Christopher Coutanceau

Restaurant★★★ Michelin€€€€16.0 km

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

L'Hysope

Restaurant€€€6.6 km

In a quaint little village, a short drive from La Rochelle, this restaurant stands at the end of a pedestrian only lane. Alsace-born chef Nicolas Durif unveils his passion for plants (like hyssop), of which he uses up to 60 in summertime, sourced from France and the rest of the world. Discreet nods to his homeland can be found in his creative lineup and in the enticing wine list. His several course surprise menus rich in citrus fruits and Asian spices come highly recommended.

Briemm

RestaurantBib Gourmand€€18.2 km

"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?

La Pierrevue

Restaurant€€9.6 km

"There are six seasons in the year": with this saying in mind, chef Cécile Richard adapts her recipes to the times, with a drive for creativity that can be sensed in her fresh and precise cuisine. Locally caught fish, fruit and vegetables from organic market gardeners, aromatic herbs and flowers from the garden can be enjoyed in this farmhouse, converted in a pleasant rustic style. Attractive glass-paned wine cellar. New menu every two months.

L'Instant Z

Restaurant€€€10.2 km

Z for Zanchetta, the chef celebrates his Italian heritage with sun-drenched cuisine and lashings of flair and talent: creamy risotto of scallops à la “risi e bisi”, spianata and cuttlefish ink jus; pearlescent cod on polenta with wild garlic and a wildly decadent and incredibly ethereal pavlova of strawberries and chocolate to finish. House baked bread and rillettes of hake kick off the show in this buzzy bistro in the heart of the village, where generosity and delicacy go hand in hand.

L'Astrolabe

Restaurant€€15.0 km

An astrolabe is a disc-shaped astronomical instrument that was used to calculate longitudes and latitudes, and this restaurant transports you from one country to another (from Finland to Guatemala) and from one cuisine to another. Each dish is depicted by a fusion of world culinary traditions, as is exemplified by the mohinga of line-caught whiting. A journey to be savoured in a bright, pleasant interior with a buzzy chic bistro vibe.

MARAH

Restaurant€€15.1 km

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

Host

Restaurant€€15.1 km

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 –
