• Nacre★ Michelin In a pared-back interior dominated by wood and white details, Marc-Antoine Lepage (ex Les Foudres and Le Mirazur, Menton) and Adeline Lesage (who also worked at Les Foudres) pool their talents to craft modern, delicate cuisine in a carte blanche menu. A medley of subtly contrasting artichokes (the house signature) delights the tastebuds, as do the scallops, cooked two ways: in a carpaccio with a gin and leek oil dressing and roasted and coated with a white wine and leek emulsion. Surf and turf ingredients jostle for pride of place in a repertory that demonstrates a clear fondness for inventive46.5km
• RafalesBib In Royan, a breath of fresh air is blowing across the restaurant scene, brought not by an up-and-coming young chef, but by a couple in their fifties from Toulouse. Laurence and Philippe left Le Tire Bouchon, their Toulouse wine bar-cum-eatery, to set up shop where she grew up. As they embark on the last decade of their working lives, the exuberant and enthusiastic pair has created a spirit reminiscent of Parisian bistros. Philippe takes care of the restaurant floor and cellar (over 200 natural and biodynamic wines); Laurence crafts fresh, generous dishes that smack of home cooking: puff pastry49.2km
• Au Marquis de Terme Surrounded by the Médoc vineyards, this contemporary restaurant is nestled in an outbuilding of the Château Marquis de Terme (an 1855 Grand Cru), whose terrace is set in the estate's pretty garden courtyard. Under the stewardship of Grégory Coutanceau, who signs the menu, you will taste fresh, modern cuisine that is very much of its time and free of unnecessary frills. The appealing wine list features almost 600 labels, including a selection of Bordeaux reds and prestigious vintages available by the glass.35.8km
• Nomade This restaurant, opened in the middle of the Médoc region by a local young couple, is a pleasant surprise. The chef serves up French cuisine with exotic touches, using local produce as much as possible: the results are tasty. Pleasant decor and a friendly welcome.39.4km
• L'Auberge du Bassin A keen traveller, chef Mélanie Serre (who previously worked with the late Joël Robuchon) has set up shop in Cap Ferret, at the start of the peninsula – facing out to sea (at high tide) or seagrass beds and samphire plants (at low tide). Her indulgent menu is eclectic, with many nods to bistro or even classic French cuisine. Her perfectly executed recipes are often given an appealingly creative twist: she makes a mean pâté en croûte, devilled eggs with leek vinaigrette, stuffed cabbage, beef Wellington, rum baba… There's a good wine cellar with bottles to suit all budgets, from modest natural w49.5km
