Face a New York is a restaurant at Pontaillac Beach in Royan with floor-to-ceiling windows running across the dining space. The venue holds hundreds of guests in a fully air-conditioned interior, with the expansive glass walls framing ocean and beach views throughout the room.
The restaurant opened in 2013 at the Esplanade de Pontaillac, introducing international fusion cuisine to this beach area of Royan. Since then it has become a meeting point for different culinary approaches along the waterfront.
The name comes from how the ocean views resemble a city skyline across the water. Diners experience this interplay between coastal French life and an urban-inspired setting as they sit by the windows.
