Dining

The chef, who has obtained two Michelin stars, serves a modern interpretation of Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant was refurbished in 2003 in subdued tones of plum, orange, and beige, while retaining its film theme in the palm-motif of the carpet and the black and white photos of past festivals. With its own dedicated lift and a chocolate-leather cushion provided for each lady to place her handbag upon, this is a favorite haunt for pampered gourmets. The restaurant also has a cigar lounge and cellar where wine tastings can be held.

Restaurant Le Relais - This restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine with a focus on seafood and local produce. With light wood paneling and neutral furnishings, the restaurant extends onto a terrace, overlooking the pool. Open everyday for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (except July and August).

Amiral Bar - Next to the Restaurant Le Relais and overlooking the poolside, the Amiral bar serves drinks from morning until late evening with a club-like ambience of dark wood and red furnishings.

Zplage Space Restaurant - The hotel’s large private beach has a restaurant, which is open for lunch from April to October. In a relaxed ambience of teak chairs and canvas, the Restaurant de la Plage serves salads, grills, spit roasts, and stir fried food. The restaurant also has a bar, La Rotonde, which is open from morning until late evening, serving cocktails, snacks, and even breakfast. Pyrotechnic displays are held on certain evenings throughout the summer.
