We had a wonderful time at La Cabane! The reception was warm and friendly, with a delightful smile. The dishes were exquisite, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The sea bass fillet was cooked to perfection, while the tuna tartare was simply sublime. The pricing offered excellent value for money. The service provided was pleasant and kind. It's a place that should be discovered without delay due to its fantastic offerings and delightful atmosphere.
Un vrai plaisir en bouche. Merci au cuisto. Mon mari s'est régalé avec ses moules au roquefort, et moi avec mon bars filet. Les serveurs et le patron très sympathiques. Prix plus que raisonnable, au pied du phare. Je recommande vraiment !

It could be deceiving as it might come across a little touristic-ish but once on business, it delivers! Good oysters and mussels. They also serve a nice local IPA. The service is a little slow but they are nice a friendly

(Translated by Google) We ate in this restaurant for lunch it was delicious I really recommend you go there! The salmon gravlax as a starter and the semi-cooked tuna with sesame sauce was to die for!!! Finally, the gourmet coffee was delicious, everything is homemade with fresh products. Very pleasant, attentive and smiling staff! I will be going back next year while vacationing on the island. (Original) Nous avons été mangé dans ce restaurant ce midi c'était délicieux je vous conseil vraiment d'y allez ! Le gravelax de saumon en entrée et le mi cuit de thon sauce sesame était à tomber par terre !!! Pour finir le café gourmand était délicieux tout est fait maison avec des produits frais. Personnel très agréable, attentif et souriant ! J'y retournerai l'année prochaine pendant mes vacances sur l'île.

We've been here last year. And we were very happy with our experience. But this year was totally different. The potatoes felt like they were mixed from yesterdays batch and they were cold. The mussels were bland.. no taste. The eclade was still the best but it lost it's taste too (and the monsieur who was doing it) . The price quality is bad for now. The service is kind and smiley that's why i give 2 stars. I hope they improve.

Très décevant.. 100€ pour 4 personnes avec seulement une boisson chacun. Rien ne justifie ce prix alors que nos assiettes étaient assez vides pour certaines, notamment l'entrée avec le saumon "gravlax", le plat Poke Bawl ainsi que le tartare de thon (4 pommes grenailles coupées en deux, une cuillère étalée en décoration..) cette dernière pour 19€!! En revanche, le goût était là et les serveurs, malgré un gros service et des remarques cinglantes en cuisine, ont assurés tout en essayant de garder le sourire.

(Translated by Google) We ended our stay on the island at this cute little establishment. Warm and smiling welcome. The products are fresh and the presentation of the plates makes you want to eat! As a starter: Salmon gravlax, passion fruit sauce and dill whipped cream (a killer!) Monsieur had taken a plate of oysters and prawns Dish: Small disappointment I wanted a salmon poke ball but no longer did. The burger was very good! For Monsieur, it was a plate of mussels marinières (very hearty). Dessert: Fondant (or rather runny) chocolate. For Monsieur, a chocolate/coffee cake An address to remember and recommend with eyes closed! (Original) Nous avons terminé notre séjour sur l’île dans ce joli petit établissement. Accueil chaleureux et souriant. Les produits sont frais et la présentation des assiettes donne envie de manger ! En entrée : Gravlax de saumon, sauce fruit de la passion et crème fouettée à l’aneth (une tuerie !) Monsieur avait pris une assiette d’huîtres et de crevettes Plat : Petite déception je souhaitais un poke ball au saumon mais ne le faisait plus. Le burger était très bon ! Pour Monsieur c’était une assiette de moules marinières (très copieuse). Dessert : Fondant (ou plutôt coulant) au chocolat. Pour Monsieur, un gâteau chocolat/café Une adresse à retenir et à recommander les yeux fermés !

(Translated by Google) The cabin is located in a small setting surrounded by the sea with the lighthouse as its destination. The welcome is warm, professional, the value for money is correct compared to other establishments. Excellent seafood, semi-cooked tuna, wines, desserts, simply recommended ;) congratulations to the whole team as well as the chef, have a great day after work ;) (Original) La cabane est située dans un petit écrin entouré par la mer avec le phare comme destination.

(Translated by Google) Smiling staff. The children's menu is very good: vegetable nuggets (a change from fries) and chocolate fondant or scoop of ice cream. Daily menu at €21: squid, sea bream, vegetables and saffron rice, crème brûlée. Very good also Special mention for the semi-cooked tuna, recommended on site. It is delicious and generous in size. The prices are correct but be careful with the bill in case of influence because one or two errors can slip in. On our next visit to the island we will return with great pleasure! (Original) Personnel souriant. Le menu enfant est très bon : nuggets légumes (ça change des frites) et fondant chocolat ou boule de glace. Menu du jour à 21€ : encornets, daurade légumes et riz safrané, crème brûlée. Très bon également Mention spécial pour le mi cuit de thon, recommandé sur place. Il est délicieux et de taille généreuse. Les tarifs sont corrects mais attention à l’addition en cas d’influence car une ou deux erreurs peuvent s’y glisser. À notre prochain passage sur l’île nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir !

(Translated by Google) An ideal break after driving 25 km, enough to recharge the batteries. At the cabin, you have to take the time to savor. The terrace is sunny, the dishes are delicious! So enjoy 😁 Sorry for the photo of the gourmet coffee... But I couldn't resist 🤗. Very well stocked 😉😉😉 (Original) Une pause idéale après avoir roulé 25 kms, de quoi recharger les batteries.

(Translated by Google) Very good restaurant that doesn't look like much at first glance! We had a tuna tartare which was divine and my partner had a succulent seafood gratin. The children's menu is also really good with real breaded chicken fillet accompanied by new potatoes and small vegetables. The prices are very reasonable and the waiters/waitresses are very friendly! Things to do on the island! (Original) Très bon restaurant qui ne paye pas de mine au premier coup d'oeil! Nous avons pris un tartare de thon qui était divin et mon conjoint un gratin de la mer succulents.

Les prix sont très corrects et les serveurs/serveuses très amicales! A faire sur l'île !

On 03/08/2023, Le Patio was praised for its excellent reception and service. Customers were impressed by the pleasant atmosphere and affordable prices on the menu. Located near a lighthouse, this restaurant is perfect for families and large groups. It offers a wide selection of fresh seafood dishes that are simple yet delicious, making it a great value for money.
Excellent 3 course meal on set menu. The salted caramel pannacotta was amazing and we had a lovely waitress.

Friday night dinner and very few patrons. Only us! There was no menu, only a board showing a limited table d'hote choice. The food itself was pretty poor. A bavette that was so tough, dry oven chips and gritty lettuce. Overall a disappointing experience for €50+
Leigh Orwin — Google review
Wonderful restaurant in the area next to the lighthouse. The place is pleasant, it’s worth taking an oath with children, and a big company, and only together. Everything is comfortable, pleasant. Great menu. Good selection of wines and other beverages. Near convenient, well-organized parking. Free Nearby there are other cafes and restaurants, as well as many different souvenir shops and pavilions. And, of course, the purpose of the journey is the lighthouse, the coast, the breakwaters, the ocean, the seagulls and the great maritime history of France.

(Translated by Google) Good little restaurant with seafood dishes in particular. There were 4 of us, we had a blanquette of cuttlefish which was very good and the fresh cuttlefish, a sea bass (the dish of the day) which was good, and a mussel marinière and one with roquefort and we were a little disappointed, the mussels are small and the fries are frozen. The service was pleasant despite a server who did a lot (Original) Bon petit restaurant avec des plats de la mer notamment. Nous étions 4, nous avons pris une blanquette de seiche qui était très bonne et la seiche fraîche, un bar (le plat du jour) qui était bon, et une moule marinière et une au roquefort et nous avons été un peu déçus, les moules sont petites et les frites surgelés. Le service était agréable malgré un serveur qui en fait beaucoup

The overall experience at A L'OUEST restaurant was highly enjoyable. The cuisine was truly superb, offering a rich and flavorful taste. The fish had a remarkable char and the accompanying sauces were equally impressive. The portion sizes were just right, not excessively large. Although the prices may seem high, they are definitely justified by the exceptional quality of food served. The service provided by the staff was exceptionally polite and friendly.
Very pleasant experience overall! The food was really great, lots of depth, the char on the fish was amazing and the sauces were also great. The portions were normal size, not too large. Price seems expensive but is worth it for the quality of food. Service was also very polite and friendly.

Local restaurant and bar with cosy interior and large terrace. Friendly and efficient service and patient with our attempts to speak French throughout! There are a handful of sharing dishes including home smoked duck and salmon. I chose a tasty pot of lentil and chickpea daal with rice, Mark had duck parmentier with white bean mash. I'd say the food is simple but perfectly put together. At the time of our visit in late September, only open Wednesday and Sunday so do check in advance.

Most coffee in France is over-roasted and scalded in the machine but I think their coffee is better than most. It certainly comes out with a decent crema. Service is good once you get it but the priority at 11.15 seemed to be laying tables for lunch
Jeremy Hopwood — Google review
Having eaten here before (avant Covid) and had lovely food , we were disappointed. We gave 1 star for the service because everything for us was so slow. Other tables seemed to get better service. We would have had dessert and coffee but the waitress didn’t come even to clear our table. So we just asked for the bill. That was quite quick. Dommage!

Good value family run village restaurant in quiet, car-free location. Selection of dishes also good although limited as almost all dishes are served in glass pots. This suits certain dishes but not all. Pleasantly friendly and efficient service.

Following my mother's review, we were treated very badly. Bartender forcefully grabbed money out of my wallet because it seemed he was not able to wait 2 minutes for my cousin who was in the lavatory. Being shouted at and then kicked out is not the best way to deal with a totally innocent customer. An upsetting experience to say the least. Unfortunately cannot recommend this place whatsover due to the unfriendly staff, lack of professionalism and expensive prices. An official complaint will be carried out.

It's Juste fantastic! Simply put, seafood that'll satisfy your cravings. Being near the ocean always makes me crave some tasty seafood, and JUSTE delivered on it's promises of being a high-quality seafood bistro. The staff was super-friendly and very happy to give honest recommendations. We had tasty Ginger beer mocktails (which were perfect after our long bike ride), lobster 'n fries, a scrumptious cold seafood-spread, and some of the most delectable little seafood-mix in shells!

We had a wonderful experience with our seafood platter (fruits de mer)paired with Chablis 1er Cru. The place looks built for sea food!! Would love to go back and do it all over again. Great menu - something for everyone. The waiters and the manager there really care about what they do and you can really tell. We forgot our wallet and had to split the bill and pay via contactless (mobile phone) which they accommodated. There is a nice terrace and an outdoor bar. We booked which we'd recommend as the place gets filled up and a lot of people were turned away.

We were looking for fantastic moules frites, and that is exactly what we found. A delightful restaurant with dappled light and very friendly staff! A real deal, moules frittes + a beer/glass of wine for €15.90 each. The garlic cream sauce with the mussels was delicious. Will definitely visit again if I’m on the Ile de re ☺️

Visited Café du Phare with my girlfriend and our dog, making a quick stop before sunset. The waiter kindly informed us that we could take the food to go due to our time constraint. We decided to try their fried chicken, which was exceptional with a perfect rating of 10/10. However, the lobster roll did not meet expectations as it deviated from the traditional American version, resulting in an overpriced and unsatisfying choice.
Best fish ‘n’ chips ever (in English newspaper) sauce to die for 😋

The scenery and food is great but the overall experience a bit unpleasant. Service was so slow, obviously though the staff was numerous they felt disorganised. Had to wait 20´´ for the wine (after reminding 2 staff members), they mixed up other tables plates with ours multiple times. Btw, our fried sardines starter was pretty « light » for the price. Maybe this was summertime with brand new staff not trained to face the crowd yet, I wish it had been another way…

Had lunch at this place and ordered the menu for 14.50 euro. First dish was mussels and second white fish. Mussels was superb and very good taste, felt very fresh. The fish was ray type and was also good with mustard sauce. Composition was very good. Waitress was very friendly and nice. Highly recommended for lunch!

My gf, dog, and me stopped by before the sunset. We were kind of in a rush and the waiter noticed, telling us there was a possibility to take food to go. So we ordered the fried chicken, which was excellent 10/10. And we also ordered the Lobster roll, which was not that good, having tried American lobster rolls which are quite straightforward, this one had so many things that made it not such a good choice and overpriced. Environment was pretty nice though, there was some live jazz going on.

I enjoyed the food but I find the menu a little peculiar, I had a little trouble finding something that I liked/could eat. I would give 4 stars if they had a larger choice or more ordinary/simpler options. I really liked the space and the staff is really nice I would come back for drinks but I don't think I will be back to eat. I found it a little expensive but what you would expect in a touristic place like this.

A disappointing experience.. food was prepared and presented poorly.. Haddock with boiled sweet potato, boiled radishes and a tasteless ‘jus’ ..?! When we asked to cancel the chips that had still not arrived 20 minutes after the main course.. we, and the whole restaurant, was told we would still have to pay..! They did change their minds.. however we left with a sour taste.. having spent €70
