Les meilleurs restaurants en Saint-Gilles-Croix-De-Vie

22/09/2026: Personally, I had mussels, they were so good!

05/09/2026: It's unacceptable to put mussels in that have been in the fridge for a few days. The smell is awful. Avoid them!

21/09/2026: Original and very good prepared dishes.

19/09/2026: Passing through Saint-Gilles during our week's holiday, we naturally headed to this magnificent restaurant overlooking the port. We received a very warm welcome from the waitress (with a short haircut), and the staff were very attentive throughout our meal, even with my toddlers despite their cacophony. The manager (I presume, with a short bob), who is described as unpleasant in the comments below, was quite the opposite with us that day (Tuesday, September 15, 2026); perhaps we were just lucky? 😉😂 In any case, we had a perfect experience. The portions were very generous, and the tiramisu was a real treat. If I had to mention one negative point, I would say the price.

25/07/2026: Excellent chocolate, a treat for the taste buds.

17/07/2026: A truly delicious apple and apricot tart. Well done on the presentation and the taste of this tart. My only regret… not having ordered a second tart.

02/10/2026: The buffet was mediocre and rarely replenished. There's a lot of work to be done to reach the level of other restaurants of this type. Not recommended!

30/09/2026: We ate very well, the staff were very pleasant, we will be back.

14/09/2026: Generous and delicious dishes and desserts. Friendly and efficient staff. Good value for money. The origin of the products is displayed on chalkboards and clearly visible (it's high quality). I would recommend this restaurant, which welcomed us even though we arrived without a reservation at a late hour (9:20 PM), when other nearby restaurants had stopped serving at that time. This was because it was no longer peak season. +++

14/09/2026: I called to reserve a table with a view of the beach at midday. It started off well enough. There was little smile or joy in the rather cold service. I ordered a Perrier with lemon and mint and ice cubes, and I received two glasses with three lemon slices each and another with mint syrup – I'd never seen that before. No ice cubes. I ordered a four-cheese pizza with bacon, and it was a huge disappointment in terms of taste, from the crust to the toppings – very processed. Unfortunately, I left not impressed with my experience. The bill came to €21.10.

06/09/2026: Excellent meal. Delicious home-style cooking with simple yet well-thought-out recipes. We'll be back.

22/08/2026: Excellent jazz bar in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie. Rich and varied program in a great atmosphere and very good food.

07/09/2026: We received a very warm welcome. It's a shame one of the waitresses wasn't very friendly. This comment was made at several tables.

07/09/2026: Extremely noisy in the dining room, and the staff made no effort to lower the volume (broken glasses, trays thrown on the floor, loud music). The food was uninteresting, the pizza was very greasy, and the dough was clearly mass-produced. For the price, it was a very mixed experience, and it will definitely be our last time. Furthermore, we were sick three hours after our meal (severe vomiting).

19/08/2026: If you're looking for a cheerful atmosphere, you won't find it here... Rochebonne isn't what it used to be, the new owner is incredibly unpleasant!! Shameful!

18/08/2026: Avoid at all costs. The bar has changed a lot, which is a shame. The owner's comments and gestures are inappropriate (perverted).

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.

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!!!

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