€€Modern Cuisine
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.
