Le Chipiron — Restaurant in Arcachon

My wife and I took a long drive to the restaurant hoping to get dinner after reading the great reviews on Google Map. We did not make any reservation as it was a last minute plan. When we arrived, I walked through the front door of the restaurant and was met by the person-in-charge, a man, who spoke in French. As I don’t speak French, I asked him in English if he could speak English.

We visited in June 2024, just before the tourist season, it was a lovely local restaurant. Service was incredible, our waitress was very attentive and gave great suggestions. Excellent choice of local wines and drinks. Food was exceptional we had 6 oysters, the shrimp (le crevette a l’ail), battered mussles with homemade alioli (beignets de moules) for starters, the shrimp being a highlight. And for the main we had squid and a whole grilled sea bass (Bar grillé “meunière” aux piquillos), a perfect recommendation from the waitress. For dessert the Catalan Crème Brulée and the surprise (Le mystère) with an espresso to finish. An excellent amount of food and very well priced. Simple fresh seafood done very well, highly recommend, a highlight of our trip would...

Restaurant Chipirons - Arcachon

Lors de mon séjour à Arcachon, j'ai eu le plaisir de découvrir le restaurant Le Chipirons, et je dois dire que c'était une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle. Ce restaurant est une véritable perle, surtout pour les amateurs de fruits de mer.

J'ai eu l'occasion de déguster leur spécialité, les chipirons, à deux reprises, et à chaque fois, j'ai été émerveillé par la finesse de la préparation et la qualité des ingrédients. Les chipirons étaient parfaitement cuits, savoureux et d'une fraîcheur incomparable.

L'ambiance du restaurant est chaleureuse et accueillante, le service est impeccable, et le personnel est attentif et sympathique. Leur attention aux détails et leur passion pour la cuisine se ressentent dans chaque plat.

Je recommande vivement ce restaurant à tous ceux qui visitent Arcachon. C'est un incontournable pour les amateurs de bonne cuisine. Dommage que mes vacances se terminent, sinon j'y serais retourné une troisième fois...
