La pointe, Restaurant in Penvins, Sarzeau, Brittany, France
La Pointe is a restaurant in the hamlet of Penvins, near Sarzeau on the Rhuys Peninsula in Brittany, France. It has a panoramic terrace facing the ocean on three sides, and a menu built around fresh, local, and organic products, including fish, meat, burgers, and sharing plates.
The restaurant was started by Alban, a local sailing instructor with deep roots in the area, who wanted to create something genuine at this coastal spot. Over the years it has become a steady meeting point for locals and visitors to the Rhuys Peninsula.
La Pointe sits next to a local sailing club, which gives the place a genuine, sea-going character that is easy to feel when you arrive. Sailors and water sports enthusiasts are regular faces here, and that crowd sets the tone of the whole spot.
The restaurant is open every day from early April through the end of August, so a visit works best during spring and summer. The terrace gets busy on sunny days, so arriving early or booking ahead is a good idea.
Even on grey or windy days the terrace is often occupied, because regulars say the rough weather is part of what makes the spot worth visiting. The changing coastal light and the sound of the wind off the water are things people come back for, not just the food.
