This smart restaurant is part of the family-owned Grand Hotel de Solesmes estate, which boasts a charming patchwork of traditional cottages, houses and manors, manicured grounds and a jaw-dropping ocean view. Chef Maxime Nouail, also a fisherman, consummately works with premium seafood and local country produce. Lobster is the house signature, but the rest of the enticing menu is equally first-class: carpaccio of langoustines, green peas, cockles; John Dory roasted in butter with artichokes prepared several ways. Deft craftsmanship, crisp forthright flavours, a splendid wine list and flawless service: just the ticket for a culinary maritime experience in a magical setting. Swanky guestrooms and a spa for a luxurious seaside stay!
