A great place for an up-scale casual dinner. They can certainly accommodate young children, and we had no problem bringing our 16-month-old son and 7-year-old d...

Decent food and interesting takes on traditional dishes. We liked the food but some of the servings, like the risotto with shrimps are fairly small. The number...

"The kindness of tony and his team adds a touch of extra sympathy to the already frankly top frame. The quality of its products is irreproachable: delicious oysters, superb shrimps and langoustines too good. And you can enjoy on site with a small glass of white wine or take a take away... including her live lobsters who came right from Normandy and who also ask only to delight your palate and stomach. In short a family address, casual with real good quality products in a very pleasant setting. The opposite of the other huts that in my view have become too commercial."

"Tasty meeting meal, house with fresh products. It's a treat from the entrance to the dessert. A very good kitchen with great value for money, hard to find better. Each meal is a trip of thousand flavors!!! The owners are adorable, are always listening to you and humor is about... We invite all the people who pass through La Tranche-sur-Mer to stop in this restaurant next to the Halles of the city center and taste their specialties. We highly recommend it."

"One of our party found this on the net and off we headed for a late breakfast. And were we glad we did! Wonder collection of patisserie along with fruit and yoghurt available for breakfast. Lovely surroundings and pleasant and relaxed service. Even the WC...is a super experience! The local town is also full of nice shops to wonder around and a few art galleries too, so make a morning of it when you’re on the Ile and treat yourself to some wonderful food and coffee!"

"Like diamond, this place shone amongst the sand dune of the Il de Re. It was wonderful. Easy to book, special welcome from great and wholly professional front of house. Maitre D’ was charming and so helpful that I did not need to look at the menu. Every bit of the solely fish dinner was fresh, well cooked (or not I should say for the crevice!! and perfectly matched by the vegetables, herbs and sauces the langoustine sauce was outstanding. Herself could not but go for the peach dessert which looked a picture and was delicious. As herself told them, this is one of those memorable dining out experiences which we shall remember for a long time!!"
