La Maison de Mézos

In a village set deep within the Landes forest, this restaurant boasts a façade with the red shutters that are so emblematic of the region. A fragrant pergola covered in jasmine leads to a charming covered terrace with mismatched furniture. Inside, the atmosphere is that of a rustic-style country house. The chef, who has gained a wealth of experience from his travels, rustles up cuisine that very much captures the zeitgeist, infused with creative details such as a lemon and caper ice cream to accompany the veal confit with tonnato sauce, or a mussel and red curry mayonnaise on the trout and peas.
