Les meilleurs restaurants en La Rochelle

07/07/2025: Padthai wasn’t a pad thai it was more like fried noodles. Ordered Ramen but received other item. It was same as Fried noodles just noodles design was changed. Dont expect as you seen in the picture 🤣 But owner is nice also service person. Eat with your own risk.

04/07/2025: Really not great, but you can do worse so 2*.

31/01/2026: As the son of a restaurant owner, I know one thing: mistakes happen, but incompetence in management doesn't. The ribeye steak was tough, dry, simply inedible, unworthy of being served. The side dish was a caricature: a few potatoes lost on the plate, a visibly wilted salad, and pointless croutons attempting to mask the emptiness. When we pointed out the problem, the waitress dismissed us without apology, without listening, without the slightest consideration. The only solution offered was another dish… which, of course, would be charged. What's most shocking isn't the bad food—that happens—but the utter contempt for the customer and the complete lack of professionalism. This isn't a restaurant, it's a place where the service is poor, the responses are poor, and the poor service is blatantly accepted.

31/01/2026: For everyone else: run away. The ribeye steak was inedible, as tough as a shoe sole. You'd wonder if the meat had ever even seen a pan. The side dish was pathetic: five scrawny potatoes, three rotten lettuce leaves, and croutons that were utterly pointless, probably just there to make it look good. After pointing out the problem, the waitress brushed us off and disappeared. No apology, no attempt to reflect on her actions. Her only suggestion: order another dish, which, of course, would be charged. This place combines contempt for the customer, substandard food, and a complete lack of professionalism. A perfect spot for those who enjoy paying a fortune, eating poorly, and being treated with disdain.

27/01/2026: I bought baguettes today, January 27, 2026. There were no protective sheets to prevent getting flour on my hands, not to mention the hygiene issues... I certainly won't be back and I absolutely do not recommend them!!

21/11/2025: Great cakes. The best baguettes in La Rochelle. Croissants are okay. Very good sandwiches.

23/12/2025: What a wonderful surprise! We stumbled upon Baron Moleskine by chance; the atmosphere looked so lively from the outside. And inside, it was even better! A cozy place with a quirky vibe. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back. The waitress and waiter were incredibly attentive and welcoming. It's become a must-visit. Thank you so much, and see you soon!

13/11/2025: A really nice place. The food is excellent and the welcome and service are top-notch!

17/01/2026: We were so lucky to get a table without a reservation! Everything was perfect, from the excellent food and the very friendly waiter to the thoughtful touches the owners gave the children. We'd love to go back and enjoy the sea view when it's not foggy!

17/01/2026: Warm welcome and good food, very professional service

12/12/2025: Simple cuisine but with abundant exotic flavors, I recommend it.

10/12/2025: A really good little Indian restaurant, with rich and delicious cuisine, very reasonable prices, and authentic decor that truly makes you feel like you're in India. Not for those who prefer sterile, hipster-style interiors, but perfect for those who simply want a good meal. P.S.: Our 10-year-old loved it too.

10/10/2025: Closed. No specific information.

16/09/2025: Watch out, this is a major tourist trap!! The welcome was more than mediocre, I'd even say unthinkable... 3 burgers + 2 pints for €75, uh, that's no longer a profit at this point?!?!!! For burgers you've seen and reviewed and frozen fries. Of course, you have to serve yourself and clear away at that price; service isn't included.

12/11/2024: Devoir payer en supplément le pain et le beurre....un peu too much... Sinon les sardines étaient excellentes. Les huîtres délicieuses. Le verre de bordeau blanc très bien servi. Au soleil sur la terrasse. Et après manger il y a un lavabo avec savon...on peut manger ses sardinesxavec les doigts.

01/11/2024: Restauration sur un bateau avec terrasse au bord du port de La Rochelle,près des tours. Huîtres très charnues,excellentes plus salées que chez nous (44)couteaux et poulpes à la plancha: un régal un bon moment pour nous et un concept sympa ! Prix corrects

20/01/2026: The welcome was pleasant, but when it came time to pay, he complained because he couldn't get a receipt and didn't like to print it.

16/01/2026: One of the oldest pizzerias in the city center... Average service, very average pizzas, relatively expensive wines. For the same price, you can find better elsewhere.

07/12/2025: The pastries don't live up to D'Jolli's reputation. They're classic pastries you can find at any good pastry shop. Disappointing. Be aware that prices aren't displayed on many items.

02/11/2025: I ate Mon Blanc and it was nice, if sweet. I asked for Earl Grey but the tea didn’t taste like it. The tea room was elegant and beautiful.

24/09/2024: Excellent, even for a group thanks to the upstairs room.

23/09/2024: It's such a shame! I've wanted to try this restaurant for a long time. The dishes are good, and correspond to the promise (a modern blend of local and seasonal produce). But the service and timing is catastrophic. We had reserved for 8 p.m., at 9 p.m. I kindly pointed out to the waiter that we had had 2 appetizers (out of the 3 announced) and still no main course. 9:15 p.m., the first course arrives (there are 7 on the menu...), but the third appetizer has been forgotten. Of course, it was brought back to us afterwards, it would have been a shame to miss it because it was delicious (oyster and crispy pig's ear with green leek oil). The glasses of wine pairing with food and wine are served after the dish they are supposed to enhance (well after... when the plate is empty). The last course was served at 11:45 p.m.... 30 minutes between 2 courses is acceptable in a brasserie between the starter and the main course for example, but not in a gourmet restaurant, not at this price. The servers seemed a little overwhelmed, but it was quite "quiet" in the kitchen (this is the disadvantage of having an open kitchen, the customers see everything). I understand that there may be a shortage of staff, but you should warn customers, and accommodate if possible. In short, I wouldn't come back but that's a shame.

16/09/2024: Nice place for a dinner with a view of the port. The service is impeccable, the staff are smiling (even in the middle of August with a crowded restaurant) and we had a great time. The dishes are prepared with fresh, quality ingredients. Don't forget the aperitif cocktail which adds something positive to the experience.

15/09/2024: Super nice! Top ceviche, very beautiful and very good foil mold!!! Only one small problem: no Saumur on the menu 😉

25/05/2025: Yours are truly excellent. Thanks for Di's smile too. See you soon.

08/05/2025: Best sushi in La Rochelle by far, far away!!!

29/11/2025: An incredible place, simple yet refined, a neighborhood bistro and an avant-garde establishment! A genuine and pleasant welcome, fresh and delicious cuisine, a blend of traditional recipes and a modern approach, original organic wines – in short, an address where you can spend an excellent moment relaxing and sharing!

28/10/2025: A very disappointing experience on a human level. I'm not questioning the quality of the coffee, but the attitude of the staff, particularly one woman present, was simply unacceptable. She started raising her voice and speaking very rudely because my dog ​​had simply sniffed a flowerpot on the terrace—without barking, making a mess, or disturbing anyone in any way. What's most incomprehensible is that there were no other customers present at the time. Nothing justified such a reaction. A simple word spoken calmly, with a modicum of politeness, would have been more than enough: we would have understood without any problem. Instead, the woman flew into a rage, forgetting all forms of respect and courtesy. It's a shame, because a business is also judged on the quality of its service and the human touch it demonstrates.
