The most wonderful fresh seafood we had during our visit to the Atlantic coast of France.
For an appetizer we had the 3 oysters au gratin, a local speciality... so tender and fresh!
Our dinners included the Hake with chorizo and a flavorful cream sauce of piquillo peppers, and the famous Mouclade ... the dish that was the reason for eating here in the first place! This is from local muscles in a cream curry sauce and delicate medallions of Crepinette sausage. Both were incredible!
My muscles came, naturally, with perfectly executed fries as well.
This was a dinner we were anticipating for weeks as we planed our trip, and it definitely exceeded expectations, which were already high! The service was polite and efficient.
We combined this evening with a water taxi ride from port de Minimes to Vieux port La Rochelle and a stroll down the buaeutiful historic streets and the city ramparts towers that held firm against the siege of 1628 for so long.
Historic town, classic restaurant, a wonderful evening, and a definite place to return on our next visit!
