- Precio: €€

A tasting cabin run by an oyster-farming family since 1879 at Larros port, in Gujan-Mestras, open every day of the year, with oysters from its own bed and white wine.

What to eat
The house oysters, the Huîtres Papillon, raised by the same family in the Arcachon bay since 1879: plump, served freshly opened with a glass of local white wine. If you want something more, there is a tasting platter with other fresh seafood and local products. What you eat comes from the bed you can see from the table.
The place
A tasting cabin at Larros port, one of the oyster ports of Gujan-Mestras, with a terrace over the canal. It is an informal place: simple tables, tray and glass. The cabin is open every day of the year, and from October to April the family also ships oysters to your home. Access is step-free.
Getting there
Gujan-Mestras is at the head of the bay, about 15 minutes by car from Arcachon on the D650. Follow the signs to Larros port and park in the port; the Bordeaux–Arcachon train stops at Gujan-Mestras and La Hume, a short walk away. The cycle route around the bay passes through the oyster ports.

Qué pedir: the house oysters, raised at the Banc d'Arguin, facing the canal.
