With its vast, unspoiled spaces, the region offers even more varied panoramas of the ocean, estuaries, and marshes. We have selected charming places where you can enjoy the culinary specialties local with a amazing views. All the ingredients are there to have a good time with family or friends.

Restaurants with sea view
View of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gironde estuary
The territory stretches over 100 km of coastline along the Atlantic Ocean and the Gironde estuary. Royan Atlantique therefore has some beautiful spots for lunch or dinner with sea view ! Fish from the catch of the day, homemade dishes from local products, we enjoy a bistronomic cuisine land and sea decorated with charentais wines Of course. So, ready for a gourmet getaway?
First, the many coves of the seaside resorts are dream places to combine the pleasures of the beach and the taste buds. We sit on the terrace, we look at the horizon, the passing boats. From starter to dessert, let yourself be carried away by the lapping of the waves. On the beaches La Grande Conche, Les Nonnes or Suzac, you almost eat with your feet in the sand! Like a little taste from elsewhere...
view of the island of oléron
Furthermore, in the north of the territory, in Ronce-les-Bains, you have to watch the tide times to book your meal at the restaurant: ideally at high tide! You will then benefit from a view of the pertuis de Maumusson with the island of Oléron in background. At sunset, the spectacle is even more striking.
Restaurants with a view of the Seudre marshes and the oyster beds
From Saujon to La Tremblade, Royan Atlantique is bordered by the Seudre estuary. Along its shore, you will find typical villages with small oyster ports. The clear ones which one observes are used for the refining of the famous Marennes-Oléron oysters. A stay in Royan is also an opportunity to discover local gastronomy and local products. Here, we give pride of place to seafood platters, mussels and fries in all sauces, fresh or hot oysters, and of course "terrée" more commonly called "burst".
We discover restaurants and cabins with unusual settings, in the heart of the oyster basin. At the table, we never tire of admiring the play of light on the claires. Indeed, their colors change from turquoise to orange depending on the sun. We can even see the reflection of the clouds! And above all, it is the ambient calm that soothes us. We are far from the crowds, closer to nature. What better way to fully appreciate the taste of seafood? Let's go for a seaside experience!
Restaurants with a view in the countryside
Far from the hustle and bustle of the coast, a little further inland, these restaurants invite us to enjoy quality cuisine in a authentic atmosphere. In the middle of the vines of Pineau and Cognac, the restaurant Le Presbytère welcomes us in the countryside in a timeless place, a 17th century building.

By the river, there are also two old mills converted into restaurants. Lulled by the sound of water, they offer a privileged setting for a refreshing break.
Finally, for a more unusual experience, climb aboard the Seudre Océan Express. You will enjoy a refined meal while watching the landscapes of the Seudre estuary unfold before our eyes. These are good addresses if you are looking for a picturesque place to enjoy delicious dishes in complete tranquility.
Whether you're on a beach vacation or simply looking to escape the daily grind, a meal at a restaurant overlooking our region's stunning landscapes can provide a memorable culinary experience.
