I think this was my favorite beach experience, ever! I'm not really a beach person. I rarely go to…read morelocal beaches at home because I'm not into tanning nor do I own an umbrella to sit and read a book, and I'd rather swim in a pool. But this place, this was my favorite! As the biggest dune in Europe, it's definitely worth a visit! You get a workout in trekking up and down the dune, not once but twice when you have to do it again to leave, and get to see the beautiful view of the bay and dip in the frigid water as a reward for finally making it to the beach, possibly dripping sweat on the way there. So glad we made it. It was probably at least 45 minutes to an hour from when we left the beach to when we got to the car. The stairs going up make it a bit easier than hiking up the dune from the beach when you're heading out. There is nothing on the beach so definitely bring snacks and water, but don't bring anything unnecessary since you have to carry it all making the climb a little more difficult! Go, enjoy! It was fabulous and I'm so glad we had a beach day when it was in the 80s (Fahrenheit of course). It was a bit crowded but we did go on the weekend when the weather was the most appropriate for the beach. I was also very glad I bought a hat and used the restroom before starting up the stairs and heading to the beach. There's ice cream, food, wine and souvenirs available for purchase between the parking lot and the dune. If you don't need to buy anything, the only thing you'd have to pay for is parking in the lot. Loved it. We did have sunglasses and a cup with lid wash away while having fun playing in the waves when the tide was coming in. We had to move our towels back several times as the water inched closer and closer to the dune!

Restaurant was full but we were guided to the the beach bar in order to wait for our table. Only 20 minutes after a waiter cam to pick us up and guide us to the table. Food was great and served in a timely manner. Absolutely nothing to complain at all. Mussels of any kind as well as more typical seafood on the menu. I choose Mussels as entry and tuna filet as main dish. Both the best I had so far. Great experience and I would recommend this place to anybody who love combination of great location and awesome food!

Inside was ridiculously hot. We were starving, so we sat inside. They sat us in an area with little to no breeze. We waited an eternity for the waitress to take our order, figuring at least the food should be decent -- anything would have tasted decent considering how hungry we were. And to put the cherry on top -- the glass of wine they gave me had a BUG in it. Ewwww. If we had had more options in the area, we would have gone elsewhere. Never again.

Some very kind servers, and some just rude. I once asked for a table on the sand, was told no because they were set for 4 people and we were only 2. But several other couples were seated on the sand just after we arrived - the staff just set up more 2 person tables, never bothering to offer us one. Another time we were told by one person we could sit at the outdoor tables on the side of the building, but after sitting the server told us we had to move inside because the section was closed, even though there was another table of people there. Then 5 minutes later, after we moved inside, they sat another group in the supposedly closed section. It's like there are multiple people running the place who are not on the same page.

This is a much needed change from "fast" style English Cuisine.

When you're there, be sure and try the Hog & Beef burger (it melts in your mouth) and the Craft Pilsner... SO GOOD !! Even though the prices are very reasonable, there's an upscale feel that takes you away from the grungy bar food scene... The staff is extremely cheery (unlike their French counterparts) and you're sure to have great service and a great time. When you stop by, be sure and ask for Andrew. He's the manager, and FULL of great information about Bordeaux if you're looking for something to do while you're in town.

1st visit: perfect. 2nd time: not too bad but it was as if…read morethey had nothing to prove. I was there 'cause I liked it in the first place right? 3rd time (I guess I wanted to make a point): the whole team was doing their thing while I was .... hmmm... acting like a client. The climax was reached when I asked for a fork and a knife to eat my chicken wings (small bites). The waitress shouted out loud all over the place (in English) to the waiter "how stupid that was! First time in HER LIFE she heard such a silly thing"!!! . Glups. All in one: the waiter understood in a glimpse that I heard AND GOT what she meant. The rest of the meal was all embarrassing smiles or some "tout va bien" (with probably some muttered "at some point, she will finish her meal, pay and leave, so let's keep it smooth"). Even if I am craving for English food, I will stick to other places for the reasons here mentioned. Plus I will NOT recommend them for the same reasons.

(Last visited 7/11/2021.) So a day or so ago we were at a natural wine store in Bordeaux Center…read morestore and were just chatting with others. We were quickly made out to be "the foreigners" from America so we got to chatting it up. People were asking us what we were doing and stuff so we mention going to climb "The Dune" that's on the west coast of the country. Someone mentioned HAVING to check out La Coorniche since we'd be in the area. Well, after a grueling hike up and down that dune, twice, we treated ourselves to La Coorniche... Here's how it went. Atmosphere/Appearance: So, this place is highly sought-after. It was a Sunday evening and this place was packed. I highly recommend making reservations as far in advance as possible. So we rolled right up to the open-air chic, modern, lively restaurant in flip-flops, sandals, dingy clothes from the beach, messy hair and a sunhat... hoping to get a table. Lol. And we did. They sat us right away and this place is GORGEOUS. All the staff are dressed head-to-toe in white and are very friendly. This restaurant is attached to the La Coorniche hotel so you can sit next to a pool, at the glass barrier to look out into the Mediterranean. You can watch the sunset from the huge outdoor section or you can dine in the more conservative manner and eat indoors. Then at night, the DJ sets up and you can dance into the night! This place just has EVERYTHING! Service: Romain took excellent care of us and he was amazing. He was super funny, talkative and entertaining for sure. He cracked some jokes about us being from out the country and it was all in good fun. Lol. Food: Being in France and feeling like I'm at a prestigious restaurant, I didn't hold anything back. Lol. So I started with the "Plateau Cuit" which is "cooked platter" in French so I went for it! On this cooked platter was 1 whole crab or spider crab (depending on what had arrived in the kitchen), 3 langoustines (very small lobsters), 6 prawns, 250 grams of whelks (large snails) and 100 grams of periwinkles (small snails). This was A LOT of food and a bit of work cracking shells, yanking snails as well as keeping an appetite! Lol. Everything was so freaking fresh and so delicious. I had never eaten snails in this manner before and honestly, they were quite good! The sauces that came with them made them even easier to scarf down! The platter was quite decorative and "baller" if I may add. It was served on ice and very elegant platform. For my entrée I opted for their 2-coure combo which comes with a main course and a dessert. My entrée was a delicious piece of red meat served with a a thin later of fat still left on it that added extra flavor. On the side was a like, a fluffy, delicious sweet piece of cornbread. (I'm sorry if I'm doing a terrible job explaining what I had, but in reality, I don't know what I had! Lol, I just know it was amazing!) For dessert I had this sort of chocolate explosion which was basically the chef flexin' on us. It was like, 5 different desserts on one plate all composed of chocolate in some form. Just check out my pictures. Lol. Value: Based on what I just wrote... you already know this place was expensive, but... worth it? Absolutely. My seafood platter hit for 60€. The 2-course dinner was 73€. Totally worth it and would do it again in a heartbeat. It's not something I'd do everyday or even every weekend, but while in the western part of France, I had to splurge. In conclusion, I'm so thankful that someone recommended this place to us. It was such an experience and an amazing finish to a great day! If you're in the area, please come check this place out! You will enjoy yourself.
