    • L'Écume: a refined restaurant with a view of the Arcachon Bay


      At the heart of Les Vagues Hôtel & Spa, Arcachon's first 5-star hotel, the L'Écume restaurant invites food lovers to enjoy an exceptional culinary experience. Facing the Arcachon Bay, this refined restaurant run by chef Gaël Derrien showcases local and seasonal produce, with a spirit resolutely focused on the terroir. Three themed menus – La Terre, La Mer and Le Végétal – make up the menu, to which is added a tasting formula in 4 or 5 courses, available for lunch and dinner. Each plate is enhanced by subtle combinations of herbs and spices, and the food and wine pairings proposed by the sommelier complete this sensory experience.

      The restaurant's setting fully contributes to the escape. Flooded with natural light thanks to its bay windows opening onto the Bassin and Cap-Ferret, L'Écume combines contemporary elegance and seaside authenticity. The decor combines noble materials and natural tones: marble, walnut, travertine... a refined setting that leaves plenty of room for the breathtaking view of the water. This refined and soothing atmosphere makes L'Écume much more than just a hotel restaurant: it is a gastronomic destination in Arcachon, ideal for a family lunch, a romantic dinner or a special moment to share with loved ones.

      In fine weather, the experience continues on the panoramic rooftop of Les Vagues, the highest in the city. This open-air space offers a fresh and seasonal offering to share, perfect for an aperitif dinner or a cocktail at sunset. 360° view, warm atmosphere, tapas menu and fresh oysters : everything is combined to savor the gastronomy of Arcachon in a relaxed and festive atmosphere. Whether for a moment of relaxation with friends or a summer evening with family, L'Écume and the rooftop of Les Vagues Hôtel & Spa promise an unforgettable culinary getaway on the Arcachon Bay.

    A restaurant that isn't at the level it's supposed to be. Upon arrival, there was a strong smell of sewerage, confirmed by the waitress. We started with the aperitif... the starter arrived! Nothing was served with the aperitif. Starter and main course were okay. Dessert was rather disappointing. Service could be improved greatly. Wine prices are prohibitive. The strong point is the facade overlooking the pool.

    This is a must try experience in arcachon. Great place facing the bassin. Lovely and quiet atmosphere, high level service, everyone very attentive and welcoming. The cuisine is amazing. Very good food experience. Everything is made of fresh and seasonal ingredients, fantastic technique to present every dish eye-catching and yummy. The upper level is reach when you taste your meal. Always surprising, always generous, always tasty and most importantly you won’t have tried it before. Great wines available, didn’t get the place to try this bad Armagnac presented at the service table. But will surely come back for all this reasons Book a table and enjoy the experience
