Since opening back in 2016, this 5* French restaurant has had one goal in mind and that was to create somewhere where local guests could enjoy delicious food in a place that felt like home. With big shoes to fill from predecessors Floods, they have achieved that goal, providing, fresh, locally sourced seafood dishes with a beautiful French twist, in a relaxing and revitalising atmosphere.

With an ethos to serve locally caught fish and locally made produce they create dishes with fish and seafood caught off the South West coast, offering lunch and dinner menus that change depending on what the fishermen have brought in that day. If that is not enough to entice you to visit, they are also winners of multiple accolades, including a 5* rating on TripAdvisor.
