"On a wet night we found a real gem. Super food and attentive service. Really good value too. A small restaurant with a menu for all."

We went to this restaurant twice a couple of years ago, and were very impressed, if anything this time it was even better. It is a small place, so make a reservation to avoid disappointment. It is also not really a place for children, diners are there to experience fine dining and don’t want to watch your kids fidget and whine. Also not a place for people participating in the latest food fads: Gluten free, Vegan, etc. They have a limited menu of what is fresh at the moment, what they really excel at is seafood. The waiter was very good, he made some recommendations, which were right on. Including tactfully steering us away from the local wine (which I seem to remember is not that good) What is good is the Island made Pastis, which we started with. My first course was a carpaccio of Monkfish (Lotte) served with a small tasty salad. It was garnished with some small tart berries and Salicorns (a type of local seaweed) Not only did it look lovely, but the flavor blend was excellent. My husband started with foie gras done two ways that he enjoyed very much. We both did the main of Monkfish, it was served with an interesting vegetable medley: Snow peas, edamame, artichoke heart, and carrot. Delicately blanched Salicorns were in play here too. The sauce which complemented the fish to perfection had whole peppercorns. I got the Tomme cheese dessert, they have a way of shaving it so it looks like a beautiful ruffle, it is accompanied by a berry sorbet and again, a little garnish of Salicorns. My husband got the chocolate dessert which was excellent as well. It is a small, intimate, yet casual place with an original decorating theme of the beach and the sea. An excellent dining experience, can’t wait to go back.
My husband and I were both very impressed with Les Embruns. The situation was excellent – just a short walk from the hotel we were staying in. The interior was bright and colourful, and the welcome was friendly. The dinner menu had a good selection of dishes – I chose the sea bass, and my husband had a Charolais steak. Both were cooked to perfection, and presented well. We finished up with the chocolate fondant. The meal was accompanied with a very good 2011 Chinon red wine.The only negative point was that two diners had bought dogs into the restaurant with them, and both were a bit noisy at times. We find this often in restaurants in France. However, overall we were very pleased with our meal, and would recommend this restaurant to others.
Visiting il de re in probably the busiest weekend of the year- bank holiday, Mother's Day and blistering hot weather- meant that restaurants would be packed so I was so glad we booked this gem on metres back from the quayside. Professional service throughout with all the seafood prepared so well. Interesting garnishes including some sort of sea asparagus. Angela loved the interesting egg starter too. Great waitress who was witty as well as pretty knowledgable about the food.
Highly accomplished cooking, well served, and given the quality, not unreasonable in price. We both had roast pigeon, which will go down as one of the best meals we have ever had in a restaurant. Thank youI would love the recipe for the sauce that was served with the bird!!
