25/09/2026: The Welcome… or rather, the restaurant with variable hours! 😏 A chalkboard announces opening on Wednesday: actually, no. Then it says Friday evening: actually, no again. Now it's Saturday evening… or another day???? So, a simple question: which day exactly are we supposed to come? Draw lots? Consult the stars? 😄 I suppose the season was good enough to allow for a few whims with the opening days. Even if September is a different month, you have to respect the vacationers!!! And above all, there aren't only vacationers in La Faute-sur-Mer! There are also locals, second-home owners, and regulars who frequent the place all year round and who would simply like to be able to rely on advertised hours… and, above all, respected ones. In short, it's a shame, because by constantly playing hide-and-seek with the opening days, we end up eating elsewhere. 😉

27/08/2026: Served very quickly, but the mussels were cold. Thankfully, they took away our plates! So we didn't try dessert. It got noisy very quickly.

13/07/2026: Great bakery, very friendly 👍 A big thank you to the owner who is wonderful

23/06/2026: One of the best croissants I've had (I do like them soft and squishy rather than crispy, so it's a matter of taste). The jambon emmental sandwich was great too, and I ate both of these after 9PM so they held up well.

01/03/2026: Booked last week, but the restaurant was closed when we arrived. It was a real hassle to find another one on Sunday. Thanks for ruining my birthday!

01/03/2026: A very warm welcome. Smiling and competent staff. We came for a family meal, and all the dishes were very good. The ribeye steak (for two) was delicious, and it was a very pleasant surprise to discover an original dish: crispy duck (shredded duck in a filo pastry), which was very delicate. Finally, the desserts were a hit: the surprising limoncello baba and the EXCEPTIONAL pistachio fondant. We will definitely be back. WE RETURNED in March 2026 after booking on the restaurant's website. What a nasty surprise to see it PERMANENTLY CLOSED!!!!! What a lack of respect for customers! Block your website, or at least block the booking button.

07/10/2026: Absolutely fantastic, a must-do!

04/10/2026: A pleasant and convivial moment

21/11/2025: Hello everyone reading my reviews. Excellent food, impeccable service, and a lovely setting near the Lay River and the port of L'Aiguillon. I highly recommend this place. The food is sure to whet your appetite, especially the fish dishes, or, for me, the eel with garlic and parsley – my favorite dish here. What more could you ask for? Enjoy your meal!

18/10/2025: Great restaurant. The seafood sauerkraut is excellent.

21/08/2026: Very disappointed by this experience. Slow and unfriendly service, disappointing food for the price, and a clearly inadequate organization. We expected much better. I wouldn't recommend this place.

20/08/2026: The image is more appealing than reality. The staff is clueless. My wife was sick the next day after eating mussels.

20/05/2026: Review of this hotel restaurant: We ate there while passing through. I'm being polite, but the meal gets a 0/20. Meat reheated in the microwave. Fries inedible, hard, black, microwaved. Fish cooked in the microwave and undercooked, barely defrosted. Even the toilets weren't clean. My advice: run far, far away. To answer your question, I'm a chef in a bistro-style restaurant, and I can tell you that your filet mignon was anything but low-temperature cooked. Low-temperature cooking results in flavorful meat that can be cut without a knife. Your filet was tough, dry, and inedible! No offense...

12/01/2026: We had an excellent meal, a lunch for two, right in the middle of the Christmas holidays. Very good value for money. Perfect welcome and service. We are not hotel guests. I recommend the restaurant.

29/05/2026: Very warm welcome, pleasant and very clean, close to the port

29/05/2026: OUTRAGEOUS!!! I've never stayed at this hotel and I certainly won't!! They accept dogs, but at €15 per dog per day! We wanted to book for 4 days with our two dogs; do the math, it's more expensive than the price of a room!!! This is a blatant refusal to allow dogs!!!

12/09/2026: Closed even though the website says open, plus when you arrive there's no sign 😔

11/08/2026: So disappointed, because I was the one who chose this restaurant for my birthday. Luckily, the young waitress was there to salvage things. I'd already asked my daughter to take off her flip-flops, which I'd left on my feet, when I got a very curt remark from the owner, who must have been in a terrible mood that evening. Or maybe she's always like that, because we were dining right behind the reception area, and we were treated to a barrage of complaints and comments about the young waitress, all of it very loudly so everyone could hear... It completely ruined my appetite, especially since we had the speaker right above our heads, and to top it off, a Calogero CD was blasting on repeat. The whole shebang, basically. So much for an oriental atmosphere... I almost thought my partner was joking! I gave one star for the dish, which I found quite good, and to top it all off, my tagine with a single prune, apricots, and lamb as tough as a rock—I've eaten more than one tagine in my life, and I think they'll have to explain again how it's cooked. Normally, it's cooked directly in the earthenware dish... I'll spare you the details because I think I could write a book about this establishment, which might appeal to some, but for my part, I'll never set foot in there again, that's for sure! The worst part is the owner, who was incredibly unfriendly. I didn't even stay; I left immediately because I think I would have told her to get lost, to put it politely... Avoid at all costs!

10/09/2026: Extremely nice service and high quality food - absolutely recommend 🙂

01/09/2026: The Swiss pistachio bread is definitely artificial; when I asked her about it, she got angry with me and told me to go where there's quality. Oh well.

06/07/2026: My partner and I stayed at this hotel for two nights during the Half Ironman. We received a very warm welcome from Richard and his family. We highly recommend this hotel and restaurant. We ate very well, with a special mention for the Port-side Burger, which is excellent! The rooms are very nice, especially considering the short time we were there. Admittedly, it's a bit noisy on weekends, but earplugs are provided at reception and they did the trick perfectly. The location is ideal: just a three-minute walk from the beach, with a view of the harbor. The entire team is incredibly attentive and always available to help. We can't wait to come back! Thank you to the whole team!

28/06/2026: We had a wonderful 7-night stay at the Hôtel du Port and were delighted. The welcome was warm from the moment we arrived; the entire team was friendly, helpful, and very professional. The room was comfortable, clean, and pleasant, and the hotel's location is ideal for exploring Les Sables-d'Olonne on foot. A big thank you to the whole team for this lovely week. We will gladly return and highly recommend this hotel!

10/09/2026: Nice little restaurant, tender meat with homemade fries, very good value for money. Thank you for the great meal.

05/09/2026: Tender and delicious beef skewer

18/06/2026: Disappointed. Two tables were taken on the terrace, six customers in total. We still had to go to the bar to order. There were four of us. I was the one who had to keep running back and forth. I had to ask for drinks... Not a smile. In short, two years ago it was a staff shortage, and today it must be the same thing. I don't understand this business sense.

10/06/2026: Unpleasant, very rude, and they call themselves a parcel delivery service, they kick you out because they're busy, tell you to come back tomorrow. It's not a place to go.

27/03/2026: I think the service was bad because of my features. The coffee was awful.

15/09/2026: Very good hamburger and friendly staff

15/09/2026: A lovely lunch break. The staff were very friendly, kind, and generous 🙏🏼 We highly recommend this stop!
