Les meilleurs restaurants en Vendee

29/07/2026: The staff seem to be having a lot of fun, and the customers don't appear to be their priority. The owner seems more professional. What a shame.

28/07/2026: I'm never disappointed when I eat here. The appetizer buffet is varied, and you can easily see that the salads are well-prepared and homemade. The main courses are also well-prepared, often with original touches. The menu is very reasonably priced. I'm always surprised it's not more crowded when I go because the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend it! 😊 (I'm a truck driver; there's parking available by walking around the store.)

28/07/2026: I found a live spider in my sandwich, which disgusted me.

22/07/2026: I always receive a very warm welcome at this bakery, and this time again I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of service. Despite the late hour, the team took the time to prepare four pizzas for me even though they were sold out. I greatly appreciated this gesture. A big thank you to this young saleswoman for her kindness, professionalism, and excellent customer service. Her smile and dedication deserve to be highlighted. It's this kind of attention that makes you want to come back. Well done to the whole team!

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.

06/09/2026: Great venue and I met some really good dancers. A superb afternoon!

18/08/2026: My nephew celebrated his wedding at this venue in early August. Very disappointed 😞 The cocktail reception, initially planned for the main hall, actually took place outside, in full sun with just two small gazebos. We had to insist to get a few chairs. In the reception hall, we were supposed to have air conditioning—a lie! 😠 The service was appalling. Avoid this place at all costs!!

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.

04/09/2026: The ice cream was a huge disappointment. I'm quite skeptical of the claim that it's artisanal, as I didn't find the quality to live up to my expectations. Despite the wide variety of flavors offered, I found the tastes lacked character and the value for money was frankly disappointing. During my visit, I also witnessed a scene between employees that made me uncomfortable: an employee was reprimanded in a rather humiliating manner in front of the customers. I found it particularly unpleasant to see. In the end, a disappointing experience, both in terms of the products and the atmosphere I observed there. Personally, I don't recommend this place.

04/09/2026: Hello, this is my first time posting a Google review, but I felt compelled to denounce this toxic behavior. What I presume to be the owner of this ice cream shop behaved unacceptably towards one of his employees in front of other customers when I visited. He shouted obscenities at her, telling her she was doing a bad job, was useless, and should be ashamed, even though the service was impeccable. After speaking with one of the employees who served me (an employee who had clearly cried after this barrage of insults), she told me that this had become normal, that the owner enjoyed yelling at them for no reason and never questioned himself when he was wrong. Everything is always the fault of his employees (some of whom were just students on summer jobs). She also told me about employment contracts that weren't being respected, people continuing to work long after their contracts had ended, him refusing to grant weekends off even though employees were already working hard all week, and paychecks that took far too long to arrive. But the worst part is that the owner doesn't help the shop at all. He doesn't even take orders when customers are waiting and then blames his employees. Apparently, he's even incompetent at making crepes or waffles (which should be a basic skill...). Instead, he spends all day in front of the cameras watching his employees' every move, yelling at them, and belittling them. In short, the ice cream and waffles are excellent, but this behavior infuriates me.

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!

06/04/2026: Very warm, friendly and helpful welcome, clean, children's play area completely renovated as well as the pétanque court and the maintenance of the swimming pools, restaurant and bar all renovated as well.

22/03/2026: This is not a campsite; motorhomes are prohibited.

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.

12/10/2026: One of the best restaurants in Saint Jean

11/10/2026: Very beautiful place with extremly good food thank you to the chef 👩‍🍳

23/10/2026: I went to get a coffee and two croissants at 8 a.m. No one was at the cash register. I waited and asked to be served. A saleswoman yelled at me that she was working and that she was the only one serving. What kind of business is this? Are there no employees to serve customers? It's already very expensive, and on top of that, you're practically being told to get lost. I hope a new business is approved by the authorities soon. A Lidl, for example. That would be interesting competition, I think. I strongly advise against this bakery.

08/10/2026: Very good bakery. Very, very good products.

21/10/2026: Incredible, their flans are excellent! Very warm welcome! The lady was very smiley and managed to share her good cheer!

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

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!!!

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!

07/09/2026: Nearly €20 for two draft beers, €7 for a crêpe... We weren't lucky enough to get a menu, and the prices weren't prominently displayed (which seems like the bare minimum). We felt like we were bothering them, and the bill was exorbitant for just a few drinks and some ice cream. A Parisian terrace with a much better atmosphere and service will cost you significantly less for two draft beers (€19!!). Arçay isn't far now; go there if you don't want to feel ripped off...

26/08/2026: We stopped by for a drink and were met with an unpleasant waitress and dirty tables. Two days later, friends invited us to dinner at the same restaurant, and it only confirmed our opinion: mediocre food, a salad that was barely a meal (shameful!), and the bill was ridiculously high. You'd need a very advanced education to understand it. The only positive point was the waiter, who was very kind. In short, avoid this place.
