Oceania - Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie

Brilliant food and stunning sunset views. They dampened our attempts to speak in French and seemed glad we tried. They spoke really good English, although

Unbelievable location, we sat outside when the sea was swallowed by the side. The staff was extremely helpful and attentive. The food was presented very well with a decent selection. The Café-Gourmand at the end was excellent.

We have been going to this promenade at St Gilles for 17 years now and love the setting, great views, a wide sandy beach at low tide and a length of beach that goes on for ever.This was our first time at Oceania and, as old hands, we were impressed.We had very generous amounts of moules a la campagnarde : mussels with bacon, cheese and onion sauce. Great chips to go with it, tasty, delicate and not gross in size but enough to complement the mussels if that does not sound too daft.Then great crepe with chocolate and banana, as old staple choice, but here it was almost artistic. I even took a photo which is with this reviewRapid, very friendly service, reasonable prices and good wine choices. They speak good English too. Excellent. Will go back, maybe many times in future years.If you are thinking of eating on this prom, do go here and not nearby to La Parenthese, where there is an efficient service but tiny portions, see previous review.

There was a good choice on the menu for all including a 7 year old. Menu de jour was great value. The staff were very friendly and helpful with translations. Steak and mussels were the stars for us...

We have visited the town lots over the last few years however this was the first time at Oceania. The staff were great and make customers feel very welcome. The food was great, very fresh, and the whole experience makes it a place we will definitely visit again.
