There exists a specific ritual around the Basin that you cannot bypass: settling in front of the oyster parks directly in the shack of a local oyster breeder who will serve you the appropriate eats.
In this case: his oysters + a glass of white wine + local pâté.
The bobo-chic « oyster shack» in the area happens to be at the heart of the fisherman’s village, le Mimbo, The high added value consists in revisiting this tradition in a more « trendy » style. This means: a feet in the grass terrace with a pretty decor of vintage furniture, nice wines, top notch charcuterie and of course a terrific view on the Bassin d’Arcachon.
The must ? Go after happy hour for a nice dinner at Bouchon du Ferret, its sibling across the street.
