Café De La Plage - Restaurant Chez Pierre

Fantastic. I had grilled gambas with risotto which was perfect on a cold winter evening. This was preceded by a seasonal ravioli as my appetizer. We were tickled by the pine cone mousse de chocolat. It was worth the walk in the cold and the money. A great holiday treat.

I did not speak French and the server accommodated me very politely and was very kind. I ordered the menu of the day which was fish soup, hake with risotto, and crème brûlée and everything was beautiful, large amounts, and so delicious. Highly recommended!!

We had high expectations as the restaurant had great reviews and our hotel recommended Chez Pierre. The starters were good with fresh lobster ravioli and a Japanese platter, the main courses were so disappointing with entrecôtes which were either burnt or too tough to eat. The medium cooking was correctly done but the meat was very bland and so tough. The entrecôtes came with fries and a good béarnaise sauce but the salad dressed in just strong olive oil was odd. Such a shame at 38€ for a classic dish like this you’d expect a perfectly tender and tasty piece of meat and a green salad tossed in a mouth watering vinaigrette… We left half of the meat… nobody seem to notice there was an issue and we did not have the energy to give the waiter feedback - it is never welcome. The service was friendly and efficient - the decor and location great - the food was just ok and the main dish not great. Such a shame when it could be so good with a little effort…

Michelin recommended right next to the beach. I sat down and expected an expensive and simple salad, I soon realized this place is a pearl. The location is superb, the service is excellent and the food is exquisite. We ate here 3 days a row. The tempo is high and the food is fast but extremely well done. This place deserves the recommendations from Michelin. I highly recommend the baked pie and the chef salad for starter.. Oh man that was an experience. The kids menu is super tasty, those kids sausages have lots of flavor and the green beans taste superb.

Restaurant Chez Pierre is a wonderful restaurant. It is a pity that everywhere it is advertised along with the Café de la Plage, which we did not visit. Because of this, it is not possible to give the restaurant and cafe separate objective reviews. I'm only talking about the restaurant. We first visited it in 2011 and remembered all these years. In September 2022 we were back in Arcachon and visited Chez Pierre 5 times. He got even better. All dishes are very tasty, especially pigeon and tuna. Great service, good wine selection.

Amazing seafood restaurant in front of the beach of Arcachon. We made a reservation few weeks ago thx to that we got a great table in front row. We had a great oysters from Arcachon, scallops and sushi. Everything was fresh and delicious. Service was great by very friendly staff.

Even on a rainy day, this beach-front restaurant was magical. The service was lovely and welcoming even though our French is less than great. The oysters were as good as we had heard, and the rest if the meal was beautiful as well as delicious. Merci bien!

Everything was great about this place except that it took a really long time to get the waiter to bring our check when we had finished our meal. Wwe probably would have ordered a coffee as well, if it had bot taken so long for them to come afterwards. But, it was a very busy day, so I can't really fault the server. Overall, great atmosphere and great environment and the food was also fantastic!
