Brasserie des Anges

Brasserie des Anges (often called "Brasserie des Anges de la Grande Côte") is an iconic address in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer, located at the end of the famous Grande Côte beach.
This is an establishment that has recently undergone a complete renovation (formerly known as Restaurant de la Grande Côte) to offer a more modern setting while retaining its major asset: a spectacular view.
Here is a detailed description of what you will find there:
1. An exceptional 180° setting
The location is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful on the Côte de Beauté. Perched on the rocks, the brasserie offers:
• A panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean and the mouth of the Gironde Estuary.
• Facing the Cordouan Lighthouse, which can be admired directly from the room or the terraces.
• Three furnished terraces, sheltered from the wind or sunny depending on the weather, ideal for a seafood lunch or a cocktail at sunset.
2. The atmosphere and style
The atmosphere is that of a contemporary and welcoming brasserie. The interior has been completely restored to create a bright and airy ambiance, blending elegance and simplicity. It's a place that's equally suitable for:
• For families (children's menu available).
• For groups of friends strolling on the coastal path or the cycle path.
• For more romantic dinners when the lights of the lighthouse begin to sweep across the horizon.
3. The cuisine: Between land and sea
The menu showcases local produce and regional classics. It includes, among other things:
°Extra thin wood-fired pizzas.
° Seafood must-haves: Seafood platters, mussels and fries (very popular in season), seafood sauerkraut or grilled fish.
° On the land side: Cuts of meat (such as matured ribeye steak, homemade burgers) and generous mixed salads.
° Sweets: Traditional brasserie desserts and ice cream for sunny afternoons.
4. Practical Information
• Address: 181 Avenue de la Grande Côte, 17420 Saint-Palais-sur-Mer.
• Opening period: Generally open from February to mid-November (with a 7/7 service during the peak summer season).
• Budget: Expect to pay around €25 to €40 for a full menu, with more affordable options on the menu (mussels around €15-18).
Tip: As the establishment is very popular for its view, it is highly recommended to reserve a table at the edge of the terrace or near the bay windows if you wish to fully enjoy the panorama of Cordouan.
