Boasting an idyllic location in the port of Saint-Martin-de-Ré, a tasteful seaside theme sets the tone of this chic brasserie. The score showcases top-drawer ingredients, crafted deftly and precisely, enhanced with a scattering of new takes on pedigree family favourites, like snails or sole meunière, together with dishes to share (turbot or aged rib of beef). The superb lounge-cum-patio and cocktail bar are justly popular. On-the-ball service.
