Logis Hôtel de L'Océan

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

In a small seaside resort in Les Landes, this eatery hits all the right buttons. The snug, smart family-run bistro, which is invariably fully booked, has been taken over by an endearing couple with bags of enthusiasm. Maud’s concise, regularly renewed menu smacks of seasonal, market-fresh inspiration, illustrated by gazpacho of veggies and a creamy burrata or strawberry tartlet flanked by a velvety lemon and basil cream. Yann welcomes guests cheerfully and simply.
