Les Bafouettes sur L'Ile-D'Yeu

Everything was perfect. The meal, the setting, the tranquility, and the lack of foot traffic. We enjoyed hake, tuna, and a gourmet coffee that we shared; everything was excellent. The portions were generous for average-sized eaters. The staff and manager were very pleasant. We're actually going back for lunch today. A restaurant with excellent value for money.

Lunch on Friday, September 18th for 4 adults, very warm welcome 👍, delicious dishes and equally delicious desserts. You can go there without hesitation.

Excellent seafood sauerkraut. Generous portions of fish. Pleasant and quiet setting. Affordable set menu (€10 starter / €18 main course / €8 dessert).

Twenty out of twenty...we'll be back! Obviously not for burger lovers...

Excellent food, everything was delicious from the appetizer to the dessert! Thank you 😊

Everything was superb! Excellent from start to finish, and a wonderful welcome! Thank you!

Absolutely incredible! We had a wonderful evening. From start to finish, everything was superb, from the food to the service. The dishes were particularly remarkable, with flavors worthy of a Michelin star. If you want to eat exceptionally well on Île d'Yeu, then go without hesitation!

This restaurant is essentially two establishments in one. The first is in the kitchen. There, someone is working, experimenting, daring. The flavor combinations demonstrate a rare intelligence, the ingredients are carefully chosen, and the portions are generous. You can sense a hand that still loves its craft. To this chef, or this invisible team, we extend our deepest respect. The second establishment, alas, begins at the kitchen door and continues all the way to the cash register. There, we will charitably call the service "efficient"—meaning that you are served as if you were being handed a cloakroom ticket. Plates don't land on the table; they slam onto it, in a gesture that seems to say: *Here, eat, and let's not talk about it anymore.* The waiter, whose mustache is as stiff as the friendliness he bestows upon us, operates with the grace of a weary metronome. And what about the owner? A mysterious creature whose only sign of interest in her customers is to present the bill and inquire, in a vaguely annoyed tone, about our method of payment—"You don't have contactless?"—as if we were guilty of some unforgivable archaism. Otherwise, silence. No questions, no glances, no smiles, no curiosity about the opinions of those who have just spent time—and money—in her establishment. The customer is served, not looked at. So, should we see this as the weariness of the end of the season, that seasonal fatigue that transforms tourists into burdens and smiles into chores? Or should we read it, more prosaically, as a chronic deficiency in the art of hospitality, which neither the season nor fatigue can explain? When in doubt, we'll opt for the second hypothesis. Because cooking, unlike cooking, knows no off-season. One star for the food. A dunce cap for everything else!

A wonderful time thanks to a wonderful meal...
