"We visited this restaurant following a review in a Vendee magazine. It was extraordinary.It was raining heavily, with a strong wind. We were seated at a table directly facing the ocean, with waves thundering in onto the rather ominous rocks beneath. A breathtaking sight. Round 1 .. 10 points! The menus .. and there were a number, were reasonably priced, surprisingly so for a Michelin starred restaurant. We chose the middle of the range Euros 65 menu which was very interesting. We were given many little bouchees in between courses which were so delicious. The entree was fois gras, displayed in such an artistic way, it was almost difficult to destroy it by eating it.Round 2 ... 10 points! Little bits in between time, and then a spectacularly tender fillet of veal, with a wonderful reduction and again .. presentation that couldn't be faulted. We would however comment that it would have been very nice to have had some fresh vegetables .. which we often find missing in French establishments. Round 3 ... 10 points. The cheese board was not to the standard of the other courses. It was good, but just good. Round 4 .. 7 points. Desert was an apple based concoction, which I personally did not particularly like, though my husband ate it with relish ... the presentation was again spectacular. Round 5 ... 7 points. We ordered espresso coffee, being somewhat fussy about coffee, and were surprised that it arrived in rather large cups, and was frankly very ordinary indeed. It didn't smell particularly fresh and was not at all what we expected. In fact, I did not drink mine. Round 6 ... 4 pointsThe service was impeccable, though it was nicer when our waiter did eventually smile! The overall experience for this place is incredible. It is a huge restaurant but table spacing allows for privacy, which in an establishment such as this is important.Our congratulations to the chef for a wonderful meal, somewhat spoiled by the final taste of very poor coffee. Not that this would stop us revisiting this beautiful place. The menus are for restaurant of this quality very reasonably priced. Thoroughly recommended!"

"I'm very disappointed that I ordered fried mussels, but the fries are upstairs, the first time I see this. In addition to dessert, I order a crêpe flambé, but the corner is also extra. We were just passing through, but I won't stop."

"we stumbled over this restaurant when we look for another, but were thrilled by the amazing view and the seafood on the menu. we chose a few courses from the set menu (which seemed to be waiting for trouble that we did not want pudding to have...we actually had room, but they looked amazing so that he had a point and they were excellent. beautifully presented foiegras and a small seafood platter (three oysters and four huge prawns) put the scene and our main courses were also beautiful fish couscous with a delicious piece of cod, salmon and garnel and a steak. the waiter has made with us bleu' vs saignant' steak sweat, but my man said it was perfect. a pichet of rose ended the contract. If you notice the taps in a plough, you will be actuated by the knee! one of the best lunches we had in France and this is a big compliment."

"A nice discovery. We were looking for a restaurant close to the aquarium and Le Triangolo was very well rated so we tried. The burger was really good, the little one's cake too, the mussels were also very good. No one was disappointed. A little wait, but as there were people, nothing embarrassing. The view on port is a little more. We recommend this restaurant."

"my partner and I just went to lunch here and what can I say it was perfect! I've beaten her all our vacation I wanted to try some French meat and bread and local food, and then we stumbled over here! I had a fantastic tapas type meal with a selection of brot and meat, with oliven and it was brilliant, my partner had a pasta court that she didn't stop talking about (I can't tell them what it was when I cloged them how they went about it so much we had a side of chips to share what was very reasonable for a small family and to feed a small family! I highly recommend, and for those who are less fluent in French, they also have English menus! would highly recommend them!"
