Hospitable Arcachon offers tourists many places that will suit both a simple snack and a gourmet candlelit dinner.
The main course in most places in Arcachon is the famous Arcachon oysters. They are served everywhere from elite restaurants in the city center to fishing huts in the village of Güjan Mestras. Most of the high-end establishments are located in the waterfront area. Among the most famous restaurants is the upmarket La Calypso, which serves flounder stewed with crabmeat and duck baked in honey.
One of Arkashon's most popular and inexpensive restaurants is called Yvette's. You won't be able to pass this place while strolling through the city center. The picturesque window with lobsters and crabs will catch even the most indifferent person to fish delicacies. Besides the freshest sea products you will be served delicious homemade desserts. Prices in Arkashon restaurants are more than democratic. For example, the specialty dessert - pineapples with honey and mascarpone costs here only 8 EUR, as well as strawberries on a crispy openwork waffle with ice cream. We recommend trying the lobster with spicy sauce and the monkfish kebab. The weekly lunch menu at this restaurant has a fixed price of 28 EUR.
Restaurants serving traditional seafood dishes are widespread in Arcachon. There are also numerous pizzerias, pastry shops and cafes. We advise you to visit one of the best cafes in Arkashon - pancake house "Season 2". Delicious openwork pancakes - crepes with jam or sweet cheese sauce will be a worthy competitor to the famous oysters. The cafe's disco-style interior, dishes with the names of famous TV series and famous movie stars will leave an even more pleasant impression of the institution.
The prices in the cafes of Arcachon - 15-20 EUR for lunch won't really lighten your wallet.
According to tourists' reviews, service in Arkashon restaurants starts from 12 o'clock. If you want to have lunch in a relaxed atmosphere, we advise you to come closer to three o'clock in the afternoon. Dinner time comes at 7 pm. The waiters in most restaurants will help you with the choice of dishes and even teach you how to eat sea delicacies.
