In a spruce house a stone’s throw from Rochebonne beach, rather than a Dutch painter, you will find a chef whose culinary ambition is to unite land and sea (hence the pun: “ver(t)”/green for the land and “mer”/sea for the… sea!). In his open-plan kitchen, he works with locally sourced produce, delivering well-balanced dishes: cream of white asparagus with shellfish and andouille sausage; soufflée of courgette flower and langoustine, tarragon emulsion; a refreshing lemon and citron dessert… Market-fresh fare, sensibly priced lunchtime menu, more ambitious in the evenings with brunch on Sunday lunchtimes.
