If your are in this area visit it! It is amazing seeing so much Sand next to the ocean. They way up and down is easy if you take the stairs, through the Sand is better feeling. Walk a bit in top of the dune and enjoy the views. Lots of parking available for 7 euros for hours. It was full at noon time, maybe go earlier or later.

Wonderful views. Decently challenging walk up for adults, not difficult but exhilarating. At the top the sand and wind whips your ankles like some sort of expensive skin treatment. Well worth the effort for the amazing views.

This is another fun thing to do in France. If you plan on climbing to the top, wear comfy clothes. Sitting at the top after arriving is fun and there's plenty of room for a large crowd. Highly recommend.

It’s a nice spot to visit. Get there early to avoid the masses. Go down to the beach if you‘re fit enough. I saw loads of people pretty much dying on their way up the dune. The parking spots are okay and safe. Ho for lunch to arcachon.

We visited Arcachon for a day, during our holidays in Bordeaux. We got there by train, so our whole experience was without a car. We took the bus from the city centre to the Dune of Pilat. The ride was approximately 45 minutes through the residential areas of Arcachon. The bus stop is right next to the parking area of the Dune. From there you can walk straight to the Dune, passing by the small shops and snack bars. We were lucky as the temperature was quite comfortable during our visit. It takes around 20 minutes to get to the dune and the last part is the hardest. After a short walk on the fine sand, you reach the stairs with around 150 steps to get to the top of the dune. And when we were there, it was packed with people so getting up there took some time. Definitely worth the effort and the time to get to the top though. Once in a lifetime experience. The views are amazing and the scenery is outstanding. We visited the dune with our two children and everything was OK. You can get some rest, cool down and have a quick lunch, refreshment or snacks when you get back to the entrance area. The bus to the city centre comes every hour so keep an eye on the timetables so that you don't waste any time waiting. The number 3 bus goes through the residential areas and the busy beaches. You get the chance to get off at Moulleau for example. Overall a great experience. Great photos and definitely a cool memory for everyone.

Stunning location and pretty much free (bar the parking charge). Really recommend for all ages (does require a little physical fitness)

Lovely place but very crowded, lot's of people and the parking, hard to find one. But the view is wonderful. 4/5

Perfectly situated by the beach, this French gastronomy restaurant has quality seafood and great meat dishes with a creative and modern touch. The food was really tasty and delicious overall but the cocktails could have been better executed (dry martini with ice cubes and a straw). Staff was very friendly and price was OK for the standard!

One of the best meals I had while at the bassin! And the view is very hard to top! Service could improve, though!

Great location, good food and good service BUT the tables are so close to each other that if you are a non smoker and someone very unpolite sits 50 cm next to you and lights up 2 cigarettes at once it ruins your dinner!! Got up and left and thanks goodness we were almost finished. Won’t go back again.

The view is stunning but they have increased their prices. The cheapest pizza costs 18 euros!! The food is tasty but it not worth the money. I will not come back.

I was on the trattoria side. Pizza was great, pasta were good. Not enough choice for vegan people though.

Ate a pizza and a pasta, and they were great! Perfect beachside location by the Pier. Nice staff! Great place!

Fine dining out by the sunset. Must return for one of those platters of shellfish. Everything else was exceptional.

Excellent beach with wonderful sand. The tide can get quite high making for exciting sandcastles and thrilling swimming.

Wonderful beach. Some Germans built two concrete sand castles there. And the French painted them nicely.

Wonderful location with Chez Aldo bar restaurant and picnic tables in an island of surviving pines as all the surrounding forest burnt last summer. Beach access fenced off at northern end due to shore erosion and now is a sand cliff.

Ok here for easy access and parking. Nothing else.

The cookies are very rich in flavor. We tried out a small cup of the mini cookies. It was spot on. Well worth the experience. If you ever come across such do get it a try. You will only want more.

This is a great place to park (was free when I came in Sept) and see the Dune du Pilat. Very few people walking up on the dune. It's a wild beach, so nice for a walk. The water in some places has a very strong current and is not necessarily safe for swimming, the water had a bad smell and rusty colour. So, great for the Dune, not good for swimming - go to Cape Ferret instead.

Wonderful place to watch the sunset.

A lovely zoo, bigger than expected with a wide range of different animals and birds. Animals were all out and the enclosures looked well maintained. A little pricey at 26 euros each but actually well worth it with young kids. I would definitely recommend this as a short day trip out.

5 stars because of gorilla Lope who moved here. I've been following since he was 3 years old and they are taking excellent care of him. Love how clean and well looked after the zoo is. And a great collection of animals. The staff/keepers are super friendly and can't wait to visit again. Find me on YouTube 😊.

The best zoo that we have ever visited. To have such close proximity to every creature was an experience we relished The site is beautiful, clean and well maintained. I highly recommend a visit.

We were here first time 18 years ago. It us still an amazing zoo. Worth the price.

Really nice zoo. At first looking at the entrance I wasn't impressed but once inside all was good. You never should judge a book by it's cover. There is a wide collection of animals. Form birds to African elephants, from tigers to rino's. And of course apes. The enclosures where spacious set up. And the walking route was clearly pointed out so you won't miss any of the animals. We took our time and our visit was around 3 - 3.5 hours

Best zoo I have ever been to. It kind of feels like a very natural environment and you can get quite close to the animals. We really loved it here!

Not too bad for a zoo (we are not zoo lovers). Took us just over 4 hrs to walk around nice and slow, plenty of animals to see and enjoy. All the animals had plenty of space and areas to roam.

Looks cute from the outside. We asked for a table in the shade but we’re given a table in the sun, while a « reserved » shaded table remained empty next to us for the duration of our meal. Service was slow with no waiter offering to take our drinks order for 10 minutes while sitting in the sun. We finally ordered our meal with no menu provided. The sole came very oddly cooked with the skin still on and hard to remove. A weird over salted potato and mushroom purée was served with the fish; an inappropriate addition in the summer heat. The bill was the final straw. Total rip-off, poor service, mediocre food.

unfriendly, although space was available to sit in a wheel chair and obviously highly pregnant comfortably, we were refused to get a normal hight table. Only a bar table was offered. What a service is that 😒

Great food, specially the fish is great. However slow and unorganised service.

Great service to find is a table and served lovely fish etc for lunch.

Super

(Translated by Google) The people who run this establishment are adorable. The food is delicious and the setting is very nice. We had a great time. We will come back with pleasure! (Original) Les personnes qui tiennent cet établissement sont adorables. La nourriture est délicieuse et le cadre est très sympa. Nous avons passé un très bon moment. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir!

(Translated by Google) Very good restaurant! The fish and fruit are delicious! We had a pleasant time. (Original) Très bon restaurant ! Les poissons et les fruits sont succulents ! Nous avons passé un agréable moment.

Unclear whether this is a buffet or a restaurant. Some food had to be collected from the counter and some was served to the table, but as we were given no directions we were waiting for our food for ages. The food was nothing special and not worth the struggle of trying to get hold of it. No one seems to know what is going on so the general atmosphere was one of confusion.

Very chaotic and even the waiters didn't seem to know what was going on. It was inexplicably both table service and buffet. Food was not particularly exciting and not worth the long wait.

Charged 4 euros fir a cup of milk

Breathtaking landscape

Very expensive for the size of the dish

(Translated by Google) We were 6 people, 3 generations, and we all had a great time! Their formula with verrines is really practical for sharing with the whole table. You can taste everything in a good moment of conviviality. The staff is very friendly and very accommodating. We went there in February, and ate inside but otherwise, a terrace is available. And if it's a little cool, they'll even lend you blankets. I recommend this restaurant where we were very well received and ate very well. (Original) Nous étions 6 personnes, 3 générations, et nous nous sommes tous régalés ! Leur formule avec les verrines est vraiment pratique pour partager avec l’ensemble de la table. On peut ainsi goûter à tout dans un bon moment de convivialité. Le personnel est très sympathique et très arrangeant. Nous y sommes allés en février, et avons mangé à l’intérieur mais sinon, une terrasse est disponible. Et si il fait un peu frais, ils vous prêtent même des plaids . Je recommande ce restaurant où nous avons été très bien accueilli et avons très bien mangé.

BE VERY CAREFUL — WORMS IN THE FISH!!! I want to share my review of Le Café Ha(a)ïtza. I am a regular customer — they have a wonderful pastry shop in the hotel, and today we decided to go there for lunch. We ordered fish (which was poorly cooked to begin with), and to our shock, we found a moving WORM inside. The most surprising thing, however, was the reaction of the staff. Of course, they offered to replace the dish, but no one suggested covering the cost of the dish cause of this horrifying situation — especially considering the reputation of the establishment. I refused to eat. And in addition he told - it's normal to have it in fish sometimes! NORMAL!!!!!!! Seriously....! Later, when the waiter came and offered us dessert, we asked, "Will it be free for us?" Only then he told 'yes'. I am in shock about the service and the terrible quality of the food. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Be very careful!!!

Delicious food, one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in le Bassin. The menu was affordable and the quality of the dishes was impressive. The only thing I would say is that the waiter was a bit pretentious: our friend asked the waiter why his Chocolate fondant cake wasn't flowing, and he said he was telling this to people 100 times a day, that a fondant isn't meant to be flowing, not to be mistaken with a mi-cuit. I've never heard that before, but he could have told us this without the attitude. That being said, the brioche perdue was out of this world and so we're the oysters, but the omelette norvégienne wasn't good.

The service was fast, the staffs were kind. We ordered oyster and fois gras for starter and grilled beef and codfish as main course. All delicious.

Excellent tastefully decorated A! restaurant near the ocean (no ocean view, though). The set menus are of highest quality (32/37 euros). The service is attentive and with a smile! I highly recommend it! This restaurant works jointly with Corniche O! (higher class, higher price, with a view over the ocean and the dunes).

One of the nice restaurants in the area. Very near the beach too. The dessert was nothing special but the steaks were very tender. The steamed asparagus was a nice touch too. The staff could've been more friendly though and a little bit more attentive.

In a verdant terrace in Pyla, under the canopy of pine trees exist this great Café Ha(a)itza. Friendly service, great ambience, casual vibe, well appointed decor, and delicious fresh food. Entrée + plat or plat + dessert or entrée + plat + dessert.

Great place to have breakfast, lunch or dinner

Came here for dinner in a big group during a rainy evening. Restaurant is located right on a peaceful and beautiful beach area. You will Certainly enjoy a good meals while serving with cool sea breeze and views. Internal decor was simple but conducive and welcoming. Not crowded, I guessed it was due to rain. There was a traditional fireplace at a corner which added the warmness during this rainy and cold night but a special touch to the restaurant. When we entered to the restaurant, owner and their Family members( I guessed becoz they were liked a family when working and talking to each other) greeted us with a sincere and big smiles. They were very attentive and quick to respond to our requests. Food were served relatively fast and tastes good with nice presentation. They also served very good wine and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks too. What a shame they had to shut the terrace area by lower down the plastic blinds to block the rain and cold wind, although the blinds are transparent but still didn't give you the best good nice seaview. Anyway, all of us left with a good smiles and nice meals. Thanks to the great owner and their team who had serving us well. A big thank you shout out to the beautiful young lady who spoke good English, patiently explained and introduced most of their food and drinks to us the whole night. Recommend you to bring your family or a group of your friends here to try their hospitality and good food and drinks.

Menu was good, but the kids menu with burger and fries was excellent (wished to order it for myself, but was not allowed). The view is a blast! Prices are a bit high but worth it

Great food in a stunning place. Service better than imagined. Well done !!!

An absolute delight, with wonderfully executed dishes (delectable elevated cuisine that’s very reasonably priced), thoughtful and warm service, and a fantastic location that wraps up your day at one of the best wild beaches south of Arcachon.

Beautiful restaurant located right next to the beach. Very nice service and great food as well. One of Arcachon’s best.

Dinner with sunset! I enjoyed the food and vine a lot. Extremely friendly staff. We will go again. Thank you for the great evening!

Nice restaurant located on the quiet lagune beach close to the dune. The cocktails and barbecued fish were excellent. We did not know that the entrés are big in portion (normally not the case in France) so we ordered a bit of too much with entré and main together but the food was sincerely good that we happily overate😀! Next time we will order better so we have space to try their tasty looking desserts as well!

I did not speak French and the server accommodated me very politely and was very kind. I ordered the menu of the day which was fish soup, hake with risotto, and crème brûlée and everything was beautiful, large amounts, and so delicious. Highly recommended!!

Amazing seafood restaurant in front of the beach of Arcachon. We made a reservation few weeks ago thx to that we got a great table in front row. We had a great oysters from Arcachon, scallops and sushi. Everything was fresh and delicious. Service was great by very friendly staff.

Everything was great about this place except that it took a really long time to get the waiter to bring our check when we had finished our meal. Wwe probably would have ordered a coffee as well, if it had bot taken so long for them to come afterwards. But, it was a very busy day, so I can't really fault the server. Overall, great atmosphere and great environment and the food was also fantastic!

The waiting staff were amazing! Patient, nice, friendly, professional - they knew what they were doing and you can expect an enjoyable moment here. The crustaceans were fresh. We had sushi, beef tartare and the duck filet, all were good.

Michelin recommended right next to the beach. I sat down and expected an expensive and simple salad, I soon realized this place is a pearl. The location is superb, the service is excellent and the food is exquisite. We ate here 3 days a row. The tempo is high and the food is fast but extremely well done. This place deserves the recommendations from Michelin. I highly recommend the baked pie and the chef salad for starter.. Oh man that was an experience. The kids menu is super tasty, those kids sausages have lots of flavor and the green beans taste superb.

Very quick service. Staff were very polite. Steak was a little chewy and fatty. But seafood, wine and desserts were great. Plus great view of the ocean

Recommended by the tourist office and was not disappointed. Location cannot get any better, fantastic service and oysters. Impressive selection of cold seafood all served in a generous tray of ice Cooked food was slightly hit and miss, the sole was beautiful but the sauce/flavouring of scallops were not my favourite. It is also a bit pricy hence 4 not 5 stars. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back when in Arcachon.

If you’re in Arcachon, this oyster bar is a must-visit. The oysters are incredibly fresh—sweet, briny, and full of flavor straight from the bay. It’s a no-frills, authentic experience that lets the quality of the seafood shine. Pair it with a glass of crisp white wine and you’ve got the perfect afternoon. Simple, delicious, and very Arcachon.”

If you’re looking for the perfect place to enjoy oysters, it should definitely be l’Oyster Bar in Arcachon, located right inside the local market. I had never tried oysters before, and I couldn’t imagine a better place for my first experience. Fresh, delicious, and perfectly served — I instantly became a fan. What makes this place even more special is the atmosphere: local, friendly, and welcoming staff who speak several languages. If you hesitate about what to choose, they are happy to suggest the perfect drink pairing — from wine to soft drinks for kids. It’s also a wonderful spot for families to enjoy fresh seafood together. I already miss you guys — can’t wait to come back!

We opted for their oyster platter, and it was simply sublime. The oysters were incredibly fresh and tasted like they had just been pulled from the sea. Each one was plump, briny, and perfectly shucked. The atmosphere in the market adds to the experience, making it a lively and authentic spot to enjoy some of the best oysters the region has to offer. The staff were friendly and efficient, adding to a thoroughly enjoyable lunch. For anyone looking for a genuine taste of Arcachon's famed oysters, L'Oyster Bar is an absolute winner. Highly recommended!

Just an absolutely fantastic place for lunch. Located inside the Arcachon market, you cannot go wrong eating here. Sometimes there is a long wait, but be patient, it is worth the wait. The menu has several options for fresh local oysters, you can't go wrong. The larger platters are well worth it as well, as you get to try a bit of everything. The smoked salmon is also a great option. Good wine options as well. Do not miss this place if visiting Arcachon.

It’s actually not one place. It’s a collection of food stalls and on this day, outdoor market. It was a little chaotic at first. Then we learned there’s a section of tables where you can fer your food in the market and sit there to eat. So we got dozens of shucked oysters, rosé, beer, and seafood salads. It was all very lively and convivial. Good fun. Everything was promptly closed down at 1:30 so you need to make sure to get your foods before then. I had wanted some seeets (Dunes looked good) but alas, it was too close to closing time and they stopped serving. Recommend you come here on the early side of lunch and enjoy.

Very nice oyster bar in the market located in the centre of Arcachon. The oysters are very good 👍! The service is very good! We went two days in a row while we were staying here.

The queue was pretty long, I was worried and hoping for the taste to be ok so I won’t be upset 😂 turns out it was actually delicious tho, so fresh, so yummy, the portion was huge, and have several option of wine as well. I am happy and enjoying Oyster Bar

it rains a lot, really a lot, but when the weather is fine it is an ecological paradise

After spending my first semester in University of Bordeaux studying Marine Environment, I feel like Arcachon Bay is part of me now. Its in my head. Anyhow, its amazingly beautiful and hosts so many species of organism. Loved every single second I spent in Arcachon Bay.

fantastic place recommend a boattrip with seaplatter for full experience of the lac in a confortable setting

The magnificent bassin of Arcachon is already world famous and we had the opportunity to visit it during the August Feria... the traditional and local “Fête de la Mer” with animations, live concerts and shared “pique-nique” on the sea shore. The beach is small but nice and the bassin is breaking the waves so it’s ideal for little kids to play in the water. The city center is pittoresque and I recommend to move by bike because the narrow streets and summer crowd does make the use of a car very inconvenient.

This town is so nice

The interior was typical Basque as it matches the restaurant’s name : Le Basque, in the Arcachon Bay, a few steps away from the beach. The restaurateur also from the Basque land. However, his manner was a bit too familiar. I would hate to see him when he is stressed. The mussels marinières were not of a culinary experience, not to be repeated. The frites were good.

Best place on earth

We loved walking All around it. Not touristique at all... And you can find great oyster farmers where you can enjoy this great product

Lovely restaurant to grab oysters and a glass of wine. Very casual setting. The wine was only €2 and the oysters were half the price than you'd pay in a city, plus they were very fresh. The outside seating is nice, even in late December. They've put up some decorations and lights to make it more cozy.

A fascinating visit to learn about oyster farming in the region. There is a "via dolorosa" kind of stations - each explaining a different aspect of oyster farming and/or the history of such.

A place to meet with friends and relax. Price is reasonable and very fresh.

Nicht 2.5 km walk with Good opportunities for bird waiting and photographing.

Really nice place for a walk and discovered the local area.

Great place to pass an hour and enjoy a platter of oysters

Clean, spacious and delicious food. Lots of meat and fried food options. Price is affordable and you can even choose your sauce for certain food.

Food is quite good and a varied choice for a Chinese Buffet.What let's it down is the cleanliness, the surrounds need dusting. Someone was spraying something on the grills and the whole restaurant then smelled like an Ozone Zone. It was very pungent

Huge choice of food and all great quality. Friendly staff and very nicely decorated. Highly recommend this place

Great diversity of sea-food and all sort of food. Good quality, good service.

Great Oriental foods with affordable price. Staffs are friendly and welcoming.

Impect

Very tasty Asian food lots of choices, very nice personnel, reasonable pricing.

The service is a little bit slow but the tacos are awesome! Very tasty, good relation price-quality and friendly staff.

Delicious food where the menu has the right amount of choices. Nice environment and easily accessible. Heard that it is hard to find a table during weekends.

Open till late! Approximately 2300HRS

good experience, recommend 😊

Best tacos in the south bassin

Excellent kebab !

My favorite kebab restaurant

This was a great meal. It’s a very unassuming spot that clearly takes great pride in its food. We ordered one of everything in the main dishes (steak, duck, lamb, fish of the day, vegetables). The tomato straciatella salad was one of the best things I’ve had this trip. Only reason I knocked off one star is we ordered the steak medium rare and it came very rare. We also had two bottles of very nice wine.

We visited on Saturday night and we loved it here so much. The food was incredible and fresh. We ordered the tomato and tuna starters which were out of this world . I ordered the fish of the day (beautiful , delicate flavours ) and my husband ordered the duck which he said was amazing . We shared a tiramisu - would highly recommend and the best we have ever had. The waitresses were so lovely and helpful. We always try with our very limited French but they were more than willing to help us and spoke excellent English and recommended a wine we both really enjoyed. One waitress very kindly gave us a menu in English . Would recommend booking a table as the restaurant looked full. Un grand merci 🙌🏼.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to try the food. I had planned my trip three weeks in advance and made reservations at several restaurants in the area to enjoy with my mum. While all the other restaurants promptly sent confirmation emails or text messages, I never received any confirmation for my booking at Acacia, even after entering my card details—neither by email nor by text. As a result, I assumed my reservation hadn’t gone through. Additionally, unlike the other restaurants, I was not contacted 24–48 hours before my booking to confirm my attendance. However, just seven minutes after my reservation time had passed, I immediately received both a text message and an email informing me that €20 would be charged to my card for not showing up. When I called to explain that I had never received a confirmation and was therefore unaware that the booking was in place, the staff were disappointingly rude and told me they “didn’t have time to contact all their bookings to confirm.” I completely understand that technical issues can happen, and I wouldn’t have minded the €20 charge under different circumstances. However, the way the situation was handled was extremely disappointing - especially for a restaurant where you expect a high standard of service. If the quality of service is going to be this unreliable, perhaps Acacia should not be featured in the Michelin guide. Edit – 17/06/25: Since I can't reply directly to the owner's response, I'll add my comments here. This was Mother's Day weekend. I went to another restaurant that had confirmed my booking, and I called you back after dinner (I generally don't answer the phone while dining). There was no rudeness on my part during our call; in fact, I could barely ask a couple of questions as I was repeatedly interrupted. I'm not surprised by your attempt to downplay the situation—labelling dissatisfied customers as "rude" is an easy way to avoid addressing legitimate concerns. I want to reiterate that your system (MangezNotez) does not consistently deliver booking confirmations or card imprint receipts/notifications. I have never experienced another business holding a temporary amount on my card without providing confirmation of the card imprint. You can handle this feedback as you see fit, but as your booking process mentions a high number of "no-shows," it would make sense if only half of your customers are actually receiving confirmations.

Thank goodness for innovative cuisine. Such a pleasure to find a small restaurant being different amongst all the usual suspects. Their tasting menu of four courses was devine. The staff were superb and all up it was the highlight of our 4 nights in Arcachon. Dinner reservation is best to avoid disappointment. We came back for lunch! The Menu du Midi was superb too. €23pp

Everything was just amazing - can only recommend and say that we will definitely will be back!!

We had an awesome evening. Perfect Food, Service and Wine!

Beautiful lovely food. It is all you need to know. Staff also friendly and helpful. A great establishment doing that little higher quality food (from what is a town with lots of very good restaurants). Highly recommended.

We were lucky that the restaurant staff found a table for us.... during the season and weekends reservation highly recommended. Service is good and friendly. Food is freshly prepared and from local produce. Atmosphere relaxed.

Great location overlooking a beautiful harbour. The dishes tasted excellent. The wine selection and advice was outstanding. Top price-performance ratio.

Had the most amazing time at La Table de L'Oléa. We enjoyed a lovely view of the sunset, and the staff were incredibly patient in explaining the menu in English while remaining attentive throughout the evening. I thoroughly enjoyed the set menu, which included oysters, squid tagliatelle, beef fillet with beetroot purée, and a chocolate dessert. Every dish was beautifully executed, making this a truly memorable meal.

One of the best lunches I have had in a very, very long time. We will definitely go back when we are next in the region. I don’t normally rate restaurants but that definitely deserves a mention. The food was absolutely delicious and the chef appeared really passionate. Lovely to see. Very selfishly, I hope the restaurant becomes a real success story so they stay in the area …and we can come back again and again. Michelin star assurée. Mark my word.

My family very much enjoyed the 7 course degustation with wine pairings. The dishes were all delicious with very fresh seafood and amazing sauces. The sommelier’s wine pairings were perfect and also helped us expand our French wine knowledge further. I would highly recommend this meal and we were so glad we found this restaurant while we were visiting the area.

Really enjoyed the delicious 5 course menu and the attentive service

The best meal and wine combination we have had for over a decade. For a special occasion you will not be disappointed.

The setting and la mise en scene over the Bay of Archachon is cinematically breathtaking. Unfortunately, the food and service were not worthy of such a backdrop. My wife had a very plausible and laudable seafood platter which was plucked from the local waters. This did not require any artifice from the chef though. Unfortunately, my starter was contaminated by a raw egg and my Tuna steak main was decimated incongruously with incinerated rissoto and a medley of unrecognisable vegetables. (The locals seemed to wisely stick to moules frites judging by the dishes from our neighbouring tables.) I hate to quibble but the amazing local baguette wasn't fresh nor was my wife's green salad. Finally, there is an onus on the staff to question why the plates were mostly uneaten. Rien from the waiters. We would come back in a heartbeat for a glass of Bordeaux and the sunset over the bay but hold the cuisine s'il vous plait.

Hard to not get mussels right... But they did! Service was average, we came during the boat show so it was pretty packed but again, how hard can it be to make mussels. The worst part is to queue for 20 min at the end to pay. It's 2024 get payments at the table...

(Translated by Google) A lunch in a warm atmosphere with a view of the Arcachon basin that I recommend. Served quickly, with smiling and dynamic waiters, a very affordable €22 menu, homemade with fresh produce, perfect for a meal in a top setting. Note that the bread is fresh which is not to be neglected either. A great discovery that I recommend, I will come back with pleasure. (Original) Un déjeuner dans une ambiance chaleureuse avec vue sur le bassin d'Arcachon que je conseille. Servi rapidement, avec des serveurs souriants et dynamiques, un menu à 22€ très abordable, fait maison avec des produits frais, parfait pour un repas dans un cadre au top. A noter que le pain est frais ce qui n'est pas à négliger non plus. Une belle découverte que recommande, je reviendrai avec plaisir.

(Translated by Google) Very large restaurant with a large terrace and magnificent views of the bay. Friendly welcome and service. We arrived first, the server let us choose our seats and was even kind enough to let us sit at a table for four, saving us the hustle and bustle of a large reserved table. The wait for our food was rather long. I had time to notice a few things, like cobwebs between our glasses. In fact, we were served, and we drank from chipped glasses (one water glass and one for the aperitif). The dishes were well served but lacked a bit of flavor. (Original) Très grand restaurant avec grande terrasse et magnifique vue sur le bassin. Accueil et service agréable. Arrivés les premiers, le serveur nous a laissé choisir notre place et a même eu la gentillesse de nous laisser nous installer à une table pour 4, nous épargnant ainsi le brouhaha d’une grande tablée réservée. L’attente était plutôt longue pour les plats. J’ai eu le temps de remarquer certains points, comme des toiles d’araignées entre nos verres. D’ailleurs on nous a servis et nous avons bu dans des verres ébréchés ( 1 verre à eau et 1 pour l’apéritif). Les plats étaient bien servis mais il manquait un peu de saveur.

(Translated by Google) An arrival without reservation we were received without any problem the team is top notch, caring, smiling and attentive. The restaurant offers a beautiful view of the Arcachon basin, the decoration is atypical and in terms of the meal NOTHING to say, it was excellent!!! Thank you, we will come back with pleasure ☺️ (Original) Une arrivée sans réservation nous avons été reçu sans aucun problème l'équipe est au top, bienveillante, souriante et à l'écoute. Le restaurant offre une très belle vue sur le bassin d'Arcachon, la décoration est atypique et niveau repas RIEN à dire c'était excellent !!! Merci nous reviendrons avec plaisir ☺️

(Translated by Google) Top notch service! The servers are incredibly friendly! Delicious dishes! Magnificent view of the pool indoors and on the terrace! (Original) Service au top ! Les serveurs sont d’une gentillesse incroyable ! Plats délicieux ! Vue magnifique sur le bassin en intérieur comme en terrasse !

(Translated by Google) A very nice setting with a beautiful view of the basin but the evening is spoiled by food that unfortunately does not delight our taste buds and pupils. Service is not up to par and above all the boss imposes on us on the edition more than 15€ supplement on a bottle of rosé because he did not serve us the tank that we had ordered and during the service we had reflected and we were confirmed that it was the same price! An anti-commercial attitude on the part of the manager who looked down on us! (Original) Un cadre très sympa avec une belle vue sur le bassin mais la soirée est gâchée par une nourriture qui ne régale pas nos papilles et pupilles malheureusement. Un service pas à la hauteur et surtout le patron nous impose sur la d’édition plus de 15€ de supplément sur une bouteille de rosé car il nous a pas servi la cuve que nous avions commandé et lors du service nous avions fait la réflexion et on nous avez bien confirmé que c’était le même prix ! Une attitude anti commercial de la part du responsable qui nous a pris de haut !

A small but very nice and clean park with excellent service. The staff were very freindly and helpful, the kids loved the rides, and loved feeding the animals. What a wonderful day out for the kids, its a must if you have young children and are visiting the area

Been here a few times now, the kids always insist on coming here every holiday. It's a great little theme park with a good selection of rides, the runaway mine train is a particular highlight. There are lots of animals to feed and pet, with many enclosures you are allowed to climb the fence and walk into with the animals. If you are English, all the green dot enclosures you are allowed to go into. Food and drink is reasonably priced and the park is very clean, highly recommended.

Great place to take your kids for some wonderful farm animal interaction. My two year old had the best time. The ticket was a bit pricey though for the overall experience considering the rides and games around the petting zoo were average at best.

Great day out. We've got a 6 year old girl and a 3 year old boy who both had a great time. Wasn't too busy given it was mid July. The kids got to feed the animals and even bottle feed a goat. The kids were allowed inside the animal pens too which was great. Plenty of places to hide from the sun and the splash park was a great way to cool down.... as was standing in the soak zone near the log flume! Staff were friendly, ice-creams weren't over priced but we did take a picnic (like everyone else). Price's weren't bad given we spent all day there either. Parking was a little limited but we eventually found a spot. We would definitely go back.

Note to British folk: this is the French equivalent to our Lightwater Valley 🥰 We visited today with our 3 girls aged 6, 9 and 10. Based purely on reviews for this and Kid Parc, we were leaning towards visiting Kid Parc, however when we parked up (the Parcs are next door to each other) the girls preferred the look of Coccinelle. Reviews generally said this Parc was more for toddlers however it is the girls family holiday and they call the shots 🤣 so into Coccinelle we went... Highlights: - log flume: bit of a supersoaker and my husband went on about 15 times 😂 this was his fave, couldn't get him off it. - train rollercoaster: the girls loved this and went on lots. - mini farm: kids spent ages in petting the animals- you are allowed in the little enclosures to pet the animals and this is not like the UK where that sort of thing is only allowed at set times and under close supervision with short time limits. You could spend as long as you wanted here. Fab. - queues very short: we were able to get right round the whole Parc numerous times and on every ride as many times as we wanted, which I had not expected given that it is still "peak time" - onsite snack bar: excellent value for money. We got sandwiches, burgers, sausages, fruit pots, drinks and ice creams. I was very impressed with the prices. - entry price for 5 of us was around €77, and worth every penny. - staff: very friendly and helpful. They were very kind when my poor attempt at French probably didn't make much sense 😂🙈 thank you!

Great for young children. Animals to see/pet and rides (included in the price!). 80cm min on most rides (although not always observed 😉). Good value too at around 13€ each - and enough to keep you busy/interested all day. Bring swimming trunks for the children as there is a small but we'll stocked water-park area.

Great place to let the kids unwind, especially if you're on a lengthy vacation. There is plenty to do for the whole day or a half day. Staff is nice and kids had a great time

I made sure I started my day with an hour long walk in the park before temperatures got too high. Avoid the paved areas and follow well worn footpaths through the trees. You might see deer and even boars. Good for runners and cyclists. No traffic fumes.

Liked it very much, but they should repair the bridge. It's not possible to switch sides and so the walk would be too long with small children. Otherwise it's very beautiful.

It's great and has a HUMUNGUS!! garage, a swimming pool, two two sized bed and a big and a Small sized TV

Nice place for a walk, just could spend nice time along the river

(Translated by Google) I rediscovered the Chêneraie park. I haven't been there since the work. There is a play area for children and a fitness trail. What I like about this park is that you don't feel like you're in the city. It's peaceful and rejuvenating. During my walk, I was accompanied by the song of birds and the sound of water. (Original) J'ai redécouvert le parc de la Chêneraie. Je n'y étais pas allée depuis les travaux. Il y a une aire de jeu pour les enfants et un parcours santé. Ce que j'aime dans ce parc, c'est qu'on n'a pas l'impression d'être en ville. C'est paisible et ressourçant. Durant ma balade, j'ai été accompagnée par le chant des oiseaux et le bruit de l'eau.

(Translated by Google) Extremely quiet for a park in the middle of the city. Very well maintained, plenty of trash cans and benches, wheelchair access without any problems. I recommend it. (Original) Extrêmement calme pour un parc en pleine ville. Très bien entretenu, nombreuses poubelles et bancs, accès avec fauteuil sans aucun problème. Je conseille

(Translated by Google) We came to the theater for our daughter's dance performance. At the entrance, the hostesses pushed us aside because the seat numbers we had didn't match the numbers in the theater. The director came over and told us that we had knowingly purchased the folding seats at the back of the theater, which were against the wall. This wasn't the case, because these seats were listed like the others on the map when we bought them. It seems perfectly logical to me that these seats are sold, okay, but at a discount! (Original) Nous sommes venus au théâtre pour le spectacle de danse de notre fille. À l’entrée, les hôtesses nous ont mis de côté car les numéros de siège que nous avions ne correspondaient pas à ceux de la salle. Le directeur est venu en nous disant que nous avions acheté les strapontins en fond de salle collés au mur en toute connaissance de cause. Ce qui n’était pas le cas, car ces sièges étaient notés comme les autres sur le plan quand nous avons acheté les places. Que ces sièges soient vendus ok mais avec réduction me semblerait tout à fait logique !

(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful theater. We had comfortable seats. The sound was good. We had a great time with the "Balé da cidade de São Paulo" 😍 (Original) C'est un très beau théâtre. Nous sommes bien assis. Le son était bon. Nous avons passé un très bon moment avec le "Balé da cidade de São Paulo 😍

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful theater, very easy to access despite the city center being so close... Friendly welcome. Very quick ticket collection for shows. (Original) Très beau théâtre, très facile d'accès malgré le centre ville tout proche... Accueil sympathique. Retrait des billets des spectacles très rapide.

(Translated by Google) Superb performance of "unknown at this address". The room itself, aesthetically speaking, is nothing exceptional, I mean. (Original) Superbe représentation de "inconnu à cette adresse". La salle quant à elle, n'a rien d'exceptionnel esthétiquement parlant j'entends.

I had a booking confirmed for 18:10 today, when I was struggling to find the flag at 17:45 I called and got some helpful instructions, made it to the flag to be told I'd missed my slot and I'd been sent a text, but I definitely hadn't been told this. I was really looking forward to this and had travelled a long way to be here, pretty upset :(

Despite being late to our appointment, the instructors took care of us in a very polite and professional manner, and gave us a great session for our team. Highly recommend!

Big thanks for the great tandem flight on the Dune For my wife. It was easy and very professional service. special the cost is not much compared with others on other regions.

Amazing experience, very kind guide.

Yannick was a great pilot and really showed us what is possible with just the power of the wind. If you want an adrenaline rush then give him a call.

Top!

Great taster for paragliding on the Dunes of Pilat! Yannick was a great instructor and would be happy to recommend :)

A great venue in the oak woods, serving delicious French food, using locally sourced ingredients. A controlled menu and wine list keeps the costs down but ensures high quality dishes. We are planning a second visit before we go home.

Great ambience, beautiful and lively outside area. Could be more attentive to details: broken glasses, dried salmon carpaccio (probably plattered for hours ago and kept in the frigde), dirty toilets, not seasoned meat and fish. Missing some magic to make justice to prices.

A bit over priced, service is slow, waited 15 minutes before order was taken and the kids were served after the parents even though we requested them to serve before us. But overall a nice place to eat.

Amazing food . Great atmosphere. Really busy for a Tuesday evening.

Pricey for the quality of the food. Good produce but cooking method really wasting all the quality. Good place to have oysters but very unhappy to pay 20 euro for a really dry and overcooked cep "rissoto". Overcooked pasta. Cod completely bland. For this price you should have a pleasant and enjoyable meal.

Great atmosphere, the fish plate was delicious, a place to return

You have very limited options for Halal food, just the salad 🥗

Food is excellent there, but waiting can be quite long. Everything was extremely savory with a good mix of asian and Aquitaine specialities. Maybe less salt would be most welcomed because sometimes the salt was more overwhelming than the different condiments used. But overall, we were all extremely happy of the food!

First off, the food was tasty. However, there were certain complications due to technical problems in the kitchen. We waited nearly 1h30 for the appetizers and 2h for the main dish. The duck and the rice were cold. The pork dish for 36 euros was a bit disappointing for the price. They didn't have the full choice of desserts and the chocolate tart was tiny 13 euros. All in all it was decent, but rather slow and overpiced, also considering the hype around the place.

Asia food lovers and those which want try extra good asian food should go, we had just the dim sum and it was extremly good, they speak perfect english and the service is lovely, thanks was a great evening

Misleading photos of food and menu on Google - so don’t expect those exact dishes. The food was tasty, however the portion size of the beef cube dish was small, with a plain salad bed. The dim sum was very good (10 pieces and two sauces to try). We cannot speak for the other dishes, but overall the portion sizes should be a little bigger considering the high prices.

Absolutely delicious and very friendly service. She gave us a sake for free and even offered to lend us an umbrella when we left in the rain. I can't recommend this place more. I wish we lived in Arcachon so we could go back soon, but we will definitely be back next time! Highly highly recommend.

Not friendly with non francophone, I don't speak french only little Refused to sell a bottle of sake , but were ok to charge 6.50 per each tiny shoot of sake ... "verts @ 50ml" Although still open serving customers they refused to serve me. I ONLY STOPED HERE BCUZ MY FRIEND WANTED TO EAT... I DONT EAT ASIAN FOOD WHEN IN EUROPE. NEVER EVER RETURN AND WILL DISPUTE SOME CHARGES...

It's disappointing when a restaurant has great potential, but fails in a couple of essential matters. First it tok ages to get the food. After 90 minutes we were still waiting for the main courses. Understandably they had a completely new menu, but more or less all tables had to wait a very long time. The Dim Sum shared starter was very good, and so was our two different porc main courses. But it was much to little on our plates! When you get three very small porc medallions (perhaps 90-100 grammes of meat...) one pac choy and two small pieces of carrot (and a bowl of rice) and you pay 25 Euros, you end up not satisfied, still hungry and feel a bit cheated, to be honest. We told this to our waitress, who had no suggestion at all to make us more satisfied. It's not good enough, really, and if they continue like this it will make their very good rating fall like a sack of potatoes in a short time.

Quick service, well priced but food wasn’t great. Wish there were more vegetarian options

The food was great, and the place looks really nice! The service can be improved,

Was looking forward to visiting here but a little disappointed with the quality of the cakes not what I would expect from a French bakery, we also brought 2 chicken sandwiches which were very nice and we both enjoyed the sandwiches just not the cakes

Amazingly fresh pastry! We had breakfast there and it was very delicious and freshly made for fair prices. Also very comfy sitting there for a while. Just a little bit more patience for people who have problem to pronounce french pastry - maybe you could repeat, so they are able to learn 😉.

Morning hours (8-9h): tasty French pastry and coffee. Fair price, friendly staff, clean tables.

A wide variety of pizza, sandwich and breads, as well as bakery (tart, quiche, pain au chocolat, croissants, etc) which taste great. They often have interesting promotions. A great place to go for lunch or a quick bite. Like many other places that offer lunch at good prices, the place is often crowded during lunch time.

Donut peaches sold here is way nicer and bigger than other places!

Restaurant la corniche: Worst possible service. We ve been unwelcomed by a lady who proposed us a table on the 2nd row table. As there were many tables available on the 1st row and it was nice to face the ocean directly, we asked for one of those. She said it was not ready yet because some guest just left. We said we didn’t mind waiting. She came back and said it wasn’t possible because no waiter were available to put the plates on the table. As our table was dully dressed, we said we didn’t mind carrying the plate to this table. Then she came up with another excuse saying each waiter were assigned a table row and we had to be served by a specific waiter. It was all very ridiculous how adamant she was on not pleasing us as client. Then we realised there were 1 fully dressed table available on the first row( 4 tables undressed and 1 table dressed: total 5 tables available) .When showing her that one, we thought she will finally be accommodating but No. she then said that 1st row table are only for hotel guest. Since it was 22h00 and already 15 mn discussion with her we advised her that at that rimes there won’t be be suddenly 10 guests of the hotel showing up and specifically asking for those table. At loss of arguments she then call a waiter, also quite rude who asked “ what s going on. Upon explaining the situation he said it would be too complicated for him to serve us at one of these tables because he will have to cross the room. We then proposed that if a waiter on that side could serve us, it would be easier for everyone. At the end he just became all red , boiling and shouting “well fine i will cross the room then! “ What an awful atmosphere and how unhelpful and unprofessional those people are. At the end we lost 15mn talk for no reason. There were plenty of full table around us with many waiters but it all sound very complicated for them to just be nice!! Obviously they must have spit in our plates but well we had a nice view. When i asked for 2 extra pieces of bread for the oysters they said they have none! At that stage we knew they wouldn’t help for anything. We stayed at this hotel before so we just came back for the view. We knew The food was no better than a simple coffee place in town but quite expensive regarding the poor choice/quality. Go there only for the view because the food is plain and the service is the worst! No manager visible the whole time and while we were sitting we could hear another waitress moaning and complaining her feet hurts and another one saying he was dying to go home. This was just in June. So good luck for anyone who will experience the most horrible service in july or august

High end hotel with an excellent, quite boujee restaurant but definitely worth the hype. Its a huge restaurant and huge operation but the service was generally pretty great. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. We came here in August for dinner. Great views and great vibes. We were there on a Saturday night and there was a DJ and party vibes. Food was excellent - we had some delicious oysters, amazing seafood and very good steaks. Extensive wine selection and great cocktails.

We had lunch on the terrace, and the setting was absolutely spectacular. The valet was attentive and kind, and our waiter provided excellent service. Unfortunately, the lobster was a major disappointment — it had an unmistakable taste of mud, mold, and air freshener (seriously). When we mentioned this to our server, she laughed it off, but not long after, the couple dining beside us complained about the exact same thing. For the view alone, we would consider coming back, but at such steep prices, it’s a real shame to leave the lobster untouched on the plate.

Stopped over for lunch only, wow, me of best views we ever seen! The dunes by the water are impressive! Service was great, we had a reservation but there were plenty of tables. Staff very nice! It’s an upscale place but very welcoming to people like us wearing flip flops.

Stopped here for drinks while cycling from Arcachon. We were met with such friendly staff and given wonderful comfy couch with amazing view of the dunes and the ocean. Food menu was reasonably priced (lunch). Location is fantastic! Visit!! Just visit for the view is nothing else!

An absolutely breathtaking spot especially at dawn with a view of sunset over the Arcachon bay. Bar and tapas are great with a cool South Western France feel. The restaurant is a great spot too but the service ruins the whole experience. After having excessively been pushing for the most expensive dishes, our waiter brought us our starters (ceviche) without coco sauce and arrogantly claimed that we were ignorant as this was how they should be cooked (contrary to what was on the menu). He never apologized after being proved wrong and completely ignored us thereafter. Such a shame given the beautiful place we were in. Not sure we will ever visit that place again (unfortunately)...

Go for the view which is amazing , the lovely position, the atmosphere and the service in the restaurant. We had a super night but I would go less for the food - which is expensive and ok but nothing special. But everything else makes it worth it.

The ambience of the garden is charming and very inviting. Unfortunately the food didn't deliver. Childrens menu: chicken nuggets and pommes was not tasty at all. Vegetarian salad was without taste and the meat was hard. Still had a nice evening, but would look further.

Very cute garden, fancy indoors, creative dishes, and the recommended wine was perfect. Price is also very low for the quality you get and the ambiance.

The place atmosphere is really great. They do not have a lot of vegan options. The proteins portions are too small... Please consider that some athletic person are also vegan. More options like tempeh, seitan, meat alternative would be welcome to adapt the other dishes vegan. The drinks are amazing :)

Great, can’t wait to come back. Great patio, great service. Caesar Salad was top notch.

Nice location, food ok, but tiny, tiny portion size…. Not much for kids. I’d say not really for families, they were grumpy as we didn’t have wine. Then also no desert due to not wanting to waste more money.

The food seems to be a bit overrated, and lack in flavor. The outdoor table was great though on a sunny day, as it was green and a bit homy, so the ambience was nice. The service was alright.

Vegetarian salad without any taste. Prices for the small portions too high. Package of chips for 7euros. All in all I can’t recommend this place, food wasn’t worth it.

Reasonable priced beef. High quality stuff with good quality services.

incredible place for meat lovers, we traveled from Arcachon yesterday and here we are again today!!

This place is amazing! We had such a great lunch with wine and delicious Pata Negra. Stuff is super sweet and welcoming 🥰 love it and coming back on Wednesday, as on Mondays and Tuesdays they are closed :)

Fabulous!!!

Excellent

Nice quiet restaurant when I visited at the opening hours. I was told they get really packed during meal hours and late evenings.

(Translated by Google) For those who love matured meat, exceptional cuts. A truly delicious experience for our taste buds. The staff is very pleasant, professional, and very friendly. Go there with your eyes closed; you won't regret it! It's a must-visit. (Original) Pour les gourmands de viande maturée, des pièces d'exception. Un grand moment de délice gustatif pour nos papilles. Personnel est très agréable, professionnel et très aimable. Allez-y les yeux fermés vous ne le regretterez pas ! c'est une adresse incontournable.

The food is excellent but the atmosphere and the service doesn’t feel very welcoming for non French speakers. We asked for water 5 times and we got the food almost after 40min waiting - it took ages to take our order, other French guests were prioritized ahead of us. For that price, you would expect more from the Service but the chef is fantastic and food was very good.

I wish I can give them 7/5… great gastronomy

Summary: - Ambience: very quiet and no music, left a fairly awkward environment. - Staff service: for the price you pay wasn’t what I would expect. Potentially as we were English we received less attention? - Food: 50/50, we received some lovely free salmon starters and the veal main was delicious but the meat was quite tough, not what €35 should be. Friends had the filet mignon and it was far below average, neither cooked to their requirement and also very tough and full of sinew. Overall I wouldn’t return considering the price point.

Amazing set menu from start to finish! Lovely atmosphere, recommended wine was delicious and food was top notch. If you had to visit one restaurant in this area this would be a very good choice.

Amazing food, we enjoyed almost every single dish, it is a great place to spend a good time in a date.

Fantastic French restaurant!!!

Excellent restaurant

The parking is big, the toilets are managed well. The employees are friendly. But the food options are really limited compared to other macdonalds. There is no vegetarian, vegan, or fish options, and even a lot of snacks are not available.

My critical part, the staff was friendly. It was so hot and mcdo was the escape place for us. The meat was so nice in the burger as it is always true for mcdo in France. Instead of standart menus I recommend you to try always signature menus. Then you will not regret.

Very clean, great service and the staff is polite. It's a shame the music was all swear words. The staff seemed to think it was ok.

the pending order is more than 20 minutes. as a result, half of the order was not packed, there is no sauce

Nice. They opened the door for us even though they were still cleaning to sell us our breakfast. Nice people there.

Good service and nice food. No tomato ketchup though 🤣

Bon Fast-food
