La Ruche sur La Rochelle

29/06/2025: Attentive staff but pushes you to consume. Extensive menu, dishes sometimes not available.

08/06/2025: What a pleasure! First visit on Thursday, May 29, 2025, at 12:15 p.m. Discovered thanks to a (so-called) discount company, which allows you to cut through the mass of offerings. Excellent meats, amusing presentation of meat swords, and a very generous and very, very varied dessert in small, succulent portions. Only minor downside: the wine wasn't opened in front of us! 28 euros for a bottle of F****** that arrived open...maybe I shouldn't have said I didn't know anything about it, but my sweetheart did. Super friendly and welcoming bartender too. I ran into the chef, even more in keeping with the restaurant's Pirates decor, and he too was very polite and friendly. According to conversations, many locals seem to revisit this establishment, which probably speaks volumes about its consistency and consistent quality. I want to come back. Sally and Pierre PS: finally, a reasonably priced (2 euros) and very, very good coffee.
