Beach hut offering seafood, a menu of various dishes and tapas, oysters, and meats.
For those who don't already know, Clamato is one of Bertrand Grébaut's gastronomic offspring, just a stone's throw from his award-winning elder Septime. This iodized restaurant sails between Saint-Jean-de-Luz, L'Ile-d'Yeu and Concarneau, sourcing ultra-fresh products from sustainable artisanal fishing. On the plate, thanks to the chef's talent, you'll find porcini mushrooms and abalone with hazelnut sage butter, or a ceviche of pollack and mandarin satsuma, among other delights. Oysters and seafood are also on the menu.

Today I left hungry and disappointed. First off, more than half the dishes on the menu were cold or raw, and some like ceviche in the name you know will be raw when ordering. But others like the scallops had vague descriptions and I assumed they were cooked. Same with the fish. But what I ended up with was a bunch of similarly raw seafood dishes. Small plates of basically sashimi. Look at the photo of the scallops. 45 grams?? Of scallop for 24 euros and I ordered 2 of these not knowing. Nothing else. All tasted similar- dressing with olive oil + acidic slight variations. The worst? No accompaniments or greens. For the price of the dish, at least put some accompaniments with it. Or offer a salad on the menu so guests can order it.
Also the coques came lukewarm, which was a bit unpleasant. After our meal, I was not satiated and wanted to order some kind of salad or vegetable. But how can you order something that does exist on the menu? My options were courge or eggplant, which I did not feel like eating. I ended up eating a lot of the bread. This menu was a complete miss.
Interiors are still very cute, and quality of food is very good. But they need to rethink the menu. More hot food please!
Pesce di qualità, cotto e crudo, qualche piatto di fantasia che svela buone abilità dei cuochi, cameriera accogliente e disponibile al confronto, conto leggermente alto.
