Les Eygletières

Some chefs owe their reputation as much to their cuisine as to their human qualities: Michel Guérard, who died in August 2024, was one of them. Considered one of the founding fathers of "la nouvelle cuisine", admired by his peers the world over, he always put the same passion and dedication into his work, leaving his kitchen teams and family an incomparable gastronomic heritage. At Les Prés d'Eugénie, you get the full experience: the enchanting setting of a gorgeous mansion set in the verdant grounds, a front-of-house team with laser-like attention to the smallest of details… and, above all, c

Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey is the ideal setting for a first-rate meal: the lavish dining area is adorned with (you guessed it!) a Lalique crystal chandelier, and the glass-paned extension commands a fine view of the vineyards. Chef Jérôme Schilling boasts a flawless CV (including Guy Lassausaie, Joël Robuchon, Thierry Marx and Meilleur Ouvrier de France 2023) and describes himself as a "cuisinier des vignes" ("cook of the vines"). His dishes inspired by the Sauternes terroir sport names such as "Interpretation of the 2011 vintage": langoustines, kalamensi and pollen, or "the grape seed": hake

This restaurant is set in an authentic stone building in the heart of the picturesque winegrowing village of Sauternes. Chef Yoann Amado, who trained with Eric Frechon (Bristol, Paris) and at Maison Darroze (Langon), crafts a virtuoso score, combining finesse, audacity and consummate skill. Inspired pastry chef, Juliette Bonnard, turns out fresh, balanced desserts. Tartare of beef and oysters pepped up with horseradish and puffed rice; squab breasts grilled over dry grape vines and Devil’s sauce; feather-light Guanaja chocolate soufflé and armagnac-laced sorbet: each dish shines the spotlight

Villa Mirasol has entrusted the reins of its centennial restaurant to Landes-born Philippe Lagraula (Troisgros and Bras), who rustles up market-fresh, generous, flavoursome cuisine. He is famous for his unconventional flair, precise plating and balanced flavours that are unveiled in a modern, no-holds barred score. Examples include grilled squid and txistora, balsamic-flavoured beetroot and kumquat. Sampling the house signature dessert, a decadent île flottante, on the riverside terrace in fine weather, is a treat not to be missed!

Comfortably installed in what used to be the fine dining restaurant, L'Orangerie is a real treat, indulging diners with an array of options. The most emblematic dishes and recipes of the father of nouvelle cuisine, the late Michel Guérard, are present and correct. Alternatively, you can get your teeth into fine cuts of meat from the Landes département (Blonde d'Aquitaine and Bazadaise beef, local poultry etc) cooked over an open fire. Finally, there are starters that combine classics and brasserie dishes (house-smoked salmon, horseradish cream and toast; avocado "cocktail" and large Palamós pr

Antoine and Coralie met at Jean Coussau's Relais de la Poste in Magescq, after stints in prestigious restaurants in France and Spain. This former café-restaurant has been given a facelift that subtly blends vintage and modern features (waxed concrete floors paired with exposed beams). As for the food, this pair of pros focuses on flavour, giving traditional recipes a creative spin – think whole-roast pigeon, sweet potato cream, fresh spinach mousse and Granny Smith pickles; apple prepared tarte Tatin-style, walnut sablé, hay ice cream, buckwheat cream and cider caramel sauce. They have two ple

The setting, located in a premier grand cru Sauternes wine estate and run by the Cercle Guiraud team, is certainly breathtaking: a spacious dining area beneath a lofty vaulted ceiling, an open kitchen and an inviting lounge with a fireplace… The menu rolls out flavoursome, mouthwatering dishes illustrated by poached egg and a sauternes sauce, pâté en croûte in a tribute to Mère Brazier, roast pork shoulder in smoked pepper or desserts like Belle Hélène pears. A well-crafted, patriotic Gallic lineup at sensible prices and a deliciously peaceful terrace.
