What to eat

Mediterranean cooking with local produce and, above all, what comes out of the Étang de Thau. The seafood platters are prepared in-house by Jean-Claude Archimbeau and his team: Bouzigues oysters, mussels and other shellfish from the lagoon. If you don't eat raw seafood, there are baby squid with garlic and parsley, gratinéed mussels and fish, and menus that change with the season. Some dishes depend on what comes in each day.

The place

It is the restaurant of the La Côte Bleue hotel, built in the 1970s on the lagoon shore and run by the Archimbeau family. You eat in the glazed dining room or on the panoramic terrace, facing the oyster-farming tables with Sète's Mont Saint-Clair in the background. It is ten minutes' walk from the centre of Bouzigues and the cycle route around the lagoon passes a few metres away.
