La Marina - Royan

Along the quay waiting staff wear orange shirts lots of restaurants to choose from but seemed to have the most comprehensive menu especially pizza. Calzone was good, nice and hot. Also offered chilli oil first restaurant to do so lovely place to watch the world go buy over a spot of lunch bit of a welcome breeze . Sunday Father’s Day lunchtime so became busy but attentive, friendly service dog friendly as well. €48 for two which seems to be average.

One in a row of similar restaurants beside the harbour. Mussels to the fore....we had one moules poulet like a la creme , one au curry...good home made chips. Touristy yes, but French touristy which equals , more probably than in the UK, good food. So here counts as good food ...prices as you would expect ...with a couple of drinks inc a non alcoholic mojito! ... Breton cider is v good with mussels .... and a dessert and a coffee we were Eur 48. We were lucky to get a table right overlooking the harbour which defo helped the ambience. Say 8.7 out of 10......

Not much to say about it. Average pizzas terrible coffee. Not recommended. There's a lot of better choices nearby...

With an hour or so to kill I went for a walk alongside the Marina. Utterly charming, through a little park and then along side the quays. Having read about this restaurant and the excellence of its pizzas I decided to try it. They are specialists in moules! Nevertheless it was well recommended. The restaurant seating is all on the quayside of the footpath; all within a sun defeating awning. I had a pizza – jolly good but a tad undercooked. Half a litre of the house red later I plunged into the café gourmand with a double expresso. A sheer delight. The staff were utterly charming and attentive. You do pay a small tourist premium on the prices but then: location, location. If you are going at lunchtime get there before 1230! It is usually packed thereafter. Would I go again? Absolutely.

Ordered a lot of diverse meals, but were still served quickly. All meals were delicious and presented adequately. They presented us with water for the table, and the dog! Certainly a place to rest when shopping in Royan
