Fantastic, cosy and very friendly restaurant with wonderful food. The small squid with sweet potato was excellent and the code was beautifully cooked. The staff are very helpful and will explain the menu if your French isn't sufficient. Good value for money

Wow! An amazing culinary delight! Multiple choices for the entrée, plat, and dessert, which one doesn't always find in small restaurants. Food was amazing, service impeccable, and nice choices of wines. Our waiter recommended some perfect pairings. Wish I could give 6 stars. Booking is an absolute must. A wonderful dinner! Kudos to the small, yet very talented team delivering a truly fantastic evening of high quality offerings. Oh, and the reason why the price might seem a bit high is because we opted for an apéro, then a delicious Gascogne moelleux to go with the foie gras, a Muscat, and two different red wines with the main. Glasses were generously filled.

Small menu but great quality and taste. It is what you hope to find in france. We ordered wine by the glass and so changed with courses, about the same as by bottle! had a free top up too... Lovely night with partner and the waiter was entertaining, spoke English better than my French.

Intimate little restaurant with a great menu! There’s not a huge choice but it’s all home made and enough to satisfy most palets. Open kitchen so you can see the chefs - nothing to hide which is a good sign. The price for the menu is very reasonable too and lots of choice of wine by the glass. Service very good and friendly - top place to eat in Pornic !

It may be a small restaurant, but it is packed even when the streets are empty. The chef himself was present and was always there to make sure our stay was pleasant. The food is pure poetry - I have never had such a tender filet mignon my whole life. We will gladly come again!

This is a great little restaurant (the 'Guide Du Routard' awards in the windows are a hint that you should stop by). I'm not sure which I should recommend more highly: the choice of wine or the quality of the cooking. Both were memorable! Chapeau!

The restaurant opens to the back street (just behind the busy promenade along the port). Can't go wrong with any dish on the menu that changes with season. Super friendly staff as well. Not to be missed! Great wine and cheese selection as well!
