A family restaurant in the heart of the Marennes-Oléron basin

Located in La Tremblade, in the heart of the Marennes-Oléron basin in Charente-Maritime, the Au Marais restaurant enjoys a prime location near La Grève, a place well-known for its oyster huts and typical landscapes. In this environment of marshes, oyster beds, and local traditions, the establishment embraces a simple and welcoming atmosphere.

The Au Marais restaurant in La Tremblade was born from a life project undertaken by a couple, Thomas and Ninon. After managing a snack and burger establishment for several years, they decided to change direction by opening a place more focused on traditional brasserie cuisine. This change reflects a desire to offer a more varied menu, suitable for a wider audience.

Simple brasserie-style cuisine accessible to all

In the kitchen, head chef Thomas offers a menu inspired by traditional brasserie fare, with dishes designed to appeal to a variety of tastes. The Au Marais restaurant in Charente-Maritime thus emphasizes accessible cuisine, making it ideal for sharing a meal with family or taking a break during a day exploring the region.

The surrounding area of La Grève in La Tremblade naturally influences the offerings. Products from the coast, particularly Marennes-Oléron oysters, find their place in the selection, directly linked to local producers and the oyster farming traditions of the area.

The positioning of the Au Marais restaurant in La Tremblade is based on clear, balanced cuisine adapted to current expectations, with attention paid to the diversity of tastes.

A warm setting on the edge of the oyster beds

Located right next to the oyster beds, the Au Marais restaurant in La Tremblade offers a relaxing setting. The La Grève area is known for its peaceful atmosphere, with colorful huts and ponds, offering a typical Charente-Maritime landscape.

In the dining room, Ninon provides a warm welcome in a friendly atmosphere, true to the spirit of the place. The project is based on a strong family dimension, with the presence of the couple and their two children, reinforcing the identity of the family restaurant in La Tremblade.

This setting allows us to create a place where visitors can feel comfortable, whether for a simple meal or to discover brasserie-style cuisine by the sea.

A return to roots and local traditions

The decision to settle in La Tremblade, near La Grève, was a personal one. An attachment to local roots, the landscapes of the Marennes-Oléron basin, and the moments spent enjoying oysters greatly influenced the creation of the restaurant Au Marais.

This location now allows us to offer dining on the edge of the oyster beds, directly connected to a natural environment and a strong local culture. The project aims to provide a simple experience, in harmony with the area and accessible to all.
