La Quich' Notte - Saint-Jean-de-Monts

If you’re looking for a place away from all the campsites, pizzerias and creperies, then this is your place to be. If you did not value French and local food yet, you will after being here. Besides the gorgeous food and wines (Go France! , Kathleen...and her team provide great hospitality. When something went wrong with one of our dishes, they made up for it big time. This is how you treat your guests, many places can learn from that. Thanks for a supernice evening!

Excellent food and very helpful staff for those of us whose French may be good enough to buy beer and croissants but not to navigate the details of a gourmet-friendly menu. Being well out of town, this restaurant is particularly convenient if you're staying in...one of the campsites within walking distance, such as Camping aux Coeurs Vendeens, Les Places Dorees, Les Amiaux or L'Abri des Pins. The local wines on offer (among others) make it well worth leaving the car behind!

Fab fab fab fab fab Had a fantastic meal there. The staff were excellent. The food was brilliant. The atmosphere was lovely. Can't recommend this restaurant enough. If you are in the area you need to go there, you will not regret it.

We went here for a meal on the last night of our holiday last Saturday. We had such a gorgeous meal and the staff were so friendly with our children we were really sorry we'd left it until or last night to go there. If...we had gone earlier in our holiday we definitely would have gone back there more than once. The chicken for the children was the best quality we had anywhere. Our own meals were stunning. I had the monkfish and it was beautiful. It was the most expensive meal of our holiday but also the best by far. The desserts were also chocolatey, rich and delicious. I'd highly recommend this restaurant.

First observations: Gorgeous old building with some open air and conservatory style additions. Friendly, attentive service. Fairly small, but varied menu. For our lunch we were offered the special starter of sardines and their wine of the day. We went for the wine, a lovely...white Burgundy, which perfectly complimented my starter of home smoke salmon salad. Mrs Express went for the Foie Gras. Both were excellent with a great small salad, with assorted beets and micro herbs on the side, and the Foe Gras was also excellent. 5 stars each. My main of monkfish wrapped in bacon was very good, nice balance of fresh and salty with a nice tower of roasted summer veg and a lovely champagne sauce. But the fried risotto 'squares ' didn 't taste of much other than fried breadcrumbs and were a disappointment. 4 stars. Mrs E 's beef fillet was superb though. Beautifully flavoured beef, amazing beef jus, lovely baby roast potatoes and a generous smeer of pureed root veg. An absolute triumph worth of a much more expensive restaurant. Deserts were very good; a perfectly 'tart ' ie not too sweet, lemon meringue 'pie ' with lemon sorbet was really tasty and the ice cream in a sugar bowl with cream, chocolate sauce and fruit also lovely. One small criticism was the bread served with the starters was stale, and not even a home baked roll that I would have expected in such a good restaurant. All in all, for a little over 100 EUR (we only had the bottle of wine to drink) and tap water, we both felt this a very fair price for the standard of food and setting.
