L'endroit du goinfre

Excellent cuisine served on terrace along a pedestrian street just behind the port of La Flotte. The server and chef mingled and joked with the patrons. A really friendly atmosphere and top-notch dishes. We had no room for dessert, but the red wine from Nîmes was a pleasant surprise and we saved dessert for an ice-cream at La Martinière in St.Martin-de-Ré which is not far away. Be prepared to park away from the port and walk down to the restaurant but it is a lovely tree-lined avenue with ample angle-parking or small lots facing the ocean boardwalk. Just a really lovely experience all-around ☺️

Great welcome and attentive, interested staff. Unusual menu - rather different to the conventional harbour fare - with great ideas and ingredients. Wonderful flavours and textures. Our food was absolutely delicious, washed down with a very affordable bottle of local rose. We ate burrata, queenies (valets), rose veal chop and bavette with St Felicien cheese (what a great combination). The quirky dining room is well laid out and has a great buzz when it’s full. We would heartily recommend this restaurant - you’ll have to book.

A good restaurant in La Flotte that we have visited many times over the last 7 years and never disappointed. We found having to download the menu a pain but did not spoil the evening and would return especially for the Cote du Veau and truffle polenta.

The little restaurant was a great spot to eat. Beside all the bad restaurants in France, this one is an absolute stunner. The burger was amazing and i would recommend it to everybody who loves a good burger. Looking forward to be there again in the future.

Great food and great ambiance, one of the places on the island we always revisit!
