MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Two Stars: Excellent cooking

In this 1930s Basque hotel nestled in a pine forest and given a makeover by designer Philippe Starck, Le Skiff Club is a veritable haven with its cosy little dining area decorated in the style of a yacht club. Stéphane Carrade is a talented and skilled chef, cooking up delightful "progressive terroir" cuisine, in a superb celebration of the Aquitaine region in southwest France. He combines generosity and finesse in dishes such as honey-glazed sweet-and-sour Noir de Bigorre pork presa, sauce diable with pig's trotters, and green asparagus with stuffed morels. Finally, Alexandre Blay's desserts are the icing on the cake: his Mexican vanilla, crème brûlée and jumbo grapes with JM rum, caramelised gavotte, ice cream and zephyr with roasted pods is at the intersection of finesse and originality.

Gastronomy & Sustainability

MICHELIN Green Star

"Faithful to our guidelines, which advocates "progressive terroir", as much as possible we work with the small producers of our region – local fish, vegetables, herbs, whole animals, while favouring the finest produce. Quality, tasty and as natural as possible. The chef drives in a 100% electric car and fetches certain supplies himself, such as vegetables grown in Biscarrosse. We plan to create a pig farm in order to recycle our green waste."
