La Villa Arbousier sur Vendays-Montalivet

Too expensive First try for this restaurant with French and Asian cuisine. Pleasant bohemian decor, comfortable tables and chairs. Attentive and friendly service. Surprise on the menu, the prices of the dishes are really surprising especially since there is no menu (in the evening a priori, I don't know if there is a lunch menu, I don't have the information). Well-measured aperitifs. The well-proportioned wok of scallops and shrimp is hearty but sorely lacking in taste. The onions and peppers are almost raw. The 2 profiterole-style cannelés on the other hand are a real delight. The recipe is successful and it's really very very delicious. We had an aperitif, a main course, a dessert, a bottle of wine for 4 people. €65 per person without starter is expensive, with a quality of cuisine that I don't see on the plate for the main course. Friends are of the same opinion. To be retested if a menu formula is created but I will not come back for the moment.

Very good, very warm welcome, very well cooked and very tender meat, homemade fries, succulent pepper sauce. The profiterole cinnamon rolls are delicious.
