This man-made island – home to a hotel complex with swimming pool and spa – separated from the Mediterranean by a barrier beach is, to say the least, a surprising location. The terrace on the water's edge is a delight, as is the generous cuisine cooked up by chef Frédéric Bacquié, who gravitates toward the fine produce of the Catalan terroir and locally caught fish. A sure touch when it comes to cooking and seasoning results in precise, elegant dishes: wild sea bass from Cap Leucate with shellfish sauce, poultry with girolles and a mushroom emulsion, a dessert flavoured with Muscat and saffron… The lunchtime set menu offers excellent value for money. L'Aquarama serves indulgent cuisine in a "chic bistro" setting.
