The Récif

Take the coastal road from Punta de Bé for about 10 minutes to reach "Le Récif" bar. It is nestled in an area away without light pollution and gives the impression of being at the end of the world. On a clear day, one can block out the sun to see Noirmoutier island on the horizon. The bar-restaurant is on the 2.5 km long Bonne Source beach, one of the wildest of the city. They serve carpaccio, salads, and traditional dishes like beef, or sausage with apples. I recommend apple pie with caramel for dessert. The services on offer are good value for money and in the high season I advise booking a table.
