The Gillardeau family, whose oysters appear on menus across France, runs this seafront restaurant in Marennes, which gives the oyster course a certain credibility you can't manufacture. It's a roomy, light-filled dining room with a panoramic terrace for sunset and a suspended fireplace for when the Atlantic wind reminds you what month it is. The menu leans into local catch and shellfish, with the chef folding in spiced, farther-flung influences that keep things from feeling too solemn.
