20/08/2026: A great spot on the way to the beach. Fresh ingredients are prepared on-site. The kitchen is open to the dining area. There's a pergola on the terrace during the season.

04/09/2026: Perfect experience. Thank you to our server in suspenders for his attentive service. Excellent dishes and generous desserts. We were able to finish our meal on the terrace. Thank you for a lovely evening.

30/08/2026: A very bad lunch. Le Cardinal des Mers used to be an institution. Our family, who had been frequenting this restaurant for decades, has unfortunately lost its luster; only the view of the sea remains enchanting. On this Sunday at the end of August, we had chosen two set menus. The price was far too high for the quality of the food. The seafood platter included lopsided oysters, which meant they had lost their liquor... a worn knife that had lost its edge... far from ideal for cutting meat, accompanied by a tiny spoonful of mashed potatoes with the sea bass... and the profiterole's choux pastry was soggy... Our meal was marred by the incessant barking of a small dog at the next table. We finally complained and were moved to another table; it wasn't very pleasant to have to move during our meal, as the dog apparently had priority! Not to mention that this dog, sitting on its owner's lap, was eating from her plate—not very hygienic at all! Dog saliva carries pathogens like E. coli or salmonella, which sometimes persist after machine washing, increasing the risk of infection for humans. And let's not even mention the cold and dismissive attitude of the management, who took our €103 payment with a perfunctory "we apologize for the inconvenience." A word to the wise: steer clear.

07/06/2026: Much better than the bar next door, which refused us entry to our holy adventure (a pub crawl) that started at 10 a.m., we were served very quickly. I thank the staff at this bar and I recommend it.

02/06/2026: The new team is fantastic! I highly recommend them.

10/08/2026: Mr. Vincent Dassaud is perfect! Attentive, very competent, very kind. Thank you!

27/07/2026: Two insurance policies required (home and vehicle), quick processing using documents from previous insurance policies. Paperless contracts. Efficient information.

18/08/2026: Always a warm welcome and the food is excellent.

16/08/2026: Very good, fast and generous service

17/08/2026: Not recommended! A rude host/owner! Very unpleasant experience We came in just to have a couple of drinks and were not planning to eat. As soon as the owner realised that we were only ordering drinks, his attitude became noticeably rude and unwelcoming. At the end, he started gesturing at me to push my chair back into place, as if I had done something wrong. My boyfriend also wanted to throw away his empty can but couldn’t find a bin. Instead of simply telling him where it was, the owner rudely told him to go and look for it, even though he could easily have just left the can on the table. We understand that restaurants are primarily for dining, but there is absolutely no reason to treat customers with such disrespect just because they only want to have a drink.

15/08/2026: Excellent, very friendly welcome. Generous portions. Highly recommended.

30/08/2026: A very pleasant surprise: the Périgord salads and poke bowls were generous, especially with a nice slice of foie gras and plenty of gizzards; the gourmet coffee was excellent and plentiful. In addition, the waitresses were very attentive. I highly recommend it.

20/08/2026: Friendly staff, excellent value for money, convenient options for those with allergies, generous and well-presented daily menu (even if it's the basic option), generous and affordable appetizer platters, brasserie-style bar with TV and pleasant background music

08/09/2026: Very nice restaurant, the dishes are delicious, I had my steak catch horse.

02/09/2026: Exceptional staff and excellent cuisine, I highly recommend this restaurant.

26/08/2026: Great restaurant! The tagliolinis à l'encre de seiche were excellent. The service was friendly, and I had a great time. I highly recommend it!

18/08/2026: Wow, what a wonderful lunch we had in early August 2026 at this restaurant that had been recommended to us! Excellent Italian-inspired cuisine, presented with care. Located a little at the end of the Quai Valin, we might not have stopped at this restaurant if it hadn't been recommended to us, because, as Sarah told us, there are plenty of options in La Rochelle. We would have truly missed out, and we will definitely return at the first opportunity. Surely one of the best restaurants in town. Just a small note: don't take the table on the terrace that's straddling a metal plate on the sidewalk; your plate will definitely jiggle every time a waiter passes by. A minor detail that didn't spoil our enjoyment!

28/08/2026: After calling to inquire about prices, the person on the phone was very unpleasant, didn't answer questions, and hung up without explanation. Very unprofessional.

13/08/2026: A tradition we wouldn't miss for the world ❤️🍕 Like every year, we're back at Pizz'Atlantic... and like every year, we leave with smiles, full bellies, and wonderful memories! 🥰 Yesterday was a particularly special evening: eclipse day, birthdays to celebrate with our whole group on Pontaillac beach. As always, we ordered and enjoyed delicious pizzas in a fantastic atmosphere. And what can we say about the owners... They always know how to make us feel so welcome! Adorable, warm, and attentive... we truly feel at home. ❤️ At Pizz'Atlantic, it's not just a pizza you come to eat; it's always a moment of sharing and conviviality! See you next year, of course! And this photo will also be part of our little album of memories of our visits to your place! Thank you for everything and see you very soon! Jessie and her whole team 😘

03/06/2026: Bravo to this wonderful team who delight us every week with varied and always delicious daily specials. Thank you for your warm welcome, your hard work, and your good cheer. 🫡
