This restaurant ensconced in a hotel looking down over the bay has been entrusted to Grégory Marchand (of Frenchie). Once past the vast atrium that serves as the bar (where you get a foretaste of all the details of the delightful 1920s-inspired decor), you come to a beautiful dining space and a terrace with sea views. The chef has created a menu inspired by the Basque region and added a few creative touches in a "chic brasserie" style: smoked aubergine, yuzu condiment, grapefruit and black garlic; meagre meunière, artichoke barigoule, tarragon hollandaise, shellfish bisque with vanilla. Extensive wine list (around 15 wines by the glass).
