Le Moussaillon Réserver une table

We spent our holidays in Meschers-sur-Gironde: a beautiful quiet place where you can still enjoy the quietness and purity of the French culture in the middle of summer. It was obvious this was a local favourite: among various fish restaurants, the majority of customers filled up the tables and chairs of this restaurant's terrace. Great atmosphere. They are not running to bring you your orders or bill, but even though very friendly. I had the Salade fruits de mer: it was incredibly tasty. You could immediately tell there was someone in the kitchen who knew what he/she was doing. You know the feeling where you get something on your plate and you think: "hmmm, I think I could do this better"? Well, that was NOT my feeling that day in July :) Very reasonable prices as well. If you ever stay in the vicinity of Meschers (like Royan!), do yourself a favour and visit this nice authentic village (beautiful ancient church). Then walk to the little harbour and order that salad :)

4 of us visited this restaurant at lunchtime on a Friday, we were catching up as we hadn't seen each other for a long time.We arrived at the restaurant, were seated very quickly and then the waitress tried to take our order more or less before we had seen the menu!! We needed more time so had an aperitif which gave us chance to peruse the menus.My husband had the moules frites and boy what a huge bowl of moules and lots of lovely sauce with them too. I had an Assiette fruit de mer which came with 5 oysters, 5 langoustines, 5 crevettes, quite a lot of bulots and some tiny prawns. Lovely sauces with it too and some rillettes to go with the oysters. One of our friends chose a similar plate to me but had smoked salmon and melon with some langoustines and prawns. The other friend had the Moules Charantais that looked delicious.Two of the party chose a dessert and they both went for the Cafe Gourmand. A lovely meal, the shellfish at this restaurant is always excellent.

I have been a regular at the Moussaillon for quite a number of years, and have never been disappointed. Absolutely fantastic fresh seafood, nicely prepared and served, and some excellent local wines. Nice friendly staff also.

Our visit to Moussaillon was completelt unplanned. We were in Meschers for an event when the heavens opened and it rained, (and rained and rained). We therefore decided to take lunch in this restaurant. The first thing you notice in the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. We then selected our lunch comprising of fish soup as a started - which was among the best we have had. Our main course were mussels, which despite the recent epidemic in the area were absolutely first class, a good size, beautifully coloured and very tasty. To complete our lunch we opted for 'Fromage Blanc au Cognac' - if you have never tasted this local dish then you absolutely must - its heaven.Great place for a lunch.

We decided to eat at this restaurant last Sunday lunchtime as we had eaten here before and had excellent food. We were not disappointed this time. Having decided we didn't want the full 3 or 4 course meal we opted for the Sea Bream with Hollandaise sauce which came with vegetables and rice. The fish was delicious and my husband who doesn't normally go for a whole fish because of the bones said it was one of the best meals he has had. We were both quite full after the main course but decided we could manage a dessert !!! I had crepes with sugar and my husband had two boules of ice cream which came in a large glass. The restaurant was very busy, in fact full to capacity, but we were served in good time and never felt ignored. The waiting staff were very good and everyone seemed to be enjoying their meals.

We dropped in here early one evening to have some oysters before going on to another restaurant. The oysters here are wonderful and with a nice glass of cold white wine it was a good start to an enjoyable evening.

We stopped for lunch on a sunny afternoon and had a very pleasant meal. The service was excellent, the food was very nicely prepared and plentiful, and we thought it was excellent value for the money. We would definitely return if we were in the area again.

Excellent and very popular restaurant at the Port de Plaisance in Meschers. Menu is extensive and varied. Cooking is good and service excellent. Sit outside or inside depending on the weather.
