L'Atelier du 16 sur Saint-Gilles-Croix-De-Vie

The homemade foie gras as a starter was truly excellent!

Fantastic food and lovely staff! Be sure to reserve in advance because they are always full.

A very small restaurant with limited seating and a small dining room: not recommended for a romantic dinner. Nice decor. The menu is also small, as everything is homemade—you can even watch the chefs at work. The dishes are well-presented and delicious! However, it's rather expensive. The set lunch menu isn't enough: it only includes a salad. Otherwise, I recommend it.

To end our vacation on a high note, we went for dinner at this fantastic restaurant! From the appetizers to the dessert, everything was excellent!! From the fish rillettes to the veggie burger and the succulent Italian tartare!! Come without hesitation to spend time with family or friends! Thank you so much to the staff, keep up the good work! A clean restaurant and remarkable homemade cuisine!! We'll be back 💖💖

Mussels and fries were very good and high quality; the children's menu had impeccable portions. Everything was homemade and really very good.

A workshop with refined flavors and original, excellent dishes (Andouillette Parmentier - French toast with salted caramel). A must-try!

A very good place, with a truly pleasant setting and top-notch service: a friendly, smiling, and efficient team. The food is very good, but I feel it sometimes lacks a bit of polish. The Camembert was tasty but served rather simply and under-seasoned. The burger was also good, but a little small and lacking in sauce. It's also a shame that the fries aren't homemade, and the ketchup, mayo, and mustard are served in individual portions. Homemade sauce would have been a real improvement. Overall, a good experience, but with a few details that could easily elevate the food to a higher level. This is all the more disappointing because the ambiance and service are truly excellent.

Absolutely delicious, and the dishes were beautifully presented! All three of us thoroughly enjoyed it! We highly recommend this place!

A very pleasant surprise regarding the food, which is definitely the highlight of this restaurant. The dishes are very good, with beautiful presentation, the drinks are refreshing and tasty, and the desserts are also excellent. All this at very reasonable prices. The only truly appealing aesthetic feature is the open kitchen, which allows you to watch the dishes being prepared. Otherwise, neither the exterior nor the interior is particularly inviting. The outdoor tables are also set up on sloping paving stones, which can be quite uncomfortable over time, especially with relatively small tables. The main drawback, however, remains the service. The waitress we had was dressed in jogging pants, which doesn't look very professional in a restaurant, and we got the distinct impression that we were bothering her rather than being greeted with a smile. It's a real shame because the rest of the experience was very positive. One last minor point: the fries are frozen, which is a bit of a letdown compared to such good and well-presented food. Despite these minor points, we had a very good meal and found the value for money to be excellent. With warmer service and a few improvements to the ambiance, it would clearly be a very good restaurant.

Highly recommended, good, simple cuisine at reasonable prices. A great place to eat with family, but a word of advice: book in advance.
