Gault&Millau's review 2026

Awarded the “Cuisine de la mer, des lacs et des rivières” trophy in 2025, Chef Kévin Védrines took over from his father as head chef at this elegant hotel, founded in 1964, which overlooks Elmes Beach. The cuisine showcases seafood, with the à la carte menu featuring a selection of the day’s freshest fish or a display of fish caught by small-scale fishermen in the Gulf of Lion. On a reasonably priced set menu for €41, the Mediterranean tuna tartare is delicately paired with tangy slices of yellow beet, citrus fruits, and a creamy dill whipped cream atop a crunchy peanut base; a dish that strikes the perfect balance. Less impressive on the shores of the Mediterranean is a slab of pollock in a crust of sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan. A true pastry chef’s dessert puts a smile back on our faces: a hazelnut coulant with cardamom-scented pear brunoise, all encased in a thin opaline glaze. The wine list is remarkable, focused on Roussillon wines but with a commitment to showcasing winemakers who think outside the box. A summer restaurant, Le Casot, is right next door, where you can enjoy tapas by the pool with the sound of the waves just a stone’s throw away.
