Restaurants & Bars
"Ilura Restaurant" - the exacting cuisine of the talented young chef features Basque specialties and puts the accent on top-notch local products from both land and sea, in harmony with the seasons. An invitation to settle on the terrace, with this plunging view on the Atlantic or in the comfortable living room to begin a refined gastronomic discovery.
"Ilura Garden" - the inventive cuisine of the Chef also enables you to discover the light and savory "Brasserie" menus, that you can enjoy in the secluded gardens of La Réserve, while admiring the panoramic view overlooking the lush green park and the sparkling blue ocean.
The Lounge Bar: when the mythical Sénéquier in Saint-Tropez did away with its 40’s Basque bar, Mireille Chevanne, président of the Byblos, purchased it… and brought it back to its native region. This handsome bar is the spotlight feature of the marvelously cozy lounge where friends like to gather for tapas or come for a romantic one-on-one.
