Restaurant Les Flots

We visited Les Flots with great anticipation July 8, 2026. We came at 8 pm - which may be early in local dining terminology. We got a window seat - all good, but with aggressive airconditioning. The evening began with two amuse bouche, a piece of bread with an anchiovy - the other did not leave a lasting impression. We ordered a bottle of a local Domaine Arica, Grand Maree - a fantastic crisp white - grown locally. The first starter was a really nice composition of tuna and courgette. At this point we had to be re-seated because my companion was beginning to ice-over due to the aircon, and due to a guest arriving with an anoying dog. Dogs should not be allowed in aspiring restaurants. After being re-seated in restaurant which was 15% filled. we were served a really nice terine de le lieu noir which went perfect with the wine. Bread was served in a very un-elegant way throughout the night and in lumps and sizes fitting a horse. The main course was a la Daurade se baste with corn and tarragon - nice idea. The fish was perfectly cooked ! - The highlight of the evening was the dessert which was a mousse of yuzu, apricot with apricot sorbet. - In summary the restaurant is trying to cater to american tourists and to gourmet tourists at the same time, this is likely due to the location. Finally, the selection of american hit music and volume was not acceptable. We recommend the restaurant re-locates to a smaller venue around rue Rambauld and finds its roots - the chef is talented…

A top notch fishy lunch. Impeccable service, good wine that was well priced and my GOD the flavours of the dishes!! Monkfish and sole for the two mains, the almond sauce with the monkfish was sublime. Bravo chef, bravo tous! We’ll be back for the next trip to La Rochelle. Bravo bravo bravo!!

Very good product!! Must order the oysters!!! Nice terrace and very professional service, a bit slow between services but worth the waiting. Keep space for a great dessert

Top notch dining experience yesterday. We had the Discovery menu - it was delicious. Tomato dish was highlight for my husband and monkfish main was superb. Lovely amuse-bouche as well. Service was perfect - attentive without intrusion and a good local wine recommendation. We would highly recommend this restaurant for a great dining experience for anyone visiting La Rochelle. Wish we could come this evening as well!

Wonderful experience for our party of 4. Very professional and helpful staff. Delicious food - compliments au chef. Sat on the terrasse this time with a good view of the vieux port and the towers.
