      Located in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer, on the Côte de Beauté, Chez Bob is a must-visit place to enjoy a friendly moment by the beach. Located on a legendary terrace, this establishment offers a brasserie, brunch, a tapas area, a fish restaurant and a rooftop with ocean views. The warm atmosphere and unique setting make it a popular meeting place for regulars and visitors alike.

      A varied offer throughout the day

      Starting in the morning, Chez Bob offers a gourmet brunch, where eggs Benedict sit alongside chocolate-banana pancakes and refreshing smoothies. The brasserie area then welcomes lovers of hearty cuisine with a menu inspired by local and international flavors. Tasty burgers, truffle pasta, homemade pizzas, and Tom Yum-style cod are among the menu's signature dishes.

      In the afternoon, the shaded terrace invites you to relax, whether with a cocktail or a homemade dessert created by the establishment's pastry chef. In the evening, the atmosphere transforms with a tapas area offering sharing plates, accompanied by signature "By Bob" cocktails, such as the Cucumber or the Red By Bob.

      A rooftop with panoramic views

      For an even more immersive experience, the rooftop offers a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean and the Cordouan lighthouse. Ideal for a romantic dinner or an evening with friends, this space offers a refined menu, with seasonal products and a selection of wines and cocktails designed to accompany each dish.

      A place to live and share

      Beyond the restaurant scene, Chez Bob aims to be a true meeting place . Generations mingle in a relaxed atmosphere, whether it's lunch under the maritime pines, a sweet break on the terrace, or an evening livened up by DJ sets. Whether with family, friends, or as a couple, everyone can find the perfect time to enjoy the place.


      WHAT TO DISCOVER AROUND BOB’S?


      Beaches and coastal panoramas

      The surrounding area of Saint-Palais-sur-Mer offers numerous opportunities for discovery. The beaches of Grande Côte and Platin are ideal for swimming and strolling along the waterfront. The Sentier des Douaniers, which runs along the coast, allows you to explore wild coves and enjoy breathtaking views of the ocean.

      Villages and heritage

      A few kilometers away, Talmont-sur-Gironde, listed among the "Most Beautiful Villages of France," invites you to stroll among its whitewashed houses and flower-lined streets. Mornac-sur-Seudre, another village of character, charms with its oyster port and craftspeople.


      Gastronomy and local producers

      Food lovers can explore the markets of Royan, La Tremblade, and Saint-Augustin, rich in local produce. Oyster farmers in Marennes-Oléron welcome visitors for an oyster tasting, accompanied by a glass of local white wine.

      Chez Bob is thus at the heart of a region rich in discoveries, where each visitor can combine taste pleasures, relaxation by the sea and exploration of the local heritage.

    Pleasant setting and generous portions are what saves the experience a little. Also positive: the service was very fast and responsive, even if sometimes a little oppressive. The manager, a dark-haired woman with a tight bun, was downright unpleasant, to the point that a colleague was affected by her behavior, which made us very uncomfortable, especially since the colleague was smiling and professional. The fries were lukewarm, the burgers were not very interesting, and there was sand on the aperitif glass... We feel that there is potential, but the overall experience leaves a slightly bitter taste, especially when you receive the bill which remains very high for the quality of the products.

    Overcotted. The food is bad and it's not cheap. 85€ for two. 2 Juices, 2 Starters, 2 Main Courses. Not included: Bread not fresh. Bone debris in chicken spring rolls. Green beans served almost raw. Soft, unsalted fries. On the other hand, positive points: Adorable waiters, ideal location and neat decor.
