Remarkable Restaurant

Next year, Thierry Renou will celebrate his 20th anniversary at Patio. Twenty years of pampering and building loyalty among a clientele that, in turn, rewards his efforts by returning season after season to enjoy the new menu in this elegant setting. The chef knows his local terroir well and handles the region’s finest ingredients with skill: red mullet and creamy langoustine tartare with saffron rouille emulsion, green crab jelly, pollock with organic zucchini blossoms from Cazaux, violin zucchini and cuttlefish from the Bassin, cockles, smoked squid ink emulsion, cocoa shortbread with tropical fruit jelly, candied lemon with chocolate-raspberry ganache, and Guanaja chocolate foam—all part of a quite compelling three-course menu for €90. An extensive wine cellar with a distinctly Bordeaux-focused selection.
