    • THE GRAIN OF SALT IN PONT-L'ABBÉ-D'ARNOULT, BETWEEN SAINTES AND ROCHEFORT

      Traditional cuisine in a village in Charente-Maritime

      Located in Pont-l'Abbé-d'Arnoult, in the heart of Charente-Maritime, the restaurant Le Grain de Sel offers traditional French cuisine made with fresh, local produce. Located between Rochefort, Saintes and the Marennes-Oléron oyster basin, this independent establishment stands out with its short, carefully curated menu, which changes with the seasons.

      The restaurant welcomes guests in a calm atmosphere, both indoors and on the terrace, and also offers a catering service to support private or professional events. This dual activity allows Grain de Sel to be part of the local life, while responding to varied requests, from daily lunch to meals made to order.

      Homemade dishes and local products

      Grain de Sel's cuisine is based on simple recipes, where products take center stage. Meats, fish, vegetables and aromatic herbs are chosen from local producers, promoting a responsible and seasonal approach.

      Every day, a market menu is offered, with a complete formula and a good balance between classic flavors and modern cuisine. During the week, regulars appreciate this quick and careful offer. In the evenings and at the weekend, the menu expands to include more elaborate suggestions, always with a logic of mastery of cooking and guaranteed freshness.

      In addition to its restaurant business, Le Grain de Sel provides a catering service upon request. It accompanies family meals, cocktails, cold or hot buffets, business meetings or association events. Services are personalized according to needs and logistical constraints, with the possibility of delivery or collection on site.

      A discreet setting and a warm welcome

      The establishment has a bright room with a sober atmosphere, ideal for a quiet meal. A few tables on the terrace, courtyard side or at the front, allow you to enjoy the beautiful days in a calm environment.

      The dining room team provides attentive, yet non-pretentious service and guides guests throughout the meal. The daily specials and wine pairings are announced with precision. This attention to detail helps build local customer loyalty.

Its location, at the crossroads of the Rochefort-Saintes-Marennes axes, allows it to cover a wide area, both for on-site catering and for takeaway or event services.

      What to discover within a 30-kilometer radius of Pont-l'Abbé-d'Arnoult

    An exquisite experience, both in terms of the food and the service! We were each delighted with our appetizers, main courses, and desserts (fresh, delicious, and perfectly portioned). The entire team is friendly and highly professional, and the restaurant has a warm and intimate atmosphere. Thank you! We will definitely be back to Cabariot! ☺️
