The first thing to strike guests in this hotel, where Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald's tumultuous romance played out in the 1920s, is its jaw-dropping location. It's not easy for a chef to make his mark in such a setting, but Aurélien Véquaud does just that. In a fine dining menu that, naturally, embraces the Mediterranean (think superb little tunny, semi-confit tomatoes and rocket vinaigrette), the chef's origins – the Vendée in western France – still shine through on each plate. Unpasteurised cream jazzes up the crab in the signature dish (a soft esquinado cannelloni, verbena foam and fennel)

In fine weather, the shaded trellis of the alfresco patio attracts diners like bees to honey… Michaël Fulci is a bona fide Mediterranean chef, who learned the ropes with legends such as Alain Ducasse and Roger Vergé, no less… The menu naturally enough overflows with fruit and veg from local markets, from courgette flowers and M
WebsiteA childhood treat – but better! Bang in the middle of town, this modern, stylish brasserie, decorated in a playful vein, is fronted by a lovely patio, decked out in olive green furnishings, overlooking a leafy, cobbled square.
