Two Michelin stars restaurant, so pretty hard to be disappointed. We went for the signature menu and everything was amazing. They adapted to our wishes. Great products, cooked in wonderful ways. I think we talked about it for one hour after leaving as we were really impressed – and it was not our first starred restaurant. Staff was great and took good care of us. The atmosphere is pretty calm and the new decor is reminding of the ocean. Loved it. You really should go if you're in you're in town.

Excellent service! The best dessert I ever had in my life. Excellent food but not really surprising, I expected a bit more originality in the plate for this kind of restaurant.

Worth a journey to have a fantastic meal at this beautiful restaurant. Should also mention great service. Each time I go there, I feel like I'm coming home.

Very nice restaurant and view, incredible food (mussels were excellent: wife opinion) , very professional staff (apart for the aperitif where the waiter was all smug because he was so happy to sell us his expansive champagne, like if we did not know). Only thing is I was sick all night after eating there. Anyway, worth every penny.

Just popped in for lunch today and had the most amazing experience. From the rosé champagne aperitif to the final mouthful of the dessert - our lunch was a triumph. I shall remember the service and the food for always.

A real TREAT! This restaurant not only have a real panache, but a great great story and real history behind. Favourite of President Mitterrand, apparently Chef Coutanceau sent back his Michelin stars. A real food-experience-land-mark in La Rochelle, France. The views are excellent as the location. But the real star in a restaurant of this standards is the service: second-to-none. Really professional and swift. They are many of them, around you at all times, ready to top up your water or wine or bread. But you never feel like they are on top of you. They never interrupt. And most importantly: nothing is too much trouble. They make you feel comfortable. And then there is food. Coutanceau made me realised that in France, sometimes, is better to spend the extra pounds in a really really good restaurant as at the end is better value for money. There is so many restaurant where you pay quiet a lot but then when the food arrive you realise that you are paying way too much for what it is. Too late. Coutanceau delivers again, again and again in flavour, in technique, in presentation, in seasonality. From the bread and the seaweed butter to the last petit four is very difficult to fault it. There is lots of works done in the kitchen to deliver the dishes. And I'm sure they are proud. I am. I always feel a bit nervous when I arrive and enter this great palace of what food and service combine suppose to be. But very quickly I remember that those extra pounds I will be spending will bring me buckets of joy with a touch of history and lots of real panache. Have a look at my pictures. And enjoy.
