Essentials

Great place for veg, meat, wine, groceries, bread. Also has a fish stall and a cafe. Specialises in local food as you'd expect, but also French supermarket items - which you might not. Good on things like French cheese and pates.

Great lunch spot hidden away just off the coast path. More of a foodie cafe than a restaurant, but the food is super local, much of it grown on the farm itself. Only open in the summer (tables are outside or in a covered area) and only at lunch time but a lovely place if you are walking near West Bay or Eype.
