Seasonal cuisine based on fresh produce in a bistro in Saint-Clément-des-Baleines.
We're definitely in the West! This bistro is located in the center of one of the villages best known to tourists for its lighthouse. What a pleasure to sit around a colorful barrel, sheltered from the wind, and enjoy a coffee with friends. And why not continue with lunch? One thing's for sure: the welcome is downright friendly, and the staff are only too eager to please you. Of course, with friends, you can enjoy a homemade spritz and the chef's tapas. The menu is short, with fresh, seasonal produce. Starters include oysters from the Ile de Ré, Andalusian gazpacho and a plate of homemade smoked salmon. Dishes are bursting with local flavors: cod and piquillo coulis, fisherman's fillet, garnished with small island potatoes sautéed in butter and herbs. The atmosphere is convivial, and the desserts, like the orange rice pudding, leave a last drop of deliciousness.

There are a handful of sharing dishes including home smoked duck and salmon.
I chose a tasty pot of lentil and chickpea daal with rice, Mark had duck parmentier with white bean mash. I'd say the food is simple but perfectly put together.
At the time of our visit in late September, only open Wednesday and Sunday so do check in advance.
Svp ramener la bouteille pour savoir si c'est le vrai vin choisi.
