Chez Boulan
About
Nestled on the picturesque coast of Cap Ferret, Chez Boulan has been delighting visitors with its unique oyster selections since 1958. The briny flavors of the local Ferret Capienne and the award‑winning Special Boulan are showcased on an intimate terrace that offers sweeping views of the Dune du Pyla and the tranquil lake. In addition to an extensive range of oysters, the menu features freshly harvested shrimp, bulots, and a selection of handcrafted pâtés and wines sourced from nearby vineyards. At Chez Boulan, the emphasis is on quality and sustainability. Each oyster is carefully selected and often polished by the staff before being presented, ensuring a consistent taste profile that has earned multiple medals in national agricultural contests. The restaurant also offers a rotating selection of side dishes completed with homemade butter, fresh bread from the local bakery, and a curated selection of natural wines. Guests can enjoy on‑site tasting or opt for takeaway delivery. The inclusive ambiance, friendly staff, and the ever‑present ocean breeze combine to make Chez Boulan a must‑visit destination for lovers of fresh seafood and relaxed coastal charm.
