Seafood restaurant

Restaurant

Quai 17, a seafood restaurant located in Saint-Denis-d'Oleron, offers an exceptional dining experience. With its splendid location at the Port De Plaisance, it provides breathtaking views. The establishment is renowned for its wide selection of deliciously prepared seafood dishes, particularly their fresh and flavorsome mussels cooked in various sauces. The warm and friendly hospitality adds to the overall enjoyable atmosphere.

On the way to the "Phare de Chassiron" we crossed this beautiful island. If feels like another world compared to the mainland. We felt like some mussels and found this restaurant with great feedback. Since the town was on the way anyways we pulled over here for lunch. Even during Covid-19 the place was fully booked and there was a waiting line. Luckily it did move fast and we got a table on the porch after only about 15minutes. Our Bulldog was welcome as well. Staff here works hard, serving the numerous customers. But they are friendly, helpful and quite fast. Ordered some white wine, mussels in creamy sauce, 6x oysters and a seafood chowder. And it was seafood heaven! All the ingredients so fresh, you could taste the sea. Best mussels we've ever had? YES! No other place did beat the flavour and the freshness of this restaurant. The Oysters were great as well, very creamy and fresh. Nice size too. Only once in France we've had better ones. The chowder was packed with fish and seafood. Wonderful. On the side for both meals: fries. Hot, big, crispy, salty. Excatly as fries should be. Wonderful. Prices here are very fair, costs no more than other restaurants, but is definitely one of the best meals we've had in France. A great great place for fish and seafood. Worth the drive, worth the wait.

We loved it. Arrive early, by 1215 it was full for lunch. Good seafood. A lively patron will greet you. Quality seafood, my oysters were super fresh and well prepared. 70 euro for good lunch for 2 with half Bottle of local wine.

Lekker eten. De bediening was correct maar men gaf een gejaagde indruk. Dit is niet zo bevorderlijk om ontspannen te eten. (Translated by Google) Good food. The service was correct, but there was a hurried impression. This is not very conducive to relaxed eating.

(Translated by Google) On vacation with 6 in the region we were looking for a place to eat specialties. We were not disappointed by the restaurant. A very nice atmosphere with attentive servers (with a small candle for a birthday). The meals arrived very hot, the cuttlefish chowder is a very spicy and just succulent dish with still crunchy vegetables and new potatoes! The smoked salmon and fish makis and the shellfish plate were fantastic. (Original) En vacances à 6 dans la région nous cherchions un endroit où manger des spécialités. Nous n’avons pas été déçus par le restaurant. Une très belle ambiance avec des serveurs aux petits soins (avec petite bougie pour un anniversaire). Les repas sont arrivés très chaud, la chaudrée de seiche est un plat bien relevé et juste succulent avec des petits légumes encore croquants et de pommes de terre grenailles ! Le saumon fumé et les makis de poisson en passant par l’assiette de crustacés étaient fantastiques.

Oceane MAURER — Google review

(Translated by Google) Discovered by chance and we were not disappointed. The three dishes were all very very good, including the cuttlefish, the monkfish and the meat. The accompaniment was excellent with very well cooked vegetables, and the truffle mashed potatoes too. The balance was perfect. We really enjoyed our meal. The server is very pleasant despite the very busy activity of a Saturday lunchtime. (Original) Découvert par hasard et nous n'avons pas été déçus. Les trois plats étaient tous très très bons aussi bien la seiche que la lotte et la viande. L'accompagnement était excellent avec des légumes très bien cuisinés, et la purée de pomme de terre à la truffe aussi. L'équilibre était parfait. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre repas. Le serveur est très agréable malgré l'activité très dense d'un samedi midi.

(Translated by Google) NO VEGETARIAN DISH on the menu, so I was still offered a plate of vegetables and this consisted of a mixture of hot and cold accompaniments at the same time, the preparations were already prepared and were brought together on a plate …unfortunately not a vegetarian dish because there is no protein on this plate at €17. For the other meat and fish dishes apparently very disappointing for the price and what we were allowed to imagine during the service. A rather disappointing experience overall but with a beautiful view of the port. (Original) AUCUN PLAT VÉGÉTARIEN sur la carte, alors une assiette de légumes m’a quand même été proposée et celle ci était constituée d’un mélange d’accompagnements chauds et froids à la fois, les préparations étaient déjà préparées et ont été rassemblées dans une assiette… malheureusement pas un plat végétarien car aucune protéine dans cette assiette à 17€. Pour les autres plats de viande et poisson apparement très décevant pour le prix et ce qu’on nous a laissé imaginer pendant le service. Une expérience assez décevante dans l’ensemble mais avec une belle vue sur le port.

Guests can choose between simple filleted fish caught in the surrounding waters or opt for more exotic fare like creamy shrimp risotto.

Famed for fish, it's also has the best Vegetarian food ever. Imaginative, beautifully cooked combinations of delicious fresh local produce. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. It's very popular so necessary to book in advance.

I adored this establishment! The cuisine is incredibly delectable and the service is both amicable and prompt. I will undeniably revisit in the future. The staff is exceptionally delightful, the position of the eatery is excellent, and their menu offers an exceptional variety of dishes. Furthermore, the quality of food served was remarkable and the service provided was outstandingly satisfying.

Loved this place!! Very tasty food and friendly and efficient service . Will definitely return 🙌

Great location, stopped for a cappuccino and croissants...First the waiter had a crisis as we sat down in the sun on a table prepared for lunch in 2 hours time, and that meant moving a napkin and cloudy glass !! After he complained loudly, we were moved to the other side and eventually ordered ... Cappuccino was quite simply the worst one I have had in France, bitter black coffee with no hot milk just a bit of froth and clump of chocolate powder for 5 euros...Shame as lovely location on the port, but they haven't quite grasped the concept of customer service and how to make a cappuccino...Hopefully the owner will read this and make some improvements....Or they are just the typical tourist trap café 😒

Lovely restaurant near the lighrhouse with good views overlooking the sea. Owner very friendly and very careful about the products he purchases for his meals. He uses natural food and the result is delicious. We had fish and chips which we savoured with a local beer. This restaurant is a must when visiting the lighthouse at Chassiron.

Lovely view of the sea. We had ice creams and drinks on the terrace which we're lovely. I didn't think the prices we're too much compared to all the other touristy places on the island. We enjoyed our stay. Nice place to relax after all the steps up and down the lighthouse.

(Translated by Google) We enjoyed tasting a delicious seafood sauerkraut as well as the salted butter caramel tiramisu (very original and very hearty). Everything is homemade, well prepared…generous! We have adored! Thank you to the whole team who did not rush us to have our meal even though many customers were waiting for tables to become available for the second service. It was great! We will come back with pleasure. A good address in a magnificent setting that we recommend!

Nous reviendrons avec plaisir. Une bonne adresse dans un cadre magnifique que nous recommandons!
