The venue is cool, decor in keeping with its origin and on hot days the stone structure is forgiving. Expensive but worth it for a treat.

From the impeccable, friendly, bilingual staff to the spot on cognac cocktails and wine to the fresh unending piles of seafood, this restaurant was outstanding. I came with a large group of about 10 people and we had a gorgeous table all set out for us along the windows overlooking the river. It was evening but surely during the day this view -and same from the tables from the patio- are stunning. We had foie gras, salad, and various entree dishes before the seafood platters arrived. Not knowing what we were in for, we all gorged everything. Then they came... these massive platters of what must have been 10lbs of seafood each. Langoustines, crabs, small fried shrimp, large prawns, cockles, clams, and more. It was truly a sight to see! Three of these platters were ordered for the table and though we did as much damage as we could, there was just no way to finish it all. But we sure did try! I can't wait to visit Cognac again and will absolutely never make my way back to the region without stopping in here for the best seafood platters ever.
