Le Grand Bleu sur Saint-Gilles-Croix-De-Vie

We received a very warm welcome. It's a shame one of the waitresses wasn't very friendly. This comment was made at several tables.

We had reserved a table for 11 people this Sunday at lunchtime and were seated right in front of the bar. It was extremely noisy with drinks being clinked, trays being thrown onto the bar, and the music being played loudly; we couldn't hear ourselves speak. We asked for the music to be turned down and were made to feel like we were disturbing them. Aside from that, there was a wide selection on the menu. According to reviews, the octopus and fish were delicious, while the pizzas and croque monsieur weren't very popular. The children's menu was generous. In short, you're mainly paying for the location, and at the beginning of September, it's clear that the season is over...

Hearty and very good meal, very pleasant staff.

The starter was excellent and generous, as was the main course. The setting was magnificent and the staff friendly; if I had to recommend a restaurant, it would obviously be this one.

Everything is truly excellent!! As usual. Very nice restaurant! However, the waiter (very tall, very thin) – I don't know his name, I think it's Alexandre! – should change professions. It's a shame, he's very presentable! The two tables on either side of us weren't happy either (there were no mussels that day, and this wasn't indicated at the entrance). We ordered two Vendée spritzes as usual, octopus and chicken supreme, a beer, and a glass of wine. He told us, "I'll bring everything together!" I replied very politely, "First, the aperitif, please." He responded, "You should have said so earlier, I can't guess!" in such a tone! As if we were bringing the main courses at the same time as the aperitif! This is the first time we've ever experienced anything like this! We live in St. Gilles and come all year round, alone or with family and friends! We were very surprised and somewhat offended by his attitude! It was the last day of the month, maybe his last shift, so he didn't care! What a shame! We eat at all the restaurants in St. Gilles and Sion and are always, always very well received and never disappointed!

A wonderful discovery! 😊 We came for lunch on Friday with a friend and my dog. We received a very warm welcome, and our furry friend was also very welcome, with fresh water brought to us as soon as we arrived 🐶. The service was very friendly, the portions were generous, and they had excellent vegetarian options, which is quite rare! We loved the veggie burger and the lamb chops. The wine was also very good and nicely chilled 🍷. Everything was perfect, nothing to complain about! We'll definitely be back. I highly recommend this place!

Excellent meal, very good service and a successful seaside atmosphere.

Nice place with a lovely terrace, the waiter was super friendly and had a great sense of humor. However, the service was very slow, almost two hours between our arrival and departure. The portions were generous (well worth the price).

We came for lunch today. Just one small complaint: the mussels marinière weren't great. The rest was good. And the waitress was incredibly pleasant; I highly recommend Celine. She makes you want to come back.

A very pleasant surprise at lunchtime. The food was of very high quality. It's a bit of a shame I couldn't get my octopus carpaccio as they were out. However, I was very satisfied with the starter that replaced it. The andouillette sausage and the croque monsieur were excellent. The dessert was also very good, with a generous portion – nothing could be more enjoyable. I highly recommend it.
