Entre le 5 et le 11 août, avec mon épouse nous sommes allés au Saint Saveur. Puis nous sommes retournés... Puis, nous sommes re-re-tournés ! ! ! Du coup, on a pu apprécier de nombreux plats proposés par le Saint Saveur. Sincèrement c'est top. C'est beau et bon. Et puis c'est serein par rapport aux restos du port où, il faut l'avouer, c'est souvent bruyant.Il faut vraiment s'évader du port... Merci au cuisinier du Saint Sauveur et à la jeune femme qui nous accueille.

Stopped by for a dessert, just a bit over the service time but they have not made huge problems like other places nearby.This seems to be a pub mostly, but they definitely serve did, and judging from the way the presented my dessert, they sound be fairly good.Just a bit overpriced, but we are still in an island.

We visited with friends on a perfect June Monday, but didn't have a reservation. We were lucky because it was already quite full but we were fairly early having taken the 0930 ferry from St Gilles, checked into our hotel and rented an electric car. The following day we cycled here but were not so lucky. They don't seem to serve drinks if you don't eat. I had Patogos (large clams served rather like mussels) with frites. They were delicious washed down with half a litre of Pression. The Bar is situated on one of the prettiest harbours on the island. No ferries, only fishing, diving and pleasure boats. It is about half way along the south westerly coast of the island, and must experience some severe winter storms facing to its nearest landfall in the Caribbean. We were lucky with the weather as there had been light northerly winds for a few weeks. There is no pollution on this rocky coast so the blue ocean water was as clear as the Caribbean. Wet suited free divers complete with spear guns often operate here. Obviously you can eat inside in bad weather. We will bring our snorkelling gear in September when the water should be a few degrees warmer than its current 13 degrees, air temperature was 26 degrees. Service was good and cheerful. On the right day this is a wonderful place, and probably on other days too. The Bar is situated about half an hours walk from the Medieval Vieux Chateau, a must see on the island.

This restaurant serves crepes, both savoury and dessert. It is set on a picturesque Vendee road, a short walk from the quay of Le Meule on the Ile d'Yeu. Reservation for meal times is essential. The welcome is genuine, in spite of the numbers crowding in and the damp state of those who had been swimming. The menu is extensive. It took some time to translate the ingredients of each galette, and equally as long to make one's choice. The accompanying salads were crisp and fresh and natural. The galette comprised a square savoury crepe, filled with ground meat with supporting ingredients, and in most cases, a green salad. Vegetarians are catered for by the Chef's Salad and other concoctions. The galettes were delicious, and not too large to blunt the appetite for the sweet crepes that followed. The dessert crepes were mainly fruit based. The Martiniquaise came with a layer of split almonds and two scoops of creme fraiche. The two dishes averaged E17 per person, a reasonable cost for a filling meal. Service was prompt and pleasant, with grandchildren receiving patient care. Speaking of grandchildren, the toilet cubicles were meticulously clean despite the large numbers using them. Le Vagabond is a great place to savour local food after a morning exploring this area.

With my wife and two friends we cycled around half the island, couldn't get a drink at one bar (serving meals) got a beer in a bar at St Sauveur, but by the time we got back to Port Joinville we were ready for a large plate of Moules Frites. That is what we found at Le Malougo on the north end of the Harbour front. One of the biggest bowls ever. Good service, good ambience and location. Modest bill. By the time we had finished we were ready to collect our bags from our hotel and laze in the pleasant sunshine overlooking the harbour till our ferry arrived. Well recommended restaurant.
4. Les Bafouettes

We had lunch there in June 2011 during a stay in which we tried different restaurants in l'Ile d'Yeu. Les Bafouettes was by far the best one.First, this is not a tourist-focused restaurant: locals do eat there too. As the restaurant is not located on the harbour itself (but in a quiet and tiny street a few meters above), it is very quiet. No sea view but the dining room is well decorated and comfortable. A few guests can also eat on a small terrace opened on the street.Second, the chef uses locally produced fish, seafood, meat and vegetables. No industrial or canned/frozen inputs here but authentic food from the country (Challans duck, Atlantic lobster, etc.). Meals are very creative: in some of them the chef mixes a lot of flavours (may be too many sometimes?). We enjoyed the mushroom and snail pie (do not be afraid: there are more classic starter options such as the salmon and orange carpaccio), the berry sauced pigeon, the vanilla fish, and the fruity desserts.Third, all this is very reasonnably priced (we took the cheapest regular menu at 28⬠; there is a three-course lunch only menu at 16⬠which seems good too -our neighbours took it so we had a glimpse on their plates!- but with more basic and classic items). Wines are rather cheap compared to similar quality restaurants, with a selection of local (Loire valley and Vendée) wineries which is a big plus too. Anyway, we prefered a nice Burgundy white wine and took a half bottle of Meursault for 30â¬. Wine is also sold by the glass which is a convenient option.Fourth, service is friendly, efficient, fast and smily. No 3 Michelin star luxury of course (and tables are rather close to each other), but more a family like service since the chef's'wife and son (the sommelier) work in the dining room. Reservation was friendly and easy too.We had a very good time there so I recommend eating here when visiting the Ile d'Yeu. So much more quality and authenticity than the tourist traps we also tried, especially on the harbour.We do not think the restaurant has a web site yet but you can walk by there during your stay and have a look at the detailed menus in the street (as everywhere in France) to know more about food and wine offered.

All four of us really enjoyed our dishes. All the fish was very fresh tasting. We had hake and sardines, though it was felt that the sardines and chips would have been enhanced with the addition of a salad. We would recommend the Tiramisu for dessert.

Service is a bit slow. Sizes are decent. Colesaw lacked taste. Fries could be better.Meat burger itself tasted ok. Vegetarian burger was greasy and tasteless.I think there's room for improvement, so may try it again next time I'm in the area.

This brilliant restaurant is amazing. Take away to eat at home or somewhere else or sit in, but either way the food is cooked to perfection. Muscles and other sea food delecassies are on offer with super nice sugary or salty crepes. A friendly group of waiters and cooks make you feel relaxed and happy as ordering is easy and quick.
