A name
of family and sea
Maja takes its name from the spider crab, plentiful along the shores of the Île de Ré in May. The name also brings together Marie, Juliette and Alice, the wife and daughters of chef-owner Louis Richard.

A landmark setting
Ideally located, Maja has a terrace with a privileged view over the harbour of Saint-Martin-de-Ré. It is the perfect place to enjoy magnificent sunsets, right at the water's edge.
Bathed in light, the interior brings an elegant touch of island charm. Once an art gallery, the space has recently been renovated and laid out as a restaurant, offering a comfortable setting. Its contemporary design showcases raw, quality materials, most of them crafted by artisans or reclaimed.

Towards a more
sustainable table
Our team offers its own take on Île de Ré cuisine: creative, and deeply respectful of people and their environment.
Our menu follows what is available and in season, drawing on the best that Île de Ré and the surrounding region have to offer.
This commitment carries through to our cellar, where the wine list gives pride of place to organic and biodynamic wines.
Firmly anchored to the shore, Maja is a place to pause and savour local flavours, and an invitation to travel and discover new horizons.
