Chez Brume
Brume is a rather chic fish restaurant on a small pedestrian street that leads to Place de la Parcheminerie.

L’Embarcadère
Located close to the station, embark here immediately to try wild fish and crustaceans. The seafood at L’Embarcadère is prepared on a plancha grill and sourced from local catches, meaning that it changes with the seasons and tides. Among the specialties are generous parillada grilled dishes and the unmissable seafood platters. Feel the ocean spray as soon as you leave the train!

Le Iodé
This delightful little oyster bar on Place des Lices offers oyster specialties to enjoy either dining in or at home, both equally excellent. Enjoy local oysters from Cancale and Blainville-sur-Mer with a good glass of white wine, Muscadet or Sancerre, and expert recommendations from a family of oyster farmers. As a bonus point, on Saturday morning, the south-facing terrace has a clear view of the hustle and bustle at the fish market at the Marché des Lices.

Les Pêcheurs
This is the place to be for fans of fish, seafood and shellfish. Just a couple of steps away from the station, the ambiance is palpable from the entrance – at the fish stall where you can choose from the fish that have been freshly caught depending on the deliveries or at the tank with the famous blue lobsters or the crabs. All you have to do is ask for what you would like and the chef and their team will take care of the rest. Seafood platters are also on the menu (available to take away). Inside, the patio that opens onto the outside in pleasant weather provides a lovely breath of fresh air.
