La Co(o)rniche - La Teste-de-Buch

An unparalleled setting in front of the Banc d'Arguin! Fine and inventive cuisine. Careful staff. An exceptional moment... to renew and recommend.

Such a disappointment! Both lobster and french fries had HAIR in them. The rest of the food was more than average for the price tag. Service was quick but quite inattentive and rude (asked 8-10 times for water before it finally arrived). The core of the problem is that the restaurant seats a couple hundred people. So it’s less about ambiance or food, more about serving as many guests as possible. Which badly impacts the quality. The views from the terrace were beautiful, but there are just so many better ways to spend your time and money. We dined at a Michelin starred Michel Guerard’s the same evening and it was like 10 times better for the comparable bill.

The place had a wonderful view, we had a great central table and the food came quickly. The waitress was really helpful and gave me good suggestions for the dishes. Just for this, we left a good pourboire. However,I wish I followed her suggestion not to take the pork as the main course. The pork was very fatty and the combination with the sauce did not feel right in my stomach. I woke up that night with a very bad nausea and had to throw up. The next day, I felt unwell with severe stomach pain, which obviously was some minor form of food poison. Apart from this, something should be done about the cleanly the toilet and bad smells at the entrance. We will never eat there again!

Beautiful location, staff very attentive and friendly, it’s slightly more expensive than other restaurants but really worth it, we had a wonderful lunch enjoyed everything, we will definitely be back

I wanted to make an original gift for my husband's birthday.
