Restaurant Le 21, Coastal restaurant in Pornic, France
Le 21 is a coastal restaurant in Pornic that focuses on regional cuisine featuring fresh seafood and seasonal ingredients from Loire-Atlantique. The dining room sits near Birochère beach with menus that shift based on daily catches and local market availability.
The restaurant was founded by chef Sylvain Belouin after spending 10 years running Pigeon Blanc in Vern-d'Anjou. He brought his expertise in regional cooking to establish this venue on the coast.
The restaurant sources its daily catches directly from local fishermen working out of Pornic's port, shaping an ever-changing menu of regional specialties. This connection to the fishing community ensures the kitchen works with whatever the sea has offered that morning.
The restaurant operates year-round with seasonal hours for both lunch and dinner service, closed on Tuesdays. It makes sense to check current schedules in advance, especially during shoulder seasons when hours may shift.
The wine list features around 400 selections, with many following biodynamic production methods. This level of wine curation is uncommon for coastal restaurants and sets the spot apart from typical beachside dining.
