Les Viviers Charentais

Les Viviers Charentais: The seafood specialist since 1977!
A historic institution on the Côte de Beauté
Anchored on the beach of Grande Côte in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer, a few minutes from Royan, this address has built a solid reputation.

Artisanal expertise and signature baking
The identity of Viviers Charentais rests on precise, artisanal techniques, particularly in the preparation of cooked products. The company is renowned for its spiced court-bouillon, a secret recipe that gives whelks, prawns, and langoustines a unique and robust flavor. This expertise attracts a clientele of seafood lovers eager to rediscover the authentic taste of these products.

Takeaway and custom-made seafood platters
Boasting an impressive display counter over 20 meters long, the establishment offers a diverse selection of seafood to take away. Customers are free to create their own seafood platters according to their preferences, whether for a festive meal at home or a salty picnic on the coastal cliffs. The wide variety of offerings, ranging from Marennes Oléron oysters and brown crabs to Charron mussels and other shellfish and crustaceans, guarantees a suitable option for every occasion.

On-site tasting and a festive, casual atmosphere
For those wishing to extend the experience, an on-site seafood tasting area welcomes visitors in a convivial atmosphere reminiscent of seaside taverns. The terraces, offering panoramic views of the ocean and the majestic Cordouan lighthouse, provide an ideal setting to savor a dozen oysters or the famous homemade seafood paella. This signature dish, generous and fragrant, has become a must-try at the seaside resort over the years.

New: Grilled Lobster is back every evening from 18:30pm, for takeaway or to eat in!

Events and private hire with your feet in the sand
Beyond its restaurant services, the establishment offers private event bookings for groups. Whether it's a business event, a birthday, or a family gathering, the venue allows you to host your guests in an exceptional natural setting. This unique location overlooking the Atlantic Ocean provides a memorable atmosphere for any celebration in the heart of the Royan region.

Les Viviers Charentais – the taste of the ocean, quite simply.
