Meet the chefs

A little piece of Brittany beside Lake Huron.

Café Gilou now welcomes guests in Sauble Beach at The Sands Hotel, bringing the spirit of Brittany to Lake Huron.

Gilles and Melissa bring the feel of a French crêperie to the beach with buckwheat galettes, seasonal dishes, indoor and outdoor seating, takeout options, and summer rooftop service.

In summer, Salt & Fire is the rooftop experience, offering Drink & Snack Hour, dinner sittings, BBQ, fresh seafood, and à la plancha dishes with a panoramic view.

Food and setting

Fresh, seasonal, and made with care.

Good food, a lake setting, Café Gilou beachside dining, and the Salt & Fire rooftop experience at The Sands.
