    • L'IMPRÉVU is located on the Place de la Fourche with its old cobblestones in the heart of the Saint Nicolas district where the "Paulownia" tree is located, behind the Old Port. It has a beautiful sunny and shaded outdoor terrace.

      L'Imprévu is a former stone mansion, with a beautiful private courtyard sheltered by an Art Deco glass roof; a vintage and industrial decor, then dressed with enamel plaque. A room upstairs (which can be privatized) with frescoes bearing the image of the famous painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec accompanied by designer furniture providing a cozy atmosphere.

      We have selected a wide range of wine , champagne and craft beers . We have specially designed our cocktail menu with its beautiful glassware.

      For the catering menu:

      • House Specialty “Mussels in Papillotes” cooked on the griddle
      • Oysters from the Isle of Ré
      • Gravlax Salmon
      • Sea Board
      • Charcuterie/Cheese Board

      A young and dynamic team and a musical atmosphere will warmly welcome you for the summer season .

      We are partners and host free concerts during the FrancOff (Francofolies Off festival) as well as Jams during occasional evenings.

    I had the smoked salmon muscles and they were better than I could have ever expected. Every glass of wine served at this venue is incredible. A social, vibrant and warm atmosphere is actively encouraged by the warm staff and gorgeous features of this diamond of a venue.

    Arrived before the kitchen opened (- opens at 18:30?), so had a cold glass of white wine (local Charente one) whilst waiting. Sat outside as the courtyard would have been too warm. Once the kitchen opened the waitress came out to advise us she could take our order....great service. The two of us shared mussels in Roquefort sauce and a small charcuterie platter ( two cheeses, four meats, radishes, and gherkins). Plenty of delicious food for two people. Highly recommended. Perhaps arrive early as we did, or reserve a table in advance (- is that possible?), as it gets busy quickly.

    Nice little bistro with a short menu. We shared a planche apéro which was a good size for two and a couple of glasses of wine. Couldn't fault it and our server was very pleasant, she coped well with a fairly busy terrace efficiently and attentively.

    Attractive little bar in a pretty location. Probably best to stick to cold food though. The mussels are cooked at the bar in foil on a hot plate. We ordered Mariniere, but the liquor tasted too...
