dialect, refers to the small fish caught by children in the port. At the helm, a talented pair, Mélanie Roussy and Boris Harispe, trained at Michelin-starred restaurants (including La Villa Madie), have decked the place out in a contemporary style (navy and white walls, designer furniture etc). The menu is packed with seafood dishes (among others) and constantly changes, as the chef scrupulously follows the seasons, works with all

Alice, le bistrot - Manoir de la Mortière
Traditional Cuisine · Bib
€€
Located in the Manoir de la Mortière, this bistro’s inviting decor mixes textured lime-washed walls, old beams, terracotta floor tiles and a period fireplace. The food smacks of heartwarming sincerity, thanks to carefully crafted comfort food: organic poached egg in red wine; free-range chicken à la basquaise; tournedos of beef cooked over embers with a béarnaise sauce and a warm cappuccino-flavoured soufflé to finish.

Le Quai des Saveurs

€€€
You can expect a warm welcome with the bonus of a sea view from Estelle and Maxime Dourdin. The chef, formerly of establishments of the calibre of the Four Seasons George V in Paris, signs a single set menu that changes frequently depending on market availability. Unusual, well-crafted dishes in the zeitgeist, such as mussels in white wine, jalapeno sauce, fermented milk and herb-flavoured tapioca.

Les Genêts
Creative · ★ Michelin
€€€
This stylishly refurbished mansion a few kilometres from Les Sables-d'Olonne is home to talented couple Amélie and Nicolas Coutand. An advocate of fresh, seasonal produce, his approach is creative, joyful and flavoursome; regional ingredients take pride of place on his menu, from premium produce to humbler items such as sardine, mackerel and hake. A huge 1 400m2 kitchen garden brings a vegetal flourish to his light, exquisitely refined dishes. On weekday lunchtimes, bistronomy is the name of the game.

La Cuisine de Bertrand
Traditional Cuisine
€€
Opposite the fishing harbour, it is well worth keeping an eye open for this low-profile restaurant. The chef unashamedly crafts textbook French recipes with the objective of showcasing first-rate ingredients in dishes that hit the spot every time. Diligent service.

L'Estran
Modern Cuisine
€€
Ceviche of seabass, coconut milk, ginger and sweet potato guacamole; lightly seared wild prawns in Espelette pepper, artichokes glazed in tarragon with a langoustine emulsion… In this dinky quayside restaurant, whose terrace overlooks the port, chef Xavier Audren pursues a bistronomic quest that takes its cue from the seasons and the fish market just down the street. A concise menu, flawless craftsmanship together with lashings of flavour and colour.

La Cotriade
Seafood
€€
At this family-run restaurant on the quayside opposite the fishing port, the seafood counter piled high with fish and shellfish sets the tone. The seafaring theme continues inside, where the chef busies himself in the open kitchen. The menu features seafood platters and specialities such as the famous cotriade (hence the name) – Brittany's answer to bouillabaisse. Then there is the selection of fresh fish chalked up on the daily specials board, and a few meat dishes.

Lacertus
Modern Cuisine
€€
Good-humoured staff, friendly service, a convivial atmosphere, modern cuisine with a touch of inventiveness (eg fish sausage or a seaweed/mustard sorbet as part of the mackerel starter; a lime/pea sorbet alongside a chocolate dessert), quality local produce and a few ingredients gathered wild (mustard seeds): this is the winning formula behind this small restaurant a stone's throw from Le Remblai promenade. In case you were wondering, the name Lacertus means "mackerel" in Latin.
