This is not a restaurant. More a “table d’hotes” where Yvan Roux, a former international rugby player, cooks to perfection fish and seafood he gets straight from selected fishermen that day. He welcomes you in his house, that he designed, which has the most amazing view on the islands of Porcros, Giens and Le Levant. It’s hidden in a small town near Hyeres and is a true gem. Also, Yvan lets you BYO which lead this summer to a wine extravaganza that only my friend Francois Audouze, who introduced me to this place, knows how to organize.
