Gault&Millau's review 2026

Initiated by Alain Ducasse twenty years ago, this enchanting inn in the heart of nature has now returned to its highest level. Thanks to chef John Argaud, formerly of Ibarboure, who shows finesse and precision in his skilful use of flavours and textures: these include crab au naturel, green shiso and carrot leaf mucilage, an aesthetically pleasing composition that preserves the original taste of the crustacean; tender kokotxas with a Spanish-style hake jus, spiced up with bonito vinegar, chive-lemon oil; and cod back cooked with mother-of-pearl, artichokes, dashi-style camus broth and samphire. A must-try is the "souvenir d'enfance lactée", or the art of turning sheep's milk into a total delicacy. Extensive wine list with 400 references.
