Le Cabanon Du Pecheur - Grayan-et-l'Hôpital

Very generous portions at a good price, with a focus on local seafood. We had fish soup, squid, prawns, moules, gambas (giant prawns) and steak, all of which were delicious.

We were returning from a days sightseeing and found this quite by accident. The restaurant is right by a little tributary of the Gironde, with boats tied up alone the river and swifts catching insects as the evening sun went down. It was delightful in every way: location and welcome were great but the seafood was outstanding. We ate here 2 nights on a row because the food was so good. On the first night the restaurant was full of locals eating and watching the world cup final, we were made so welcome. I had Moules to die for! On the second night I had the seafood platter which was delicious, the oysters were particularly good. If you like rustic restaurants which are good value, serving excellent food at a reasonable price then don't hesitate. A tip on finding this gem - Once you are in the town of St Vivien de Medoc you follow signs to La Port.

I have a hard time giving very simple restaurants a top rating, but this out of the way local restaurant is an exception. The menu although somewhat limited showcases the seafood of France with a view on the docks. I had the famous Lamprey Bordelaise. I ordered it because of its fame in this part of the world. It was really great, but don't read the recipe. The locally raised oysters on the half shell were large and delicious. 12 oysters with a side of pate was 14 euros. Most people in the restaurant had mussels or the impressive seafood plateaux. The desserts were very impressive with one of the best apple tarts I have ever had. If you are in the area don't miss this place.

Found this place entirely by accident whilst cycling through France. I was on the banks of the Gironde and was just pottering about when I saw a sign for Port de Saint-Vivien. The restaurant wasn't advertised, I just stumbled upon it by the river with boats alongside, the lot. Clearly a family run establishment and I received a warm welcome. Plenty of fresh fish and shellfish on the menu, but the full range. I started with lovely bulots with lemon mayonnaise followed by two lemon sole, simply fried with french fries. The sun was shining and it was a lovely meal. I suspect they catch a lot of what they serve and I was treated to a couple of freshwater crayfish that they had just caught and cooked. Delicious.

restaurant very well located at the port of Saint vivien, on the edge of the fairway. room in length, with a very simple decor. choose a table by the water. The kitchen is simple, family and copier. the fisherman's plate, at 17€, is composed of a fish of the day, mussels, incornets and fries. a little expensive but tasteful. the gourmet coffee includes a chocolate melt, a tatin pie, a vanilla ice ball and for 5€ it is very good. impeccable and smiling service.

a small locomotive - from the baked oysters to the bulots to the aal - tasty - only the pommes fries you don't need - great corner off the tour beaches

we can't put forward the service and reception, very attentive. However, concerning the dishes we were disappointed by the mussels too salted and fries not cooked enough to our taste... damage. the frame is very nice

very good reception, waitress at the top. We ate quality products, a real treat in an idyllic setting. Little nice word of the «chef». next year.
