Rented bikes and came here from Trinité-sur-Mer. Out in the country and really peaceful. Watching them work on the grill was a lot of fun. The food was incredible. The lobster came with a trio of sauces that were decadent. A little expensive but worth a visit!

Absolutely LOVED this restaurant that is definitely worth every euro you pay. This is NOT a food factory but a place where (sea)food is prepared to the highest standards and often before your eyes. Visiting this resteaurant is an event ! The crew is SUPER SYMPATHETIC and guves you time to choose, and explains into detail the different dishes. Go there, impossible to be disappointed.

Plenty of style but lacking in substance. La Calypso has nice location but this is only available if you don’t eat there as there is no terrace or space to eat outside. What hits you first are prices of everything with fish priced as if it were more expensive than gold. A lot of the fish and seafood is priced by 100g and lobster is 12 euros for that quantity... as a lobster normally weighs over 600g, you can do the maths. The food is unremarkable but seems to attract the finest and wealthiest tourists but not locals... who probably have more sense than to pay for the privilege of eating here. At least you get fleeced with a smile which is something.

Delightful and delicious! The location is lovely, off the beaten track and on the port, overlooking the windswept coastline. The food is excellent, all very fresh and perfectly prepared.

Amazing food in a perfect atmosphere. Love this clean cut way of cooking.

When I start reading reviews with price not well clear, I somehow got scared. Ultimately, everything is well explained when you place your order, and although I've not ordered anything like the lobster whose price goes by weight, I'm reasonably confident the net weight prior cooking would have been told. That said, this was a superb experience, certainly not cheap, but worth every single cent. The fish was super fresh, well cooked and the flavour given by a charcoal grill cooking is something remarkable. Everything, from the interior to the presentation of dishes, is something that makes this fish restaurant a real experience. Highly suggested the reservation, and, if you don't mind eating early, coming for the first service at 7:30 pm. A note for the owner: though the quality was good, the overall price of desserts is in excess of 2.5 euros each and langoustines salad by 3. Alcohol cost had to be reviewed because I felt the small bottle of wine (can't remember which) 22 euro a bit excessive.

Some of the best seafood ever. THE best oysters ever. Had 2 blue lobsters for dinner & 12 oysters. The lobster was grilled on an open charcoal fire, bathed in butter as it cooked, perfectly finished. Served up with butter and a hollandaise like sauce. As good as that was, the oysters were nearly impossibly good. I got 6 of the local & 6 of the brittany oysters. The local oysters came from the restaurants next door neighbor, harvested that morning. Best I've ever had. Will be back for more. Plus, this place has such an enjoyable atmosphere. Everyone is having a good time, from the owner, to chef,and waitstaff. It's infectious to everyone. The cost of the lobster and some fish is priced by /100g. This can scare some people, and in some cases result in high bills. Never fear, ask and they will tell you ahead of time the weight and cost. Believe me, the cost is worth it.
