Magasin Général sur La Rochelle

06/08/2026: Our child loved it so much that we had to come back a second time the same week. Thank you again for the service and the quality of your products. See you very soon when we return to La Rochelle.

06/08/2026: A Thursday evening at Pepone's, because it's a bit like a Proustian madeleine... We go there for its simple but delicious Italian dishes that warm the heart, even in the middle of summer. That was our experience that evening. There was a wait because they don't take reservations, but it's mentioned on Google, so no worries (but for those who like to book before eating, keep that in mind). However, it is possible to "reserve" a table on the spot, depending on availability, with varying lead times, which can give you the opportunity to stroll around the port or the surrounding streets, or have a drink nearby. There was also a wait for the menus; perhaps there was a hiccup in the organization? (We arrived at 8 pm and waited 25 minutes for a menu. A tip: go with someone you can easily chat with; it'll pass the time). The two-cheese pasta was good, but the sauce was perhaps too strong with the gorgonzola, which masked the flavor of the parmesan. Nevertheless, the pasta was cooked perfectly. You can't be excellent all the time, and I think we'll come back to see you next season when things have calmed down. Thank you to our server who did his best in his assigned area.
