OUR CHEF

MICHEL VEDRINES

Our chef has devised an à la carte and set menus which make no secret of his abiding affection for seafood and Catalan cuisine.

His finds inspiration in the people he meets in life and the surprising discoveries that unfold from these encounters. Positively convinced that great food comes from great ingredients, he meets the fisherman at the docks in Port-Vendres when the boat returns with the finest Mediterranean seafood on board. Another daily ritual, he greets the grocer bright and early as he displays his fruit and vegetables still moist from the morning dew.

Jean Sannac and son Brice welcomed chef Michel Védrines to join the hotel team in spring 2017. After more than 25 years at the helm of the kitchens at the Villa Duflot in Perpignan, the executive chef decided to weigh anchor at the shores of the sandy Elmes creek for a fresh adventure and to share his appetite for beautiful culinary experiences!

La LITTORINE

THE RESTAURANT

All our tables are round, in a variety of sizes, to encourage a friendly atmosphere. Available for hire, the modular room can be divided to create more intimacy for smaller gatherings.

Open daily, all year round, serving lunch from 12 pm to 1.45 pm and dinner from 7 pm to 9 pm (9.30 pm in summer).

LA LITTORINE

THE TERRACE

From the winter-heated veranda of our restaurant la Littorine, in Banyuls-sur-Mer, you will never tire of gazing out at sea which changes every day at the whim of the winds.
In summer, the sunny terrace opens out onto the creek. The large bay windows look out across the Mediterranean affording a panoramic vista—so sweeping in fact that you almost can’t tell whether you are on land or at sea.

A LA CARTE & SET MENUS SPOIL YOUR TASTE BUDS

My inventive style of fine dining was greatly influenced by this setting. It is inspired by passionate local producers who supply seasonal ingredients using ethical farming practices.

The à la carte and set menus devised by myself vary apace with the ripening of the fruit and vegetables grown in these parts. It’s an absolute pleasure to cook with this regional produce which stimulates my imagination to create original dishes packed with colours and flavours.

I look forward to sharing my cooking with you and transforming your meal into a beautiful and exclusive culinary experience.
