At Café De La Corniche you can sit with a good cup of coffee and get some food while enjoying the nice view of La Rochelle bay in the sun. Unbeatable on a summer day or a sunny winter afternoon! There are also concerts hosted here during the warm days.

La Grand’rive

La Grand’rive

La Grand’rive is am emblematic venue in La Rochelle and claimed to be one of the best cafés in town. With its terrace on the Old Port, it is an ideal place for an “apéro” (the truly French way to say aperitif) of the local Pineau (the sweet fortified local wine).

Bistrot Des Pêcheurs

Bistrot Des Pêcheurs

Bistrot Des Pêcheurs is an ordinary French café and crêperie, yet popular for its typical fishermen breakfast: six oysters and a glass of wine! With this local fashion of having breakfast, you will get plenty of energy to start your day and visit the city.

Gaspard et Léon

Gaspard et Léon

This small coffee shop is favoured by the sweet tooth and the children for its waffles! Come have a bite! The young and enthusiastic team will happy cover your waffle (and your heart) with melted nutella, speculoos paste or any other flavour you feel like.

La Brulerie du Marche

La Brulerie du Marche

Located in front of the market, Brulerie is well-known for its quality coffees but also offers teas and smoothies for healthier options. The small terrace is a definite plus, but it is the smell of freshly prepared Arabica that will bring you to this little café.

Aux Delices de Vero

Aux Delices de Vero

Halfway between a bakery and a coffee shop, Aux Delices de Vero sells coffees and other beverages, bread, sandwiches and some sweet treats. Great for a breakfast or a quick lunch. They recently opened a salad bar where you can compose your own salad by choosing the ingredients.

Café Du Bassin

Café Du Bassin

The Café du Bassin is the perfect mix where you can find the relaxed atmosphere of a coffee place but also the offerings of a bar and several food platters (a great delicatessen plate but also oysters and sea food). The location and view are also amazing.

164 Espresso Bar

164 Espresso Bar

This coffee shop, located right in front of the train station, is great for one last coffee and a French pastry before you embark on a train to a new adventure. The place is truly small but the staff are very friendly.
