Fodor's Expert Review Carpe Diem

Five minutes by car from La Baule and a few steps from the Église d'Escoublac, this bright, modern dining room overlooking a pretty garden is an absolute favorite among locals. The gastronomic dishes consist of the freshest seasonal ingredients and don't shy away from the kinds of imaginative pairings that could go wrong but rarely do. Beautiful to look at from start to finish, and even better to taste, the gently priced multicourse fixed menus at lunch or dinner give diners a good introduction to this accomplished cuisine.
