Aperitif Caribbean style, facing the boats
On the quays of the marina of Pornichet, La P'tite Case is this address a little away from the bars of the resort, set by the pontoons. People come for the Caribbean cocktails served in generous measures: mojito, ti-punch, planteur, caipirinha, daiquiri, piña colada, not forgetting the homemade spiced rums.
You order at the counter, settle on a brightly painted barrel or on a stool on the terrace, and watch the sailing boats return to port. For a snack, the accras served with their spicy sauce are the signature dish of the place.
On the non-alcoholic side, light mojito and light planteur are also on the menu.
A Creole atmosphere, concerts in season
The interior, repainted with a large tropical mural, sets the tone: you are in a cool, colourful, and musical setting. The menu alternates between classic Caribbean dishes and house creations, all to be enjoyed in moderation (the cocktails are generous).
On Friday and Saturday evenings, La P'tite Case transforms into a concert bar: live musicians from around 21:30, guaranteed atmosphere until 2am. On other evenings, the spirit remains friendly with an upbeat soundtrack.

Antonin's advice
« This is my favourite aperitif spot on the peninsula. We arrive by bike around 18:00, order a ti-punch and some accras, and watch the port come alive. On Friday evenings, the concert starts around 21:30: it's best to arrive early to get a barrel on the terrace. Drink responsibly, the rums are strong. »
