Hidden gem on lovely island

Glad we, finally, found a vegan restaurant in La Rochelle/Ile du Re. And what a great place this is. Very good food, great variety of flavours and fair priced. Absolute worth the travel!

Pros: All vegan, Great vibe in restaurant, Fair priced

Perfect mid-cycle ride lunch

The food was delicious. For starters, we shared scrambled tofu on sourdough. It had a coriander pesto, spring onions and alfalfa. The flavours were outstanding. For mains we had the noodles with tofu and the dhal. Both were exceptional. For dessert, we had the peanut chocolate cake and apple crumble. Again, absolutely delicious. Definitely a must visit if you’re in the island.

Pros: Food was delicious, Helpful service , Ethos

Cons: None!

Best vegan options on the island

Three of us arrived on a Friday evening with no reservation. The small restaurant was full inside, so we chose to sit on a table outside. The friendly staff fetched us a couple of blankets - and moved us to a table inside when it became available.
So best to book ahead in high season.

We ordered everything on the menu. All of the dishes were vegan and the best veggie food of the week on the island. Each of us had a different favourite dish, my personal favourite was the noodle dish. Would definitely recommend.

The saving grace of Île de Ré!

On an island where there’s almost no vegan-friendly food options, thank for for Matahari! The restaurant is fully veggie but almost all of it is vegan, even the desserts. The food is delicious, reasonably priced, and the owners are friendly. Wish I could have come back for more!

Pros: Almost fully vegan , Friendly owners

Cons: A little out of town , Closed Monday and Tuesday

Very good place, many vegan options😄

Amazing place to eat. Even more so given the very small amount of vegan options in all the island outside of the summer !

We went twice and it was very good both times.

Pros: Beaucoup d'options véganes, Extérieur ensoleillée, Tout maison

Délicieux bien que petit

C'est un restaurant. Tout est végétarien, majoritairement vegan. Les desserts sont vegan et délicieux. Les nouilles sont aux oeufs. Cuisine de qualité. Bon accueil, par contre le local est tout petit.

Pros: Majoritairement vegan, Desserts délicieux

Cons: Woks très salés, Petit local

Excellent

Contrary to what I understood, Matahari is not just a foodtruck, they also have a small restaurant that serves a menu of delicious vegetarian and vegan dishes made with quality products.
