Le tout du cru

I have only tried two restaurants in these 2 weeks and this is one of them.

Just a few steps from the vielle marché, you can find Le Tout du Cru seafood dining. This small restaurant has become a favorite one.

The menu revolves around oysters, shellfish, and seafood platters sourced from the nearby Atlantic coast, alongside carefully selected regional specialties like charcuterie and cheeses. With up to a dozen varieties of oysters - from Île de Ré to Marennes - the emphasis is firmly on freshness and provenance rather than elaborate preparation.

The décor is rustic and slightly offbeat, and the restaurant’s small size makes reservations highly recommended, especially during busy seasons.

Critics highlight the quality of the seafood and the straightforward, honest cooking. Recognized by guides like Gault&Millau, Le Tout du Cru stands for its dedication to sourcing some of the best oysters and shellfish available and serving them with minimal fuss.

Well meanwhile there are probably a lot of tourists on the way (they offer a menu in englisch), the bread was too dry and the food nothing special and compared to Resto chez Titou (see my other article about a restaurant) the taste was boring and the atmosphere did not invite people to stay seated.

So: not recommend unless you only want to eat oysters.Read more
