Tucked away amidst villas and holiday homes, L'Inattendu is as unexpected as its name suggests. One pleasant surprise follows the next from the appetisers to the dessert, as diners sample deftly crafted, creative cuisine. Chef Paul Bonneau has a knack for enhancing locally sourced ingredients: veg from market gardeners, hibiscus, saffron and lemon jellies, ice creams and mousses. Dishes you may taste range from sardines, blueberries and potatoes; pearlescent cod, cucumber and sunflower; squab breast, tomato and strawberries. You can bank on a warm welcome and wholehearted enthusiasm from the front-of-house team. A culinary hotspot that is a hit with locals and tourists alike.
