Le Tout du Cru : the seafood platter – no pun intended

Located between the covered market and the Old Port, Le Tout du Cru serves up seafood at its very best. No fuss – here, you eat fresh, local produce. Choose from twelve varieties of oysters, delivered every morning by the producers. You can order them on a platter, as part of a mixed platter or à la carte, accompanied by charcuterie and cheese, as well as a fine selection of wines. The atmosphere is relaxed, with mismatched tables. A place we’d recommend without hesitation. Do remember to book – the dining room isn’t very big.

 

A few minutes walk from the hotel

La gerbe de blé : Lunch: simple, friendly and authentically La Rochelle-style.

This one needs a bit of explaining, because the concept always takes people by surprise. La Gerbe de Blé is a bar and restaurant situated outside the market halls. You order a glass of white wine to suit your mood, and you’re given a tray so you can choose your own seafood directly from the producers from the Île de Ré in the market halls: best price guaranteed! You return to your table, where you’ll be served bread, salted butter and a fine local white wine.

The market has a typically local atmosphere; in the late morning between 12 noon and 1.30 pm, tables fill up very quickly, so make sure you arrive early.

Inside the market halls; a 5-minute walk from the hotel.

Le Panier de crabes : for a dinner for two or with friends

On the charming Place de la Fourche, Le Panier de Crabes is a spot that seems to be known only to those in the know. Recommended by Gault & Millau, it serves seafood platters of impeccable freshness. On the terrace, in the shade of a large tree, the ritual of enjoying the platter becomes almost ceremonial. To be savoured at a leisurely pace.
