    • A family business from father to son since 1937, Maison Margat invites you to stop for a break in its establishment to discover its production of oysters and mussels raised from A to Z in Fouras. A know-how passed down for 5 generations.


      As the only shellfish farmers in the area, it is possible to purchase these products and other seafood (platters to order) at retail and/or to taste them in an idyllic setting in the designated tasting area. Authenticity, conviviality and tranquility are the key words of the House.


      On the menu from April to October? A sea cure: oysters, mussels and chips (in season), crab, pink shrimp, brown shrimp, whelks... All this, almost with your feet in the water!


      Didier, Mike, Laurent, Faustine and Laëtitia welcome you to Maison Margat throughout the year (opening hours vary depending on the season).

      • January : CLOSED.

    Everything is good from the oysters to the crab, except for a small downside: we paid in advance for lunch. We had ordered coffees that we didn't get because the cabin closes at 1 p.m. sharp, so we have to pay for this little oversight.

    Very nice experience. The setting is chic but neat, by the ocean. Very good product quality. There was a jazz band the night we went there. Have a good time with the family.

  • "Excellent mussels and a great frame"

    5 / 5 Reviews posted by Emilie v on 03/08/2025

    We eat directly at the producer’s, on a shaded terrace by the ocean. Order at Welcoming and then we sit down to be served. We took sea mussels, the mussels are enough on their own, no sauce needed...

    When we crave seafood, we go there. never disappointed. We eat on site, or as for the 31 we drive 2 hours to have a good quality and not more expensive.
