This elegant dining room near the beach opens pleasantly to the street, where extra tables sit under the plane trees. The cuisine is refined and stylishly presented, focusing on subtle flavour and texture combinations, with a Japanese inflection to several of the dishes. Service is notably pleasant and helpful and there are separate tasting menus for vegetarians.
