Arkashon is not only a picturesque resort, surrounded by pines. He is also very "tasty." After all, it is not for nothing that this city bay was nicknamed by the oyster capital of the world. Dishes from various seafood are served in almost all local restaurants. And the ingredients for these fuses are bred in Fishing village Guzhan-Mestess To which you can get from Arkashon on your own bike in just 40 minutes. Tourists who prefer more comfortable movement can sit on the train, and passing two stops to get away at the Gar de Güzhan Menets station. In the center of the village, travelers will certainly discover many pretty and inexpensive restaurants, but the most delicious shrimps and oysters can be enjoyed in houses with the inscription Cabanas. These houses are on the pier for railways towards the bay.
To be accurate, Cabanas is ordinary fishing houses. But it is here that tourists will be able to learn what the fastest shrimp and oysters are taste. Fishermen sell these seafood for 5 euros per dozen shrimp or half a dozen oysters. In some houses you can buy snails and sauce to them for only 3 euros. Honestly, these oyscredo-low-voltage kushans in Guzhan-Mestess are magnificent to taste, even despite the modest interior in which they are invited to taste.
As for the nutrition in Arkashon itself, it is quite diverse. Specify specific restaurants are quite difficult. Just every tourist has its own taste, requirements for the supply of dishes and an atmosphere in the institution. And the financial capabilities in travelers are unequal. However, Arcachon has several places, which, in my opinion, will suit both the budget snack and to meet the requests of real gourmets.
One of these institutions is located at Boulevard Du General Leclerc, 59 and is called Restaurant at Ivette (Chez Yvette) . Many tourists fall into this institution unintentionally during the walk of Arkashon. The fact is that the non-standard decorated showcase of the restaurant with lobsters, crabs and other Seafood At the ice attracts the views of passersby and causes the desire to go and try these gifts.
In addition, the restaurant serves magnificent Homemade desserts . The portion of the sliced pineapple cubes with honey and mascarpone costs 8 euros, as well as a dessert from strawberries on a crispy waffle-cobweet with ice cream ball. From the main dishes, tourists are worth trying a lobster with a spicy sauce for 16 euros or a stash from a sea line on a pillie from a potato puree for 28 euros. The restaurant has a good wine list and decent service. Moreover, it is possible to order a wine in different ways: a bottle, a small decanter (writes) or a glass. In addition to the free choice of dishes, visitors can use a weekly dining menu, which has a fixed price of 28 euros.
The restaurant has been working every day from 12:00 to 22:00. Complete tourists can cash or plastic Master Card or Visa.
By the way, in all establishments of the resort, Lunch service begins from 12:00 and continues until 16:00. If there is a desire to slowly dine, then it is better to come to a restaurant closer to three o'clock in the day when most of the tables and waiters can give you enough time. As for dinner, he comes at 19:00 and lasts before closing the institution. And I also want to note that the waiters in most Arcashon's institutions are quite friendly to Russian-speaking tourists. They will not only help with the choice of dishes, but also show inept visitors as there are ordered delicacies.
Still, crustaceans, oysters and mollusks are far from the only delicacies that should try during the rest in Arkashon. Even despite the relative cheapness of fresh large oysters - from 5 to 20 euros per dozen, to eat only by them, in the end, just get bored. Therefore, in addition to restaurants, balding visitors with seafood dishes, tourists should pay attention to cafes, pizzerias and confectionery.
Not far from the embankment towards the so-called winter part of the city, tourists can detect cozy Cafe-pancake called Season 2 (La Saison 2) . It serves delicious pancakes with a jam or with sweet cheese sauce. The hatching of the cafe is the original menu and the interior decorated in the disco style. All dishes submitted in the institution have the names of consonant with the names of well-known serials or the names of popular actors. The snack in this institution will cost tourists at 15-20 euros. It is possible to find the season 2 at: Marshal Street Latre de Tassigny, 21 (Rue du Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny).
Voiced tourists can look into another cafe with an open terrace on the beach boulevard, 18 (Boulevard de La Plage). Called Cafe Lou insomno And in it you can taste French cuisine and satisfying Italian pizza. In warm weather during Lunch, it is better to book a table on an open cafe terrace. Since pleasant prices and good cuisine attract a lot of visitors into Lou. The average check for lunch in this cafe is 25 euros. The only drawback of the institution - the staff is hard to understand English, and it is necessary to explain in the menu or a neighbor plate.
You can eat in Arkashon not only in restaurants and cafes, but also yourself. A good deed every day from the morning on the main square of the city (Marquis Square) is deployed by the grocery market.
It can buy fruits, vegetables, seafood. Healthy food of local farmers is more expensive than the same imported. Therefore, tourists should pay attention to the price tags, where all data on the product is indicated. In the market traded fresh ready-made dishes. Patty, croissants and salads stand within 2-5 euros. Consider, in the morning in the season in the market is crowded, so you need to get up early to buy the most fresh products.
