Le Patio

This restaurant near the port has made it its mission to showcase the best produce from Aquitaine: asparagus from the Landes, lamb from Pauillac, oysters from the bay, pigeon, foie gras… Chef Thierry Renou also has a passion for Thailand, and travels there regularly. Buddha statues decorate his restaurant and there are hints of fusion food in his foie gras poached in coconut milk, his sole with a Thai broth, and his oysters and sushi flavoured with aloe vera. His cooking is distinctly contemporary and he pays particular attention to the aesthetics of the dishes, which also appear to have Asian influences. As for the famous patio, you are in for a treat: the glass-paned roof means you can have lunch in the open air or dinner beneath the starry sky.
