Whether you prefer to sit by the pool, in the art deco dining room or in the conservatory, chef Guillaume Applaincourt invites you to sample dishes inspired by the local flavours of the Basque Country, whether you are dining with us for the first time or as a regular guest: Espelette peppers, crab Luzeoise, Koskéra purée and a delicious Patxaran granita.
Studious, talented and a true perfectionist, Guillaume Applaincourt takes advantage of the times when the hotel is closed to continue to learn alongside award-winning Grands Chefs such as Jean Marie Amat and Richard Coutanceau in France, and Juan Mari Arzak and Martin Berasategui in Spain.
His career path has taken him only to renowned restaurants such as: “Restaurant Drouant” in Paris, working with Louis Grondard (Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 1979); “Restaurant Le Chapon Fin” in Bordeaux, alongside Francis Garcia; and “Restaurant Le Saint James” in Bouliac, with Jean Marie Amat.
