    • Le Refuge du Goulet, a mountain gastronomic experience by the sea in Vendée

      Escape to Savoy without leaving the beautiful Vendée region; Le Refuge du Goulet is a restaurant specializing in typical Savoyard cuisine. Cheeses, cured meats, beers, and wines come from local producers, ensuring a shared pleasure around a good, comforting meal.

      From the moment you step inside, you'll be immersed in the heart of the mountains and charmed by a lovely chalet, carefully decorated with wooden furniture, sleds, blankets, and hanging barrels. Open for lunch and dinner, you'll have the pleasure of enjoying raclette, fondue, baked cheese, gourmet open-faced sandwiches, salads, or meat dishes, depending on your mood.

      Homemade desserts perfectly complement the menu of this Savoyard restaurant located in Saint-Vincent-sur-Jard, just 5 minutes from the beach. Enjoy a convivial moment with friends or family, between the sea and the Savoy region.

    It was simply wonderful, regardless of whether it was July, a heatwave, or the heart of the Vendée region. It's a truly memorable experience that I highly recommend. We all loved it; the food was superb, not a single flaw. There's never a bad time or season to enjoy one of the best restaurants of your life. And remember, you can never have too much cheese!

    A warm welcome (the lady at reception was always smiling, and the gentleman serving was very courteous). A pleasant Savoyard atmosphere. An excellent meal from start to finish. We thoroughly enjoyed it (children and parents alike). It's a shame we only discovered this place on the last day of our vacation. We would have gone back.
