Well-kept bistro and generous platters
On avenue Roosevelt, between the beach and the famous Ferris wheel of Saint-Brevin-les-Pins, Les Piafs sets the tone from the entrance: “Place to relax”. Inside as well as in the protected inner courtyard, you can settle in for homemade cuisine that changes with the chef's mood and the market's produce.
The menu, short but varied, highlights sharing platters: fine charcuterie (aged ham, coppa, sausage), aged cheeses, homemade country pâté, gherkins and onion compote. Served on a large wooden platter with a basket of fresh bread, they are the house specialty.
For hot dishes: gratin toasts (pear-goat-walnut, ham-mozza), daily specials, fresh salads.
Family welcome, baby-friendly
The address has a great local reputation (4.6/5 on Google with over 250 reviews) and a service that is said to be warm and attentive. Regulars return mainly for the quality of the daily special: reasonable price, carefully selected products, homemade dishes.
The place is accessible for families with high chairs, changing tables and a children's menu. The inner courtyard is appreciated by parents for its sheltered aspect, where children can move around a bit without causing too much disturbance.
Closed Wednesday and Thursday · reservation recommended especially in season.

Antonin's advice
“A good plan when spending a day in Saint-Brevin with the dragon, stroll and beach. Book around 1 PM to get a table in the inner courtyard, and take the platter for two with a glass of white. The pear-goat toast is my favourite. For the kids, they have everything they need.”
