C’est au pied de la Tour de la Chaîne que se trouve cet ancien estaminet du XVIIIème siècle. Protégé par les tours et face au spectacle permanent du Vieux Port, le restaurant Les Flots est un endroit incontournable à La Rochelle, riche d’une histoire qui a commencé en 1945.
Même si cet établissement a toujours fait partie du paysage rochelais, du bar bistrot qu’il était, il n’en reste qu’un vague souvenir… Le 17 Décembre 1997, Grégory Coutanceau prend la direction des lieux, c’est sa première affaire, il n’a que 22 ans et des rêves plein la tête, c’est le début de la grande histoire des Flots.
Vous y dégusterez une cuisine de la mer confectionnée avec des produits de grande qualité, et cuisinés avec finesse et originalité.
Seafood specialties & tasting menus served in an acclaimed, sophisticated fine dining venue.

A top notch fishy lunch. Impeccable service, good wine that was well priced and my GOD the flavours of the dishes!! Monkfish and sole for the two mains, the almond sauce with the monkfish was sublime. Bravo chef, bravo tous! We’ll be back for the next trip to La Rochelle. Bravo bravo bravo!!

Top notch dining experience yesterday. We had the Discovery menu – it was delicious. Tomato dish was highlight for my husband and monkfish main was superb. Lovely amuse-bouche as well. Service was perfect – attentive without intrusion and a good local wine recommendation. We would highly recommend this restaurant for a great dining experience for anyone visiting La Rochelle. Wish we could come this evening as well!

Le Flots offered the best meal we had during our stay in La Rochelle. The ingredients were of outstanding quality, and the menu was both creative and refined – each dish beautifully presented and full of flavor. A true celebration of fine French cuisine.
The setting is elegant yet relaxed, with a warm atmosphere and tasteful decor that perfectly complements the dining experience. The service was impeccable – attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming.
We were also impressed by the wine list, which was thoughtfully curated and featured a wide range of excellent local and regional options to pair with the food.
A big congratulations to Chef Grégory Coutanceau for creating such a memorable and harmonious experience. Le Flots is a must-visit for anyone who loves exceptional food, great wine, and refined hospitality by the sea.

Excellent dinner! We took the market menu and it was worth it! Everything was so tasty and yummy. The products are incredibly well selected, each bite is amazing. The cheese plate is also very nice. I strongly recommend this place for a nice/romantic dinner.

The ingredients are sourced to the highest standards and prepared with such attention to detail, the tastes are absolutely amazing and the staff are most professional and attentive. Truly outstanding and always worth a visit if you are in town.

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in the world. 10/10 experience in terms of food, service, ambiance, location. Great for celebrating special occasions. It’s fine fining but its value for money, especially some of the 3-course menus they offer.

We had a delightful meal and was pleasantly any the superb quality of each dish. The seasonings were well balanced but innovative. The leek accompaniment to the coquilles St Jacque was truly exceptional. The staff was attentive and able to answer in English our inquiries with grace and charm.

Had a great evening at Les Flots. Can really recommend trying out their Discovery-menu. All of the courses were amazing, especially the starter and the main course. And the selection of wine was great too, as well as the waitors working there.
A great evening and also to a reasonable price!
