L'Apart Réserver une table

On our second visit to this lovely restaurant, we were impressed by the pleasant calm of the dining room, the impeccable service but most of all, the quality of the food. We shared one starter (cold crab and shrimp mousse with crispy vegetables), and then tried the salmon tartare and the Iberian pork fillet as entrees. The tartare was deliciously spiced and more than ample, as was the pork fillet (two hefty slices) served on a bed of sautéed celeriac and mushrooms. Desserts were a dream--a special pistachio financier with raspberries and strawberries surrounded by fine white chocolate mousse, and a sampler of five different tastes (blueberry creme brûlée, apple and apricot crumble, chocolate and caramel mousse, raspberry coulis with vanilla ice cream) proved too irresistible. Cafe came with small truffles--not what we needed but excellent all the same. A good variety of wines by the glass at various prices were available, and we tried a Spanish white unknown to us that was wonderful and fresh. L'Apart provided great meal at a reasonable price for these times. Yes, it is a bit outside of Challans, but directly on the route to st. Gilles, where we were headed--convenient for parking and access.

This restaurant has a reputation but, the dish are more visual than to be eat. So you have a lot of taste, but so few it is a pity. It is a french tendance today, i am not in phase with.

This restaurant was recommended to us by some French friends who live in the area. It's in a nondescript part of town but easy to find and plenty of parking space, we were welcomed in by a very nice team who were keen to help us in English.The menu itself is limited as other reviewers have pointed out so we all opted for just two courses. The amuse bouche was delicious and the restaurant was happy to cater for one of our party with dairy intolerance.The starters were enjoyable enough although I was a bit disappointed with mine, I appeared to have a burnt piece of gaufre however I was assured that it was black because it contained squid ink, whatever, it was it was tasteless.My main gripe was with the main course, two of us opted for duck which seemed to be mainly skin with very little meat attached to it sitting on a bed of finely chopped vegetables. I'm afraid it was very disappointing compared with other meals we have had nearby.The dessert served looked very impressive and apparently tasted wonderful as well.All in all though a nice evening out and I would probably give it a second chance.

Je viens de profiter d'un excellent déjeuner à L'Apart. La nourriture était de premier ordre, de l'entrée au foie gras au plat de veau et champignons, en passant par une délicieuse confiserie aux fraises pour finir. Le service était excellent, ce qui aide. Ce n'est pas le déjeuner le moins cher, mais il vaut chacun de mes euros nouvellement dévalués. Allez, faites-vous plaisir, je sais qu'on y reviendra

Three of us booked for dinner, and all had 2 courses. The set menu is quite simple - a choice of 3 starters and then 3 mains. There is also a 'comptoir' menu which looks like 'specials' but also seems to iCloud's bar snack type of food. We all had an amuse-bouche of foie gras and mascarpone topped with a rhubarb sauce - nice. Two of us had prawns on a lovely crispy cuttlefish-ink gaufre (more a waffle than a pancake). This was very tasty. The third member of our party had the house mi-cuit foie gras, and declared it excellent. For mains, I had a beautiful risotto topped with fish. My husband had Iberico ham that had been cooked in salt. Glad I didn't have this as there was too much fat. Our daughter had steak tartare, prepared out of sight so presumably the raw egg was already in. All three mains were excellent. No puds, one coffee, one bottle of Côte du Rhone. Petit fours for all of us. Total about €125. The only slight disappointment was that we weren't offered an aperitif, but we didn't see anyone else with one. Trying for a quick turnover?We will go back.

Ce soir, c'était la première fois que nous essayions ce restaurant et ma femme et moi avons été ravis de toute cette expérience. Le service était sympathique et professionnel et malgré deux grandes fêtes ce soir, nous n'avions pas l'impression d'être ignorés. . Le choix du menu était intriguant et nous avons opté pour trois plats. En entrée, nous avons tous les deux eu le mini burger au foie gras qui semblait bizarre mais plein de saveur et vraiment délicieux. Les plats principaux étaient du filet de co pour moi et du filet de porc pour ma femme et encore une saveur alléchante. Le tout a été complété par un dessert difficile à décrire mais très bon. Le choix des vins était excellent mais comme d'habitude nous avons opté pour un rouge local de la région de Mareuill. Nous y retournerons et la prochaine fois emmènerons des amis.
