Facing the bay, one of the best addresses
On the boulevard René Dubois, in the eastern part of La Baule's seafront, Les Sablons offers one of the most beautiful restaurant views in the resort. The covered terrace overlooks the bay: dine with the sailboats on the horizon and the sound of the waves.
The menu is varied: on the Breton side, buckwheat galettes with fillings (complete, seafood, sweet-savoury), sweet crêpes, and the famous homemade kouign-amann with salted caramel. On the restaurant side, seafood platters (Mesquer oysters, langoustines, spider crab), fresh salads, daily specials depending on the catch.
Rated 4.6/5 with over 1,370 reviews, it's a safe bet.
At sunset, the magical moment
If you remember only one thing: book a table on the terrace at sunset. Boulevard René Dubois faces directly west over the bay, and the view is stunning as the sun sets over the water. The red lampshade lights along the balustrade give the scene an unusual bistro feel.
The welcome is warm, the service efficient, and the portions generous. For seafood lovers, the royal platter to share is a must-try.
Reservation essential · plan for the terrace in advance.

Antonin's advice
« Probably the best sea view / quality of cuisine ratio in La Baule. My ideal scenario: table on the terrace for dinner around 20:00 in May-June (the sun sets late, the light is magical). I have the complete galette and a platter of oysters as a starter. Really, book several days in advance in season. »
