My 2nd favourite for fried variety seafood. It’s right on the commercial fishing wharf in Cap-Pele, beside Aboiteau Beach, and features informal indoor or rooftop deck dining - and a seafood market. They often have live music on the deck.
Unfortunately this restaurant burned down in late 2023 and plans to rebuild have not been made public.
