    • The "Huître du Saunier" cabin has been open since May 1, 2017. A production and tasting place located in an atypical place, in the heart of the salt marshes. You can get there by the cycle path that connects the town of La Couarde to that of Loix, passing by the Tour des Prises to reach the small port of Laid and its famous tide mill. You can go there by car and park in a car park located less than 200 meters away.

      In a place in real and direct contact with nature, Jean and Thierry invite you to come and savor shellfish and crustaceans: oysters from the producer, clams, shrimps, whelks fricassee à la plancha and other local products such as samphire velouté or “la Rhétaise” fish soup.

      House motto: “we want to have fun and share it.”

    We couldn't imagine a better "restaurant" for our first oysters. The service, friendliness, ambiance, and ultimately the enjoyment of the good, fresh food are hard to beat. Thank you for a wonderful experience, one you'll be grateful for on vacation.

    5 / 5 Reviews posted by Rachelle T (Dartmouth, United Kingdom) on 14/07/2023

    Great spot to cycle to for lunch in the sun amongst the oyster beds. We shared a mixed platter of seafood and a bottle of rose and all was right in the world.

    The oysters are good, well opened and the Service existing. Otherwise, as elsewhere often on the island of Ré, the owner makes no effort to make the setting pleasant. Frankly in this place you feel...
