    • A family business passed down from father to son since 1937, Maison Margat invites you to stop by and discover its production of oysters and mussels, raised from start to finish in Fouras. A know-how passed down through five generations.


      Alone Local shellfish farmers offer these products and other seafood (platters available to order) for individual purchase and/or for tasting in an idyllic setting in the designated tasting area. Authenticity, conviviality, and tranquility are the hallmarks of the establishment.


      On the menu from April to October? An iodine cure: oysters, mussels and fries (in season), crab, pink prawns, grey prawns, whelks... All with your feet practically in the water!


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

    We cycled past here and it looked like a very nice, cozy terrace. When we took a quick look inside and saw a basin full of oysters, a girl (Leane) came up to us and asked if she could tell us something about the harvesting/processing of these oysters. In fluent English, she managed to tell us the origin, processing, and history of the oysters in just 10 minutes. Thanks Leane! Highly recommended if you don't just want to eat well, but especially if you want to experience it..

    5 / 5 Reviews posted by 906damienc (Grenade, France) on 14/08/2025

    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.
