Chef's Restaurant

A bistro and a gourmet restaurant under one roof—and, above all, an extraordinary location at the foot of the lighthouse, overlooking the sea, in a sun-drenched dining room. Erwan Houssin creates beautiful color palettes and pairings that hit the mark, particularly in his land-and-sea dishes, as exemplified by the inspired €98 “Mar i Munt” menu: bluefin tuna tartare with Leucate oysters, Gillardeau Joséphine salicornia, dashi and cucumber jelly; squid tagliatelle with bottarga and pig’s trotter, confit egg yolk with smoked pepper emulsion; beef tenderloin with Collioure anchovies, creamy artichoke purée, and anchovy oil jus… Exquisitely crafted desserts featuring seasonal fruits, such as mirabelle plums poached in verjus with nutmeg ice cream… An extensive wine cellar covering the entire region, with selections for connoisseurs.
