About
Le Bénétin holds a remarkable position above the Rothéneuf coast. Large glass walls open a wide view out to sea, while the Rochers Sculptés and the Emerald Coast give the place its signature. It is especially popular for a meal for two, and the light, tides and weather change the mood noticeably. Chef Arnaud Beruel showcases quality produce, prepared with precise cooking and uncluttered pairings. Fish, organic vegetables and French dishes make up a generous repertoire that lets the produce speak. A nearby vegetable garden supplies herbs and vegetables according to the harvest. The wood and glass architecture has a contemporary identity, letting you watch the ocean in the comfort of a careful meal. The terrace offers another experience in fine weather, depending on the wind.
