L'Ardillon

Right in the heart of Sainte-Marie Sur-Mer, Pornic, l'Ardillon is the ideal place to eat, have a drink and enjoy a wide range of entertainment !
Passionate about fishing, quality products and conviviality, our two friends await you in their seafood tasting bar. They look forward to welcoming you !

Often overlooked by tourists, Sainte-Marie sur Mer is a charming market town on the outskirts of Pornic. Walk along the harbour and take the customs path. After this lovely walk along the Atlantic Ocean, stop off at l'Ardillon, this friendly fish restaurant and atmospheric bar, located in Sainte-Marie's central square, opposite the neo-Gothic church.

Specialising in seafood, their restaurant invites you to take a trip to the Atlantic Ocean and discover their tapas. For lunch, try the daily specials. They make the most of fresh, quality local produce. Every day, the chef adapts and creates a menu according to the season and what's available.

But who are the owners ?
L'Ardillon is the result of a joint project between two brothers from Pornic, Léo & Paco. When they were children, they regularly went fishing with their family. As they grew up, they quickly acquired a taste for French gastronomy and for getting together with friends to enjoy generous dishes and fine wines. Added to this was an interest in travel and discovery. Driven by these same passions, they set about creating a place in their own image. So, on 15 June 2021, they opened l'Ardillon, their fish and seafood restaurant in Pornic.

Convinced of the usefulness of cultural projects, they want to share convivial moments with you ! That's why they regularly work with artists to bring you a variety of events, including :

The little extra :
If you're looking for a restaurant in Pornic for your major wedding, birthday or after-work events, l'Ardillon has an inner courtyard that can accommodate your family, friends or business meetings.
