Le Louis XIII

Reviewed By Linda N

We stayed in Challans for a week in what turned out to be a disappointing hotel. Fortunately on our first evening we chose to eat at Le Louis XIII. The restaurant is an auberge which dates from 1580 and the atmosphere is very pleasant.The staff were welcoming and helpful and the service was very good. The food was delicious with good portions, beautifully prepared and presented. Although we tried other places, this was our favourite and we returned twice more. The restaurant is also a crêperie so that adds to the choice of meals on offer. A three course meal for 2 with half a litre of the house wine came to about £46 - excellent value for the quality. I would love to go back!

Le Gourmandin

Reviewed By united33

We visit this restaurant whenever we can. The locally sourced food is always very well cooked and presented. There are two main menus which are wide enough to offer choice but small enough to ensure they are well prepared and the ingredient are fresh.The amuse bouche are always interesting.The owners are happy to enthusiastically discuss their winse in English or of course French and will serve by the glass which is a help for drivers and couple who cannot agree!There is a special lunch time menu which is quite a bit cheaper. Market day Tuesday needs a reservation.

Au P'tit Bouchon

Reviewed By Jimmysboy

My wife and I visited with 2 friends for lunch in July 2013. Useful location 3 minutes walk from the bustling market. 3 excellent courses including a large buffet to start with, drinks and coffee came to about 60 euros between us. Excellent service, comfortable friendly ambience, well prepared dishes. The restaurant was full but the bonus and recommendation was that all the other guests were French.

Creperie Yole Rouge

Reviewed By camouch

We had dinner at Crêperie Yole Rouge with galettes and crêpes. Everything was perfect: the service was very friendly and efficient. The menu was just right with sufficient but not overwhelming amount of choice. The galettes and crepes were delicious. I warmly recommend this place if you are looking for a fast and affordable but nice meal!

Tapas Bar in the evening, French traditional meals at lunchtime. We went in the evening, and had a Tapas menu at 18€ each (without drinks), but you can choose individual plates - we just didnt know what to choose, so went for the plate with everything on it ... Excellent value for money, I didnt leave feeling hungry, and I do enjoy my food. I would really recommend searching this restaurant out.I haven't tried the lunch time menu yet, but I think that I will be looking for a reason to go there very soon.Hi!Thanks a lot for your positive comment about us. We wish to see you soon for the lunch time menu! We would be happy to talk in English!La Romazière

Reviewed By Penelope R

Always a choice of fish or meat as the main course on the set menu. The oysters (6) as a starter were delicious. Lamb shank was oh so tender and the pear poached in curacao was a delight - see photo. We ate dinner here for a week whilst staying in the Hotel Atlantic and each meal was a delight. We could have chosen from the A La Carte but the set menu was always tempting enough! The staff were attentive and even when the restaurant was busy, the service was always fluid. The chef was willing to cope with variations such as having potatoes instead of rice. We were also able to keep our bottle of wine from one evening to the next. Vegetarians options are available.
