But let's be honest this location is out of the way in an exclusive area of France that is reserved for the Parisian trendies more than your average tourist. Cap Ferret is very expensive, very beautiful and very well guarded by the few tourists that even know the place exists. The food at L'Escale is typical French coastal cooking (ie: fabulous), using local caught fresh seafood that is the best I have ever tasted, so fresh, you can feel the ocean on the food. The atmosphere feels like one big family dinner, relaxed and buzzing with conversation. The view from the seating areas is of the oyster beds and local fishing boats, the land you can see across the water is Bordeaux. Grab a seat outside and for the best views. Heaven on earth (apart from one grumpy waiter who didn't like the English).

Le décor est planté. A la carte, des huîtres et des fruits de mer bien sûr, mais aussi des viandes et poissons grillés avec par exemple le magret de canard grillé escalopé sauce poivre, le pavé de morue fraîche grillée sauce aioli ou encore la salade de poissons aux pâtes fraîches. Du 1er juin au 30 septembre, le bar à tapas La Bodega de Marcel est ouvert à côté du restaurant pour déguster beignets de calamars, moules à la plancha et Chipirones en su tinta...

After our wine tasting at St. Emilion, my husband and I decided to make the trek here. About an…read morehour and a half later, we arrived, found parking and got seated within two minutes. Originally, I was a bit worried I'd need to whip out Google translate for the menu (but my husband says he couldve translated some of the menu because he is a chef who studied French culinary arts) but all worry was moot due to the English menu (oh thank goodness). That aside, we decided with tap water, the assortment of starters which consisted of cured meats, smoked salmon, ground up tuna, shrimp and duck with lots of servings of bread - I swear, with each dish and empty bucket, our waitress just refilled it with four more pieces of warm bread. My favorite as always was definitely the chorizo! My husband also got oysters and I certainly am not a fan but he made me try - which, honestly, he put too much lemon juice and I still am not a fan but according to him, it was good and fresh (I guess as long as it's fresh, you can't go wrong with it). Next came our entree which consisted of duck breast with his duck liver and my pork. The foie gras was super fatty and melted in mouth and the duck was cooked to perfection. My pork neck was pretty good and I loved the sauce that went along with it. I was happy to get some salad too because on vacation, I feel like vegetables become a side character that scarcely appears. I was definitely full after dinner and one dessert was good for the both of us. And being fans of chocolate, we got the chocolate dome which wasn't too sweet. Overall, our experience here was terrific! Would recommend if you're in the area - plus it's close to a beach so I think it'll be nice in the afternoon.

Great staff - very friendly and the food is awesome! Intimate seating and dog friendly.read more
