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

Nouche

Modern Cuisine

Chef Chloé Clamens runs this bistro nestled in a lively street by the port. The attentive and friendly team immediately make you feel welcome in this space that exudes authenticity – exposed stone and light-coloured wood, a handsome vaulted cellar, and a small terrace. The concise menu eschews frills and opaque names, instead highlighting the quality of the ingredients, which are prepared precisely and simply. Examples include "pâté Grand-Mère" or veal onglet with morels served with fregola sarda.

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?

Les Flots

Seafood, Modern Cuisine

€€€

This restaurant in a converted 18C estaminet boasts an ideal location on the port of La Rochelle, and has a delightful terrace at the foot of the Tour de la Chaîne. They serve refined cuisine in which the flavours of the ocean enjoy the limelight, for example, "lobster stew with glazed seasonal vegetables, mushroom ravioli with lobster roe, a jus made from lobster juices and an inkling of ginger", chef Grégory Coutanceau's signature dish.

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.

La Yole de Chris

Seafood

€€€

This dazzling place by Christopher Coutanceau offers two incomparable pleasures: for the eyes and for the taste buds. A long counter in the shape of a skiff (light, long and narrow boat), houses the open kitchen, where the cooks can be seen in action. Seafood (oysters and shellfish) and fish of the day enjoy pride of place on the menu here... to be enjoyed on the terrace that overlooks the sea, in fine weather. Booking recommended.

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.

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 –
