Grain de Folie sur Pornichet

Top-notch! The welcome, the friendliness, and the quality of the products were all excellent. Everything was perfect. From RAID!

An excellent lunch in every aspect of the experience! From the welcome to the background music and especially, of course, the food itself, all at an affordable price: What more could you ask for? Even with just the set lunch menu, we were treated to an amuse-bouche: very tasty mackerel and ginger! For my starter, I had homemade fish fritters with a perfectly spiced Creole sauce and mixed greens. Then, for both of us, we had crispy cod with chorizo, accompanied by rice dishes with mixed vegetables and a verde sauce: a burst of flavor! My wife ordered a vanilla panna cotta with mango coulis and lime zest, topped with an almond tuile, and I couldn't resist following suit, ordering French toast with roasted pineapple and Sichuan pepper, flambéed with rum: a real treat! Even the espresso, accompanied by their homemade coconut macaroons, was perfect. All that was missing were a few friendly words exchanged with the manager, who was perfect, like all the staff! And all this overlooking Libraires beach, which beckoned us for a relaxing afternoon. The rest of the menu makes you dream of wonderful evenings spent sharing delicious food at the Grain de Folie restaurant: it would be crazy to miss out 🤪

We had a wonderful time: the welcome was very warm, the service impeccable, and the food delicious. The set menu with starter, main course, and dessert delighted us, with touches of originality and very refined flavors. Our son also enjoyed the children's menu ("10/10 for the burger," according to him). Thank you for your warm welcome; we hope to return soon!

A lovely spot for dinner on the banks of the Loire after a must-see visit to the colorful houses of Trentemoult.

A warm welcome, attentive service, refined cuisine using seasonal and local ingredients, transformed with technical expertise to enhance their authentic flavors. And all this with a sea view. We had a lovely time.

Great food and wine selection, extremly kind staff!

We have lunch at Grain de Folie every time we visit Pornichet; the menu is always original and the dishes are delicious!

The bistronomy spirit takes center stage at "Grain de Folie," with its focus on locally sourced products. Chef Catherine's creative, travel-inspired cuisine, infused with the briny flavors of the sea, delighted us and tantalized our taste buds. Her expertly crafted dishes combine the aesthetics and technical skill of today's chefs, such as the sea bream ceviche, the "Bômlo" salmon with yuzu ponzu, enriched with a soy sauce, and the tuna takaki with black pepper. The sweet notes are perfectly elevated and worthy of the finest pastry chefs, notably the strawberry melba with lime zest and her own take on rum baba. A truly delightful and rare culinary pleasure awaits at this flavorful restaurant with its contemporary décor overlooking the sea. I must also mention Eric's particularly warm welcome.

Nice place only if you're not in a hurry… The lack of staff is seriously noticeable. However, the dishes are good and generous; thanks only to the ladies for their service and kindness. Be careful not to take on more customers than you can handle…

Since the arrival of a very friendly couple in 2022, Grain de Folie has become one of my favorite restaurants. Don't let its unassuming appearance fool you; the food is remarkable. The menu is excellent: inventive, based on fresh, seasonal produce, with flavor combinations that pleasantly surprise the palate. The value for money is also excellent. A gem that I recommend without hesitation.
