    • AT MIMI'S, OYSTER AND SEAFOOD TASTING OVERLOOKING THE SALT MARSHES

      At the Port of Larros in Gujan-Mestras, Chez Mimi is one of the must-visit spots for enjoying oysters and seafood on the Arcachon Bay. With its two terraces overlooking the port and salt marshes, its ultra-fresh oysters from the Bay and Cancale, and its authentic, traditional oyster shack atmosphere, this establishment appeals to couples on a getaway to the Bay, families on a Sunday outing, and groups of friends looking to share a timeless moment by the water. An exceptional rating of 4.8/5 based on over 450 Google reviews confirms its status as a benchmark on the Bay—and, according to many visitors, the sunsets from its back terrace are simply breathtaking.


      A signature seafood tasting with homemade dressings

      At Chez Mimi, the menu features ultra-fresh products sourced from Cyril's own oyster beds : oysters from the Arcachon and Cancale basins, shrimp, whelks, and Basque pâté make up a simple menu focused on the essentials. The house signature is the homemade vinaigrette and yuzu pearls that enhance the oysters, accompanied by bread from Boulangerie Le Bellis (recognized by the Michelin Guide) and an Entre-Deux-Mers wine from Château Nardique La Gravière. Guests unanimously praise the quality of the products, the warm welcome from Cyril and his team, and the remarkable value for money for an oyster tasting experience on the Arcachon Basin. Book your table online or by phone.


      Two terraces facing the port and private use for your events

      The atmosphere is another major asset of Chez Mimi. Two terraces are available to visitors: the small terrace adjoining the cabin, facing the bay, with its two intimate tables, ideal for a romantic getaway for two; and the large terrace by the channel, evolving into a lounge-style oyster bar, where, with the ebb and flow of the tides, you can watch the oyster farmers' traditional fishing boats. In winter, groups and companies can reserve the cabin for private events in a unique setting on the Arcachon Bay.

      Open every day except Tuesday, lunchtime (11am-3:30pm) and dinnertime (6pm-9:30pm).

    A short walk to the end of the esplanade, and not just for the view, will lead you to a hidden gem. I recommend the oysters from Mont Saint-Michel to discover new flavors. (Size 1 is very large, not for the faint of heart!) The advice, smiles, and warm welcome from the multilingual waitress are well worth the trip. Looking forward to returning. Second visit... just as enjoyable as ever. And the orange paint job is a real success. See you very soon for an evening out this time.
