La Coquerie

Top choice in Sète


Prepare to be wowed: some of Languedoc's most exquisite dining is at chef Anne Majourel's Michelin-starred premises. She shuns menus (fixed-price meals) in favour of what's fresh from the fish auction and utilises the region's finest produce. The best views over the harbour aren't from the terrace but inside the dining room opposite the open kitchen. Book well ahead.
