Among the iconic establishments of La Baule, where a modest lunch/dinner will cost 40–60 EUR per person, it is worth visiting:
Castel Marie Louise. The restaurant is considered one of the best in the region, largely thanks to its chef. Its “signature” lies in innovative approaches to preparing traditional dishes, mostly seafood-based.
L'Eden Beach (next to the Hôtel Hermitage, with direct sea access). What could be better than a refined dish, a glass of wine, and the gentle whisper of the sea?
Le Billot (city center) will delight you with an extensive wine list, exquisite foie gras, and an unforgettable homemade yogurt.
La Rotonde (Royal Hotel). Its haute cuisine, mainly consisting of diet-friendly dishes, has been awarded a Michelin star. Artistic presentations, new flavors, the harmony of centuries-old traditions and bold experiments (such as scallop carpaccio) have kept this restaurant in La Baule’s Top 5 for several years.
Keep in mind that usually after 2:00 PM most restaurants in La Baule stop serving guests. The kitchen closes firmly, and the next meal for the French is around 8:00 PM, so dinner service begins closer to that time. Therefore, in the meantime, you can only grab a bite in inexpensive cafés.
