Remarkable Restaurant

The three toques earned last year were no fluke, but the result of meticulous work carried out by young chef Julien Baradel with the help of his partner, Marine. In this famous fishing port, their restaurant—with its focus on the ocean and natural ingredients—has firmly established itself. And their commitment to cuisine rooted in its surroundings is more than just a gimmick; the menus adapt to the setting and the season: mackerel with cucumber, horseradish, and glasswort; tomato with bluefin tuna, caviar, and vadouvan; mussels with zucchini and marjoram; catch of the day on a bed of garden greens with verbena and chili—this beautiful sequence, which concludes with rhubarb and almonds scented with lemon thyme, is not merely a collection of ingredients, but rather a series of thoughtfully crafted dishes, showcasing technique, particularly in the use of the sauce boat, and precise, meticulous cooking techniques. Fair prices, a well-stocked wine cellar with numerous regional selections and affordable options.
