Description

Ceviche of seabass, coconut milk, ginger and sweet potato guacamole; lightly seared wild prawns in Espelette pepper, artichokes glazed in tarragon with a langoustine emulsion… In this dinky quayside restaurant, whose terrace overlooks the port, chef Xavier Audren pursues a bistronomic quest that takes its cue from the seasons and the fish market just down the street. A concise menu, flawless craftsmanship together with lashings of flavour and colour.
