• Villa de l'Étang Blanc★ Michelin 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 zab9.2km
• Les Têtes d'Ail 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.781m
• Relais de la Poste★ Michelin In their establishment overlooking the pine forest, the Coussau family champion classic French cuisine and pay homage to the Landes terroir: foie gras, poultry, Chalosse beef, and fish from Capbreton. Regulars will be delighted that mainstays – scrambled eggs with black truffle, warm duck foie gras with grapes, and sole with porcini, or the traditional hot Grand Marnier soufflé – are still on the menu. In autumn, there is roast wood pigeon or hare à la royale: tradition is taken seriously here.14.8km
• Le Hittau★ Michelin 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 hea15.6km
