Hôtel et RESTAURANT traditionnel L' Escalandes

This White Pond is a small, protected expanse of water inhabited by birds that can be leisurely observed from the terrace or the dining room; in fact, bird watching sometimes seems to be one of the guests’ main occupations. A keen surfer, David Sulpice’s inspired, high-precision cuisine resembles a cruise through the best of Landes produce, which he consummately showcases: duck and asparagus from Darrigade farm, fish from small boats direct from Capbreton, authentic Pyrenean ewe’s milk cheese, citrus fruit from Thierry Dupouy in Eugénie-les-Bains. Meticulous cooking and flavoursome jus and zab

You may well miss this former sheepfold tucked away in verdant greenery with its exposed timberwork on the beach road. It is however well worth keeping your eyes open! Chef Yannick Duc treats diners to spontaneous, vibrant recipes that are tailored to modern tastebuds, displaying a strong predilection for first-class seasonal produce, in particular the catch of the day. The chef also enjoys mixing seasonings, spices and peppers, jazzing up his carpaccio of Banka trout with horseradish and black lemon cream and wasabi ice cream or pairing ravioles of lobster with green curry, bisque of fish hea

In this 1912 villa, a genuine Belle Époque period gem, the fine dining restaurant is run by chef Philippe Lagraula. He deftly blends produce from his native Landes with influences from further afield, particularly Peru, his wife's home country. The tasting menu is consummate, striking, creative and well-paced, marrying minimalism and character: squid stuffed with the first ceps of the season, squab in Armagnac with Peruvian chocolate and Aquitaine caviar. The Armagnac selection more than lived up to our expectations…

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

In this 1930s Basque hotel nestled in a pine forest and given a makeover by designer Philippe Starck, Le Skiff Club is a veritable haven with its cosy little dining area decorated in the style of a yacht club. Stéphane Carrade is a talented and skilled chef, cooking up delightful "progressive terroir" cuisine, in a superb celebration of the Aquitaine region in southwest France. He combines generosity and finesse in dishes such as honey-glazed sweet-and-sour Noir de Bigorre pork presa, sauce diable with pig's trotters, and green asparagus with stuffed morels. Finally, Alexandre Blay's desserts

Authenticity is the name of the game in this Landes "inn" that specialises in hearty, wholesome food, far removed from fads and fashions. The menu shines a light on the local terroir – beef from the Fermes de Chalosse network of farms, fattened free-range duck, milk-fed veal, sheep's milk cheese from a village shepherd and additive-free house-made sourdough bread. An open sandwich with pork shank terrine and confit pig's ears, with an orange and endive salad, or their iconic veal sweetbreads in Jurançon wine served in a skillet: the generous portions are a throwback to a bygone era. Warm welco

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
