A decor that sets the tone

Avenue de la Mer in Pornichet, Sauvage plays the card of unique decor · large black and white mural illustration of a woman in sunglasses, camel leather banquettes, leopard print coasters, soft lighting. The tone is set · intimate, slightly quirky, perfect for a dinner for two or a cocktail aperitif with friends.

The team is young and engaged, the welcome is warm and the cuisine is led by a passionate chef. The menu changes regularly with the market · inventive dishes, careful presentations, mastered cooking. Bistronomy here is serious, but without solemnity.

The cocktail bar as an extension

Beyond the cuisine, Sauvage particularly takes care of the bar area · original signature cocktails, creations made to order according to your tastes, high-quality spirits. A well-stocked shelf, a skilled bartender, and glasses that pair (very well) with or without snacks to nibble on.

Good news for food lovers · you can come just for a drink or combine cocktails + dinner. Expect €12-15 per cocktail, €60-70 per person for a full dinner with starter, main course, dessert. Reservation recommended, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings · the room is small, word of mouth works well.

From L'Écrin des Nymphes

Sauvage is located about 8 km from the studio, in Pornichet. Allow 15 to 20 minutes by car via the D192 or the Boulevard de l'Atlantique. Ideal for an evening dinner without being confined to La Baule. Possibility to combine with a walk at the port of Pornichet or an aperitif on the quays before the service.

Antonin's advice

« One of my good addresses to change from La Baule without driving 30 minutes. The service is young, motivated, the cuisine is refined and the cocktails (really) good. My advice · arrive around 19:30 for a cocktail aperitif at the bar, then dinner. Short menu but what comes out of the kitchen is always spot on. Reserve via Instagram DM, it's the most effective way. »
