“We Had a lovely stay and dinner at Hotel L'Océan, Le Croisic A friendly small hotel with the most amazing direct sea views out to sea. Our room on the first floor was large and comfortable, with a huge terrace with direct sea views over the rocks and sea beyond. It was definitely breezy during our stay, I can image in must be amazing in a storm! At night we had the window slightly open to enjoy the sound of the waves below. Reception staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. A few weeks before we traveled from the UK the hotel phone us to ask if we wanted to make restaurant reservations as we were staying over a Thursday and Friday night and the restaurants get booked up, we really appreciated the attention to detail. There are two restaurants at the hotel L'Océan a gourmet restaurant and the Bistro offering a more simple menu option. Bistrot l’Océan is bright with full-length windows on two sides providing diners with wonderful sea views. We both started with the prawn and langoustine toastada with avocado and orange followed by fish and steak. We finished with a wonderful chocolate fondant. All were beautifully presented and very tasty. Service was excellent, very attentive and informative with help being offered with the menu. We both really enjoyed our stay and meals and would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to others.”

“Location is amazing especially when there is a rough sea at high tide as the panoramic windows are at waters edge. We felt that the 'gastronomic, dining experience was not fully realized. Taste and presentation was rather average. Service as well. We sat for some time before being served menus and bread. I was shocked when the waiter reached across my wife's plate several times to serve. Service is always from right of the guest.”

“We had lunch at the bistro and it was excellent - high quality seafood and fish dishes. Incredible desserts! Great view, but it looked like the main restaurant had the truly amazing views with floor to ceiling windows right on the water. Very nice little beach right next door. Super location.”

“Simply phenomenal. Go before they get their Michelin stars they deserve. Food and service impeccable. The view is unforgettable. We went two nights in a row. Sea bass was best we have ever tasted.”

“Had a lovely dejeuner here yesterday. Attentive service without being bothersome. Wine and water glasses kept filled. Several dish and silver changes. Lobster bisque was really, really good, though the menu and our waitress neglected to tell us that the €36 starter was intended to share. So we each had 2 bowls (in succession, not all at once) of the excellent soup. Tough deal. We also had the delicate, moist sea bass in a salt crust. Nice show by the server as he removed the crust and filleted the fish at table side. I watched the same guy filleting a turbot for our dining neighbors. Impressive! And the view is perfect as the restaurant sits right above bedrock tide pools on Le Coisic’s southern shore. Thunderclouds in the distance, high tide and a brisk breeze added to the visual experience. So…great food, dramatic ambience and good service. NOT inexpensive but we enjoyed ourselves immensely.”
