Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Saint-Gilles-Croix-De-Vie

13/09/2026: Very warm welcome. Friendly staff, especially Elodie for her excellent customer service. People from Hendaye in the Charente region.

12/09/2026: We had a wonderful evening and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Thank you to Emilie for her advice on the dishes (sauerkraut and tuna tataki) and for her warm and professional welcome. Thank you also to Emilie for the souvenir photos.

13/09/2026: We ordered the seafood sauerkraut and the sailor's platter and we thoroughly enjoyed it; the dishes were generous.

12/09/2026: We had a wonderful time at this restaurant. The welcome was very friendly, and we thoroughly enjoyed the seafood sauerkraut and the seafood platter. A truly excellent restaurant in St Gilles.

13/09/2026: The homemade foie gras as a starter was truly excellent!

05/09/2026: Fantastic food and lovely staff! Be sure to reserve in advance because they are always full.

18/09/2026: We were so looking forward to discovering this place! What a disappointment! The appetizer platter included undersized and overcooked smelts, tiny and equally overcooked sardines, a rather bland seafood sauerkraut, and potatoes that tasted like reheated food... The "gourmet coffee" was anything but gourmet, the chocolate mousse and crème brûlée were far too sweet, and the apple wedges were cooked with a generic caramel topping! Avoid this place if you want a decent lunch and good fish. The decor and service were pleasant.

16/09/2026: Great Food good variety great freshness and excellent service Highly recommended 👌👏

16/05/2026: Friendly waitresses, good mussels and fries. Quick service, good place to eat.

15/05/2026: I'm giving it 3 stars because, being in the restaurant business myself, I can understand that service can be complicated, and otherwise, nothing to say about the food, it was very good, the buckwheat galette burger 👌, but a little more about the service time, a little less than an hour to serve 5 covers, I found that quite long...

13/09/2026: What a pleasant surprise! We booked online and were offered a lovely idea: an aperitif with an amuse-bouche on the terrace, followed by a €33 set menu that exceeded all our expectations. The quality of the ingredients and the cooking were perfect (the pork pluma was exquisite), and to finish, we enjoyed a gourmet coffee with delicious treats. The service was impeccable, and the bill was more than reasonable. 👍

08/09/2026: Several experiences in the restaurant, well-executed and refined cuisine with very good value for money, sir.

27/08/2026: The managers were very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious.

27/08/2026: “An excellent experience at La Cotriade. The setting is understated and elegant, conducive to a serene dining experience. The service is attentive and friendly, responsive without being intrusive. For starters, a beautifully delicate foie gras, perfectly seasoned. For the main course, a high-quality veal chop, cooked to perfection and, most importantly, served piping hot on a warm plate—a detail that makes all the difference. The revisited strawberry tartlet for dessert offers a successful balance between freshness and indulgence. The pairing with a 2024 Mâcon Uchizy perfectly complemented the entire meal. The cuisine is exceptionally well executed, using top-quality ingredients and meticulous preparation. Special mention goes to the temperature control, too often neglected elsewhere. A restaurant I highly recommend for lovers of refined and authentic cuisine.”

20/09/2026: A real canteen, but not a restaurant. The daily special was a disaster. Frozen fries. Roast pork: two meager slices with no sauce. They need to change the chef. Avoid at all costs.

20/09/2026: Very disappointed. The salad was a small, canteen-style salad with no originality. The daily special was another canteen-style meal. The fries were frozen. Two small slices of braised ham were sold as roast pork. No effort was made to present the meal. Avoid.

28/09/2026: A wonderful discovery. Thank you for the warm welcome and kindness, especially considering my husband's disability. The seafood sauerkraut and Vendée salad were very good. Just a little too much crouton and salad. There was no salmon in the sauerkraut; I assume it was replaced with haddock or another fish.

21/09/2026: Excellent products and fast service.

07/09/2026: I went there on a Saturday evening and everything was perfect, from the cashier to the preparation of the desserts (generous profiteroles) and the very friendly cooks (the mussels and fries were very well prepared). Thank you to the whole team. I promised a good review, and here it is!

03/09/2026: We've been coming here for 10 years and the products are always just as good and fresh.
