Aphyllanthe

Aphyllanthe is a bistronomic restaurant offering a relaxed, refined experience that celebrates products of the Aude territory and the Mediterranean coast. The kitchen prioritises local producers and short circuits (90% within 130 km), cultivates a garden, manages vineyards, refuses polystyrene and disposable plastic packaging, and roots its identity in local tradition and creativity to deliver honest, high-quality bistronomic plates with Mediterranean influence. Located under Le Grand Cap on Leucate cliff, Aphyllanthe presents a more casual, laid-back dining room themed on local fauna and flora with informative points about the Leucate plateau. Aphyllanthe serves bistronomic French cuisine blending land and sea, honouring local terroir and seasonal produce with emphasis on freshness, clear flavours and creative pairings. Erwan Houssin is Chef de Cuisine; he and the team behind Michelin-starred Le Grand Cap bring expertise and couple’s philosophy of generosity, emotion and respect for ingredients. Specialties include Cassoulet de Saint-Félix-Lauragais; Roasted farm duck breast with spiced jus; Gently steamed haddock with smoked potato brandade; Soft farm egg pan-seared with Bigorre lard and mushroom velouté; Terrine of Catalan venison with juniper berries; Trout rillettes with avocado and radish.
