Antonin's advice
« One of my favourite addresses for a lunch with a view. The continuous service is very convenient: you can arrive at 14:30 and have a table. My go-to: fish tartare, a glass of muscadet, and a gourmet coffee. In the evening, the aperitif with a platter at sunset over the bay is magical. Be sure to book well in advance in summer. »
