Chez Hortense - La Rochelle

A place full of charms, early evening restaurant and dancing bar after ... A good atmosphere and a great team

Too bad there are no more meals this tapas very good

Stumbled upon this bar, (literally) after a few drinks and found a great atmosphere with kitch fixtures and decor and reasonable priced drinks. Worth seeking out as an alternative to harbourside bars.

Stumbled across this place by accident and we were not disappointed. It was packed full of locals, and the atmosphere was fantastic. The music was like stepping back in time in some European time warp, but it just seems like everyone knows it's going to happen and you just somehow go with it. The manager does the rounds, keeping everyone happy, singing songs, directing the clientelle, dancing and singing and drinking. It's a must go to place to visit. When I return to La Rochelle, I will definitely be visiting again.

Best way to describe this bar is bohemian. A real lovely place with a lovely crowd and a range of clientele who know how to have a good time. It was a real find with live music and a fab relaxed vibe. Worth checking g out.
