Les Fleurs de Thym ( flowers of thyme)

I recently had a fabulous lunch at a portside restaurant in Les Sables-d'Olonne.  Fleurs de Thym, www.fleursdethym.fr .  The port is on the Atlantic ocean in La Vendée, not far from La Rochelle.

The cuisine is delicious, inventive and VERY reasonable.  There are 3 menus(ranging from 16-28 euros), each with an appetizer, main course & dessert.

Every dish was superb and beautifully presented.  But, the Filet de Thon mi-cut, sauce bourride au safron(lightly cooked tuna with a saffron bourride sauce) and the Gâteau Pistache(pistachio cake) with raspberry sauce were truly outstanding!

It's a day trip from Paris so go for lunch!
