On their premises on the market square, Axel Folastre and Céline Mention have brought their vision to life: a bright space with an arty decor and a delicatessen display case (pâté en croûte, foie gras, pies etc). Together, they cook up personal and precise cuisine, their balanced dishes demonstrating authentic expertise – the beef fillet is cooked to perfection and enhanced by a fine marriage of oysters, lemon and fennel. On the restaurant floor, too, they work as a team. Céline crafts the desserts with equal parts skill and heart.

Sheltered from the bustling port, take a seat in this cosy, modern eatery and dig into the contemporary, generous nosh of youthful Jonathan Selliez (assisted by his mum for pastries) who plays on textures and flavours. The fish is from sustainable fishing boats, such as the superb fillet of mackerel, flanked with a maki of leeks rolled in nori seaweed leaves and a medley of carrots, jelly and pickled. All the more reason not to set sail straight away…

In the words of Anecdote's owner Alexandre Gauthier, who is also chef at La Grenouillère, Samuel Pesquet creates a "cuisine of memory" – in it, he pays homage to the dishes his father used to make in the 1980s. This is generous and mouth-watering cuisine made from fine ingredients – goujonnettes with gribiche sauce, braised rib steak, crêpes Suzette or tarte Tatin – that you won't be forgetting any time soon.
