Les meilleurs restaurants en La Rochelle

13/05/2026: Top-notch with long opening hours, open 7 days a week.

19/04/2026: Excellent service at the tobacconist's on the mall, always very welcoming and cheerful, especially the young man who is very helpful and accommodating. Top-notch, don't change a thing.

23/04/2026: Inconvenient: you book online and arrive only to find out the establishment is closed due to financial difficulties! And this isn't mentioned anywhere! 😡 We didn't even get in before we knew we wouldn't be back!

28/03/2026: On March 3, 2026, I had a chaotic experience at La Côte Rôtie: dishes I hadn't ordered were served without apology (meat instead of sardines, chicken instead of beef), a wait of over an hour, and reconstituted potatoes swimming in butter. No correction, no gesture of goodwill, no apology. The manager even had the nerve to ask if everything was alright… A shame, because an experience I had 10 years ago had led me to expect much better.

08/05/2026: Warm welcome. Beautiful view. It's a shame the windows couldn't be fully opened. Breakfast was very good.

03/05/2026: We had an unforgettable stay! The room was very comfortable, the welcome was very friendly, we loved it!!!!!

08/11/2025: Excellent bakery and pastry shop. Thank you for your quality.

06/11/2025: Lovely little shop, well-maintained and tidy. Good selection of pastries and cakes. Very welcoming, friendly and smiling staff, I recommend it.

24/02/2026: Great team, and excellent pizzas...

17/02/2026: The olives don't taste like olives. They're Spanish olives or something, so I'm putting them aside. But otherwise, a very good pizza!

20/05/2026: The meat and fish were undercooked, with no suggested side dishes for the vegetables and no mention of them on the menu. I'm not sure the products were fresh! The establishment wasn't clean. Expensive for what we ate. Disappointed.

19/04/2026: A very bad experience. From the start, I received inappropriate comments on my phone twice (because I was on my phone while waiting for my food). The service was extremely slow: over 15 minutes of waiting just to get ketchup, despite asking two different servers and repeating the request several times. You clearly get the impression you're bothering them as soon as you ask for anything, and on top of that, you get unpleasant reactions (sighs, etc.). The fries were frozen, which is disappointing, and the cheese on the burger was barely melted. Organization-wise, nothing works: the server came back three times to ask for desserts because he'd forgotten them, and the birthday candle was placed on the wrong dessert. Finally, the facilities leave much to be desired: windows that are stuck and won't open, a toilet door that won't close, and you can't even hear yourself speak because of the noise. Overall, the service and quality were far below expectations.

30/05/2026: I ordered pizzas for delivery; the crust was greasy and tasteless, the toppings were sparse and far too salty. Avoid at all costs.

14/05/2026: We had a wonderful time at this restaurant. The pizzas were delicious. The welcome was perfect from beginning to end, and the service impeccable. A special mention goes to the lady who greeted us: lovely, smiling, and very attentive. The place is magnificent, very chic with an elegant and warm decor that immediately makes you want to sit down and relax. In short, a truly wonderful place that I recommend without hesitation; everything was perfect!

14/05/2026: Tea and pastries are excellent!

09/05/2026: I bought some Tarte Tropézienne. And then I thought to myself that the pastry chef at D'Jolly must have left, taking the recipe book with him. So much for its lightness and delicious taste. What a shame!

30/05/2026: So disappointed once again. We're regulars at this restaurant; it's the closest to our home and work. The last three times we ordered, something was missing or it was completely cold… Last night we picked up our order since delivery arrives cold… once again, almost a €60 order, 2280 rösti but no rösti, one missing potato, and no sauce… Last time I called, but no compensation was offered for the inconvenience. €60 is a lot of money, after all… Very, very disappointed. We love McDonald's, but nothing ever goes right!

29/05/2026: McDonald's is quite nice overall, with a rather pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, the hygiene is really lacking; the tables are often dirty, which somewhat spoils the experience. The floor in the restaurant area is sticky, but the state of the restrooms is unacceptable. It's a McDonald's, so you shouldn't expect too much. But even so, I at least expected a clean table without any hairs and faster service than a 20-minute wait. It's regrettable that a global brand like McDonald's operates with such an unprofessional staff.

10/05/2026: Friendly as always. Top-notch staff.

07/05/2026: Nice little restaurant, very good service and very good food, inexpensive: starter, main course and dessert for €17.50

09/05/2026: Very good food served by lovely people.

07/05/2026: Great! The vegetarian ramen was good.

03/10/2025: We went to the door after seeing the good reviews on Google. Once there, at 7 p.m., we waited more than 30 minutes: still closed. The hours are not indicated on Google or on the door (just "open lunch and dinner" without any details). We also called, without answer. Passing through La Rochelle, we were disappointed not to have been able to try it.

02/09/2025: The fish and chips were really good, we thoroughly enjoyed them, thank you.

28/03/2026: Disappointed with our experience! The fish dish was served lukewarm, and the glass of wine arrived after our meal despite our repeated requests. As for the coffee, I had to go and get it myself from the counter after waiting for over 10 minutes, even though it had been ready for some time. Meanwhile, the waitresses didn't seem to be in any hurry to serve it. It's a real shame, because the ingredients were of good quality.

26/03/2026: Breathtaking views of the port and the city. Excellent service and a warm welcome. Unbeatable value for money. Refined and delicious cuisine. A wonderful discovery that we return to very regularly.

30/05/2026: This bakery has excellent bread and pastries. They also offer delicious cakes and breakfast options to eat in. The staff could be more pleasant.

09/05/2026: Yesterday we went to this bakery for sandwiches. They were excellent, and for dessert, we were recommended, and I quote, "the best flan in La Rochelle." Okay, we tried it... and we can confirm. You simply feel like you're eating the custard straight from the pan. It's melt-in-your-mouth, the crust is thin, exceptional. Thanks to the owner for the recommendation! 👌

02/05/2026: A pint of Guinness was a staggering 9€, more than París or London. Probably the most expensive Guinness in Europe, I dont know how they can possibly justify that. A pity, because apart from the extortionate prices, it is a lovely bar

19/04/2026: Great time in La Rochelle! The manager and his team are fantastic! Great atmosphere
