The prestigious Hôtel du Palais, the only “palace” on France's Atlantic coast, needs no introduction. In a sumptuous setting overlooking the ocean, you can expect a genuine festival of purebred Gallic culinary tradition. Diners can choose between a well-crafted, sensibly priced lunch menu and a more ambitious and sophisticated lineup in the evenings, starring premium ingredients such as caviar, lobster and foie gras, as well as Basque produce (Banka trout, free-range poultry, Ossau-Iraty cheese). It would be a crime to skip dessert!
