A La Peche Aux Moules

This was an unexpected find on our visit to Ile D'Oleron at Le Chateau...what a treat. A La Peche Aux Moules at Le Port is a winner. No fuss, well organised, a great spot and a great lunch of moules. This was the highlight of our day out. What a well oiled little restaurant with a delightful lunch of mussels...sorry moules !!!

I know there are at least 2 Michelin-starred restaurants on the island but you can keep them; this is my idea of perfect. The moules were fresh and deliciously tasty, the frites were the better than at home (and my local has won national awards) and the location is just glorious. I highly recommend the Fort Boyard Ambree and of course the artisinal ice cream to finish!

Very simple menu they just serve moules 8 ways something there to please everyone. Simple arrangement you choose how you want your moules and your drink, water is available on the counter, you pay, sit down and wait for your name to be called to ho and collect your food. Nothing complicated but boy does it work well. Great ambience very lovely staff.

We arrived on ile d’Oleron and drove to Le Chateau d’Oleron. We saw the shellfish huts and decided to stop. We picked A la Peche Aux Moules. A great choice of restaurant and what a great selection of Moules frites. We went for the Caribbean and Mexican style. Delicious! We’d recommend this restaurant whether or not you have newly arrived.
