Top 5 Seafood in Nouvelle-Aquitaine

13 Rue de la Rousselle, 33000 Bordeaux, France

“I celebrated my birthday dinner at Arcada and it was PERFECT. Overall: My dining experience at Arcada was flawless. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was truly perfect. The overall dining experience was unforgettable and worth every single penny. I will definitely be revisiting this amazing restaurant when I'm in Bordeaux. Certainly worth a visit. Food: The three-course dinner included a pre-starter, as well as a small snack after we finished our dessert. The concept of every dish was well thought-out. It was innovative, and the flavours of each component matched each other incredibly well. The intricate plating on each item served to us created a feast for the eyes as well. As we progressed through the three-course menu, each dish complemented each other and was not overwhelming at all. The overall amount of food was also just nice. Service: The team that served us that night could not be any better. They were fast, attentive and incredibly friendly. The staff spoke English well, explaining each component of the dishes as they were served. They also recommended us local wine from Bordeaux, which was delicious by itself and also complemented the food extremely well.”

27 Rue de la Gare, 33990 Hourtin, France

“Welcoming and helpful staff, attractive terrace and indoor seating. An interesting range of dishes including beautifully fresh seafood and meats, accompanied by thoughtfully prepared vegetables. The wine list not too long, but with something to suit every dish and taste, at a range of prices. Yummy desserts too. To sum up: a top-quality meal in a relaxed atmosphere. I have no hesitations in recommending this restaurant.”

Plage de Chef-de-Baie, Rue de Québec, 17000 La Rochelle, France

“Great spot on the seaside for breakfast , lunch or coffee! Great food 👍, friendly service and fantastic location overlooking the sea. Not fancy by any means, but was a really nice surprise on our bike ride along the coast 👌 I can recommend the tuna burger and moules 👍👍 Kids menu had many options Right beside a small beach that we spent 2 hours at before the tide came in”

6 All. de la Fédération, 47300 Villeneuve-sur-Lot, France

“On a miserable day of rain, they provided us with a most delicious lunch. Their Sticky Toffee pudding must be quite famous in Villeneuve. However, it is wise to book in advance.”

49 Rue d'Espagne, 64200 Biarritz, France

“Totally recommend it! For us it was the best restaurant experience during our stay in Biarritz. All the fish was just so good, and the fish soup... so delicious! Thanks for this great evening!”

16 Rue de l'Olivette, 17670 La Couarde-sur-Mer, France

“The best food on the Island! This incredible little restaurant wasn't even on the list of recommendations from our resort (but it is now) when my husband found it. We walked in, no expectations, after a long day exploring and left knowing we would be back often. It is a small, curated menu, often what's served today may not be served tomorrow (chef Patrick's motto is essentially, if it's wonderfully fresh today, he will create magic with it). The entire menu is mostly local, include the beers. Try any of the entrees; the stuffed zucchini, the razor clams baked in garlic crumbs (if available), avocado mousse salad (again if available), octopus carpaccio, and my absolutely favorite, bone marrow bake with a escargot creme fraiche (made us want to lick the bowl. For your main course, the gambas risotto, skirt steak, fish wrapped in banana leaf (with a side sauce that was addicting) and finish with strawberry creme brulee, fondant chocolate with salted caramel ice cream. This divine find of a restaurant is a reason to come back often to Ile de Re, if only to see what this husband and wife culinary team will create next. You will not be disappointed!”

Rue des Martyrs, 17320 Marennes-Hiers-Brouage, France

“If I could give 6 stars I would , the best seafood I have had in France. Always full of the locals difficult to get a table, but when you can W O W ! Here are the 6 stars anyway.”

4 Rue Jean Bart, 64200 Biarritz, France

“Overall a very good experience. The servers were super nice and helped out with wine suggestions. The food was very good yet despite getting a seven course meal it felt that the portions were super small compared to the price that was being charged. Dinner started well but as the restaurant filled up you could tell the low staffed kitchen was struggling. We sat down for a total of 3 1/2 hours which is way to long. We couldn’t wait to get dessert so we could leave due to the time.”

Rue des Halles, 64200 Biarritz, France

“Very cool and authentic. SUPER friendly service. Awesome vibe. Go! Order oysters that come directly from the market across the way!!”
