Club Plage Pereire — Restaurant in Arcachon

Great location and good food.

Right at the intersection of All. Des Floralies and Bd. L’Océan, the restaurant is easily the most conveniently located place along the entire Plage Pereire. The restaurant offers indoor, outdoor and beach lounge seating options. There is a huge tent that overs the outdoor seating area so you can leave your sunscreen in your car. The beach lounge area is literally feet away from the waves 🌊. It’s also a great spot for kids because who wouldn’t want to go play in the sand during dinner time 😆 and the area is super safe.

Onto the food the menu features great selection of seafood as expected but also offers good selection of salads, meats, desserts and cocktails. You shouldn’t expect a long wine list of beers on tap but what they offer are quite good. The sangria was delicious and the Belgium Pilsner Ginette was refreshing. We also ordered octopus 🐙 calamari and small fried fish (you have to try it if you never had it before, it is call Frito Mixo on the menu) for appetizers and tuna for main course which was cooked perfectly (crispy outside but pink inside).

Given the popularity of this place, reservations are highly recommended and patience goes a long way. Plus what is the rush when you are on...

This restaurant is the brother to the “bikini d’archachon” and is also pricey and very busy. Here were my impressions of the place: -food was good but nothing extraordinary. I had the chicken which was good but a bit dry. The fries were a bit bland and unsalted. The chocolate dessert was good but again nothing special. Portions are fine, albeit a bit pricey for what you get (but that’s the price of the location and view) -service was good , some small mishaps but nothing major. Fast and precise, it was rather good. -atmosphere is nice, the view and location seal the deal.

Sadly when seated outside, some tables and chairs are directly in the sand. Which is nice, but the chairs are small and not super well aligned with the tables. I am 1,86m and on the bigger side and the chair were not comfortable at all for me. This is honestly what’s keeping me from giving a 4 star review.

TLDR, the location and service is good, food a bit on the lesser side but still pacable. Seating on the sand is not tall/big...

The food was so disappointing. It felt like everything was precooked and reheated in the microwave..... the tuna tartare was also horrible. Felt like it was coming from a bucket, made in large quantity, the fish was cut in huge squares... we also wanted to have an aperitif before diner and were sent from one place to the next as they were closing the outside service to prepare for diner and the little bar on the side was not open... so not coordinated... such a shame it is such a beautiful location.... I felt in the past the food was never amazing but the atmosphere made up for it but this year... the food was so bad, and for the price you pay.... completely crazy. I gave two stars just because the place looks good and the location is great but for the food it...
