Le Bateau d'Emile sur La Rochelle

28/02/2026: Service, setting and quality of products (carefully presented dishes) are all excellent! A great experience.

26/02/2026: Discovering the aquarium and the restaurant. The pros: - The generous and separate side dishes - The menu items - The lounge areas at the entrance and behind the bar - The baby changing area, which isn't in the women's restroom, and whose changing mat is on a firm surface (a huge plus for a wriggling child!) - The high chair, as well as the offer to warm up food (even though I didn't need it) - The view The cons (which wasn't a surprise, since we mentioned it during our meal): Only soft drinks or cocktails are entitled to appetizers, but not a glass of wine or beer. The absurdity of this meant that, on that day (a Monday during school holidays, near La Rochelle), the appetizers were served to two children at the table next to us (the youngest of whom wouldn't have been entitled to them, according to any parent strictly following the recommendations for introducing solids...). I did not appreciate that the "fault" (of the lack of service, then of the lack of information) was placed on "the colleague who is starting today".
