Bar a huitre Jane

Hubby and I called in today for lunch, we took a seat outside, and waited for a good 10 minutes, then went in to say hi, Jane told us to wait 2 minutes , so we did. Again 10 minutes later, hubby popped in to see what was happening, she again said 2 minutes , after another 5 mintes, without even an acknowledgement, or offer of a drink, we gave up, and went next door. Very poor service, and a waste of our time.

Tucked back in an alleyway in Megève, this delightful oyster bar is the sister restaurant of the Bar à Huitre Jane in Noirmoutier in Brittany. Jane told me she winters in Megève and summers in Noirmoutier...Vive La France! Jane knows her oysters and the wines she offers with them. PROS: Reasonably priced, quaint and charming atmosphere, exceptional oysters, superb wine. Jane is most pleasant and gracious too.

Location is quite trendy by the port and you pay for it. Oysters are ok (a bit salty) and it is expensive for what you get. You do pay the really nice location by the port. We had a pleasant time anyway.

Beautiful place, charming quick and efficient pick, excellent seafood, a flat light on the drinks a little expensive but it is a pleasure to eat noon or evening on a pretty terrace in front of the port of the herbaudiere

Nothing to say about the gustative quality of the dishes: really delicious. We ate oysters (servies with algae butter in beilleveire), hot sardines, fish shins (mackerel and salmon). It's a little expensive, but it's worth it. However, we were disappointed that we were not able to order wine in glass, which is usually essential in a oyster bar. also slightly anoyed to have to get up to the table to see the wine list. the waitress (also very helpful and professional) could advise us the wines but unable to give us the price. the 1/2 bottle is at a minimum of 13.50 euros! Too expensive to deguster 6 oysters. result: I drank water and my husband a beer. What a shame to spoil this meal.
