Gault&Millau's review

14/20

Chef's Restaurant The venue, overlooking the sea beside the lighthouse, offers a rather unique panorama from the bay windows of this large, lively room. We've praised Pamela and Erwan Houssin's talent enough in the past not to question their performance this year. The welcome and service were mechanical, lacking soul and enthusiasm, the dishes ambitious, but not as accomplished as usual, and even the desserts, usually a strength with Pamela's creativity, lacked the usual brilliance. Nonetheless, there were still some very fine sensations, which kept two strong toques in this great and promising crustacean menu, with the red shrimp and cauliflower cream, the spider crab in étrille and yuzu gelée (but why serve it as cold as a sorbet?), the best being the langoustine with asparagus and hollandaise pig's trotter with rancio and the pearly lobster with Toreilles chilli, Puichéric green asparagus and peas, tarragon head juice, two very successful dishes with good work on the sauces. A well-stocked wine list from the Languedoc and Roussillon regions, but also an effort to select wines from other regions, with many old vintages.
