La Rochelle Restaurants

  1. André

    A legend in its own time, this place first opened in the 1950s as a small seafood café; as its popularity grew, André began buying adjacent shops. There's now a maze of interconnecting rooms, each with its own individual ambience like a port-holed cabin but all with the same menu of fish caught the night before. Many people swear it's the best seafood restaurant in France. And they may just be right.

  2. Café de la Paix

    A visual feast as much as a dining one, this belle époque brasserie-bar serves up traditional cuisine including beef, duck, foie gras and fish, as well as bountiful breakfasts and afternoon teas amid the splendour of soaring, lavishly painted ceilings and gold-edged arched mirrors.
