Gault&Millau's review 2026

On the edge of the Arcachon Basin, this restaurant immortalized in "Les Petits Mouchoirs" offers a culinary experience where terroir and innovation are elegantly intertwined. The establishment, part delicatessen, part restaurant, features intimate spaces bathed in light, looking out onto the sea. The cuisine of Mélanie Serre, revealed in Paris and Grande de Demain in Monaco, celebrates the treasures of the basin and the ocean while reinventing them. Foie gras escalope with beef cheek confit ravioli stands out with its lemongrass-ginger broth, while sea bass, married with cockles and asparagus, composes a land-sea symphony sublimated by a delicate seaweed beurre blanc. The strawberry-rhubarb dessert, light and precise, concludes this gustatory journey with exquisite freshness. The harmony between plate and environment is perfect, and the wine list, though prestigious with its Romanée-Conti as standard, sometimes seems to favor the brilliance of the great names over the discovery of confidential nuggets - a slight imbalance in a place where authenticity prevails elsewhere with such accuracy.
