€28/48; lunch Wed-Sun, dinner Tue-Sat; )
This gourmet restaurant, perched dramat-
ically at the edge of the village on a panoramic terrace, is a stylish choice. Waiters wear
formal black, and mains (huge pieces of meat or whole fish for two, delicate fish fillets in
hollandaise sauce or spinach and basil olive oil) come hidden beneath silver domed plat-
ters.
In winter, guests lunch or dine in the minimalist dining room with its contemporary
fireplace. The lunch menu, including a half-bottle of wine, is good value.

Fraise et Chocolat
(Strawberry and Chocolate) is a lovely cafe with an old-fashioned-deli feel. Stop for a
drink, an ice cream or a quick bite (sandwiches and quiches). There are two terraces, in-
cluding one with sweeping sea views at the back.
