16 Romantic Islands Every Food-Lover Needs to Visit
"Cycling through white-washed fishing villages hugging small ports, through vineyards and marshes, and along long sweeping beaches, while stopping off for oysters farmed right on the spot." - Rooksana Hossenally
"Friendly and attractive, this pocket handkerchief restaurant instantly makes you feel at home. The concise, appetising menu showcases island produce with a weakness for seafood, illustrated by the flawlessly cooked monkfish, flanked by a chardonnay-flavoured sabayon and white asparagus. Intelligently curated wine list, the occasional inventive note and a scattering of thoughtful attentions." - Michelin Inspector
this place is situated in the heart of la flotte
one of the nicest villages on the island.
it is less snobbish then the rest of the island and you can see real kids and real vacation attractions...
the restaurant is only with 8 tables do you better book ahead.
the menu is with a few options but since the chef is almost alone in the kitchen i can understand why.
every dish is extremely complicated so many ingredients and tastes (i would take of of few)
but it is so good! it definitely deserves a star or a fork !
the price if fair certainly for what it is.
after a period on the island and in the area it is definitely the best french restaurant by far.
don't hesitate book it today.
they sell home made cornichons (pickels)
buy one too!

This chef and his crew do a great job of utilizing local ingredients to create beautiful dishes to test your palate. The wine list is extensive. The chef came out and went over the menu and checked on us regularly (he knew our knowledge of the French language was limited, and he spoke English well.) If you'd like a Michelon quality restaurant in a beautiful little town on an island in France. This is your place. Made reservations online. Highly recommend reservations.

A close distance from the Harbor, the restaurant greets us with a warm and cosy atmosphere.
The Michelin registered restaurant offers an original menu that we enjoyed thoroughly.
Special mention for the lobster and the soufflé.
Why not a star for 2026?

the Risotto was delicious, which accompanied the Lotte, which was probably a couple of seconds from being perfect.
the citrus fruit tarte was also very good, with a very thin and very short pastry, not to sweet... perfect..
happy, that i found that place, not much open at the moment... 😉no

Surely the best value for money fine dining experience anywhere in my experience anyway. 3 courses at lunch is only 33 euros and this quality of food in London for example would cost I would say at least £100 a head. Just fantastic. I’m sure my uploaded picture doesn’t do the starter justice :-(

What an amazing and pleasant experience spent last night at Chai Nous Comme Chai Vous ! High premium quality foods and wines, new flavours and to make a long story short, such a perfect moment over the moon. Last but not least : a face to face meeting with the chief around an after dinner drink where he was able to tell us about his history and passion). Definitely I recommand but make sure to book long before enough (just 20 seats that also makes the place very cosy).

Another year, another stay on Ile de Re, and another fantastic visit to the Chai!Chef Favier is an artist, and his wife Florence is an incredibly attentive host. The setting is very romantic, and the dishes so creative! Highly recommended for a special night out in La Flotte!
