5 of us stopped here on a bike ride for some lunch. You have to order oysters (a legal thing), and we also enjoyed the prawns and sea snails. The view was lovely! Great pitstop.

Our B&B host in Bordeaux recommended we visit it. And we weren't disappointed - nice to cycle out here. We had various oysters, the prawn and some rosé. Lovely to sit out there with a view of the dunes in the distance accross. Friendly host, and chill atmosphere. Can recommend!

Wonderful place for a light meal or snack. We had the oysters, bulots, shrimps and paté. All were excellent! The waitress was very kind. The views over the Bassin d'Arcachon and the Dune du Pila were wonderful too. Last but not least, the prices are very reasonable... 5/5 ⭐ We were only a bit disappointed that there was no red wine (which my friend prefers) but we were told this is because of a "décret départemental" forbidding the sale of red wine and more variety of dishes... "Vive la France", country of Freedom, with more laws about everything than anywhere else...

This is amazing. Honestly see below Came to CapFeret for a day. Walked along the front and when you get away from the tourist trap at the boat harbour you end up here. It’s incredible. Oysters were so fresh and washed Down with done good French wine. Probably the best value and tasting food we had in our whole stay in France. Cant recommend enough. 10/10

Great spot for local oyster tasting! I arrived on a rainy day, quite late, and was the only customer. The host was incredibly friendly and took the time to talk about the different oysters and their harvesting processes. I will definitely return on my next visit!

A must-visit for aficionados of local oyster delights! It was a rainy day but we enjoyed spectacular oysters and wine on the terrace. €17 for 6 delicious oysters and 2 glasses of wine. And we bought some for our dinner. The gracious lady generously shared insights into the various oysters and their meticulous harvesting techniques. They are open from 11:30 for degustación, but to buy away you can more early. This spot is firmly on my list for a return visit!
