Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Charente-Maritime

05/09/2026: After ordering our drinks, we waited over 30 minutes before finally leaving, as our order still hadn't arrived. Such a long wait for simple drinks is truly unacceptable. The organization and service clearly need to be reviewed!

05/09/2026: It took at least 30 minutes to be served, and that's considering there weren't many people there.

10/09/2026: Excellent value for money. Very friendly and accommodating waiters. Beachfront terrace with ocean views. Perfect for an evening with friends or a date.

10/09/2026: A fantastic setting under thatched huts right on the beach. A very attractive menu, especially the €20 set menu. Superb staff. Fast and professional service. Thank you.

26/08/2026: Questionable starter... Fresh vegetables???? Homemade fries were brown, some black: they weren't cooked properly! A shame, because the staff and owner were very friendly!

06/08/2026: We stumbled upon this bar during our vacation, while strolling through the beautiful town of Saint Savinien, and enjoyed spending several evenings there. We were always warmly welcomed. What I particularly liked was the convivial atmosphere; the people are friendly, and you're politely included as a guest. I highly recommend it! We'll definitely be back 😊

26/08/2026: Disappointed by the overall wait and the poorly served food... The staff were unprofessional and unhelpful. I ordered the Nutella Supreme ice cream, but it was served with leftover red berries inside my cup. I was outraged and asked for compensation, which was refused outright and in full. I do not recommend it.

26/08/2026: Very expensive. Fast but unpleasant service.

27/08/2026: Friendly welcome, the waitress enjoys chatting... The goat cheese salad is excellent and very generous. The mussels marinière are divine, the best in Saint Palais. Good value for money. Thank you.

20/08/2026: We had a great meal; the hamburgers were delicious and came with a generous portion of fries, all at a very reasonable price. The bald owner was very kind and friendly, and the servers were nice too. And to top it all off, we all got lollipops! 😂

16/04/2026: The worst student cafeteria in France, and I mean it. We haven't had anything to eat for a week, the portions are disastrous, and we're still paying the same price! They really think we're animals!

19/02/2026: It's okay, the portions are reasonable, but it leaves you wanting more. The staff is friendly.

05/09/2026: A pleasant meal, simple and affordable cuisine. Always a warm welcome with attentiveness and kindness, whatever the season. 👍

04/09/2026: Great atmosphere, delicious food and cocktails. Magnificent view.

30/10/2025: Long wait No more fish, seafood, salad, or even bread Order not followed No more bread I really do not recommend this place

12/10/2025: No interest. Slow service. Mediocre food.

25/07/2026: July 2026: The establishment is closed. Let's hope a restaurant professional takes it over and restores its former glory... ---------------------------------------------- A small addition to my 2021 review below: my wife didn't tolerate the meal well (food poisoning or indigestion?). Please pay attention to the freshness of the food...and the cleanliness of the premises. Still hoping that our 2021 experience is now just a bad memory. ---------- In 2018 and 2019, we had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant several times. It was delicious, and the menu offered a wide selection. Unfortunately, the change of ownership has likely also brought a change of chefs: the gourmet menu has been replaced by a small laminated card, the choice of appetizers, main courses, and desserts is very limited, and the presentation of the dishes is minimalist and similar to what is served in large fast-food chains. Everyone (except me, stoic as ever) had finished their appetizers when the bottles of wine and water were finally served (after numerous requests). All is not lost: I understand that the current pandemic has severely impacted the restaurant industry. There is still hope that L'Ecailler will regain the vibrancy we once enjoyed. I hope we will have the opportunity to dine there again someday... but we will wait for glowing reviews before doing so. For now, we are nowhere near that point.

24/07/2026: A warm welcome, though the price-quality ratio might be a little high. The setting is pleasant, and the view of the harbor is fitting, as one would expect on Île d'Oléron. The quality of the food served is good, and the seafood platter we ordered was exceptionally well-prepared. The service was attentive and professional.

04/09/2026: The price is a rip-off and it's dangerous to go out. You always have to head towards the roundabout.

28/06/2026: One year later, the same observation. A real tourist trap! Gasoline 6 cents more expensive than on the island? For the champion of the cheapest, find the flaw in that logic.

03/07/2026: An excellent place! The kebabs are truly delicious and the quality is always top-notch. The only slight drawback is that the portion size can sometimes be a little small depending on the day, but the exceptional taste more than makes up for it. I highly recommend it!

10/06/2026: The gentleman was very kind, we ate very well. The fries and kebab were very good.

20/03/2026: Now run by a super friendly and dynamic young couple, the decor and atmosphere have been tastefully redone. Great welcome, and fantastic pizzas—crispy on one side and soft on the other. Generously topped with quality ingredients, I highly recommend it! 👍👍 Thank you so much!

21/12/2025: Well, finding an open restaurant on Sunday, December 21st, in the south of Île d'Oléron, seems like a near-impossible feat. The café on the square is open, the welcome is warm, and the service is impeccable. A simple and pleasant moment. A hamburger and fries, a glass of Bordeaux, a coffee, and that's all it takes.

05/09/2026: Dirty tables and benches. Long wait (25 minutes). Overflowing bins... no toilet paper. Disappointed. However, the meal served was decent and hot.

29/08/2026: My wife has been vegan for 15 years. She ordered a box of veggie nuggets, and to our dismay, they were chicken. It's a disgrace! It's your responsibility to check this kind of unacceptable thing.

29/05/2026: Hello, We arrived with the classic car club (50 people) on Pentecost Sunday at lunchtime. We were warmly welcomed by friendly and efficient staff who were very accommodating to customers' schedules. 👍 The meal was decent for the price. The decor had a slightly nostalgic feel, taking us back to bygone years.

06/05/2026: We ordered duck breast and got 5 slices with blue cheese sauce, presented like soup. Nothing special, really.

01/09/2026: Two glasses of white wine from Île de Ré... 18 euros! The Americans are coming to the island now. Go to the other side, it's much cheaper.

29/08/2026: A great time to end the season, the 4 cheese pizza was excellent, as was the chicken salad.
