The Restaurant

On the Plage de la Concurrence in La Rochelle, Christopher Coutanceau presents a deeply personal ode to the ocean. As a "fisherman-chef," Coutanceau carries on a family legacy, advocating for sustainable fishing practices and minimal waste. His cuisine reflects these convictions, offering a bouquet of marine flavors. The restaurant earned two Michelin stars for its excellent cooking. Premium fish and seafood, like turbot and sea urchins, are prepared with the same care and imagination as humble mackerel and sardines. The dining room offers panoramic views of the bay, enhancing the immersive experience. The restaurant is part of a trio of epicurean destinations, including La Yole de Chris, a marine bistro, and Villa Grand Voile, an intimate Relais & Châteaux hotel.
