"I must say, this place is a lovely find for us. Very relaxing and chilled out atmosphere. Throughout our 2 week stay in the beautiful town Bretignolles sur-mer we have stopped here twice now. On both occasions the service was outstanding and welcoming. Food was superb, drinks, I must say for me, presentation was impeccable. The little shop inside was very unique and the presentation of produce was kind on the eye. I love this place. Can't wait to come back next year and visit again one evening. Many thanks for you excellent hospitality. Mark & Julie ( Hampshire England)"

"We visited here today after a morning at the beach. Really lovely place, and really reasonable. We had 2 glasses of wine, 2 small beers, a smoothie, croque monsieur, portion of fries and chicken nuggets and chips and it came to 43 euros. The staff were lovely and spoke much better English than I do French! We did say the only thing we thought it was missing was a little bit of music but thats just us. We noticed other people having the cheese and meat boards and they looked lovely too! Would definitely recommend and would definitely return. Thank you!"

"Un arrêt incontournable si vous êtes de la région ! Tout y est fabuleux, tant l'accueil, la qualité des boissons que les repas...Tout est frais et gourmand. Les patrons sont très agréables et l'endroit a été aménagé et décoré avec beaucoup de goût. J'ai passé un excellent moment. Parking juste à côté."

"Nous avons passé un agréable moment dans un lieu convivial à la sortie de la plage. Nous avons été très bien accueilli. Petit conseil : la planche de fromage à partager est un régal (il faudrait seulement disposer le fromage sur la salade pour ne pas le cacher c'est dommage) en tout cas on vous encourage pour cette nouvelle aventure et on vous souhaite une bonne saison on reviendra"
