This is a fantastic and highly recommended French / Catalan restaurant located in Argeles Village and about a 12 minute walk from Villa Failte. It is relatively expensive (about 40 Euros per head before drink) but not in terms of the quality and dining experience it offers.
We have had an evening meal there on several occasions and have NEVER been disappointed. The food is a delight and the wine list full of local and regional produce. Stephanie is a great hostess and will explain / recommend in perfect French or English. We have always chosen the set menu (everyone else seems to do this also !) which usually consists of 3 courses with 1 or 2 smaller surprise dishes in between !!
On the website the introduction reads :
Welcome to La Bartavelle ... innovative cuisine restaurant.
Situated in the heart of the village Argèles sur Mer, La Bartavelle serves Mediterranean-inspired cuisine mixing Catalan gastronomy and creativity, never compromising product quality.
Thibaut Lesage and Rémi Parageau play their part in the kitchen, while Stéphanie Hug welcomes and advises you, the guest: a trio of chefs and pastry chefs for whom the only motto is the eternal pleasure found in the dish...
You are welcome to visit us any day from Tuesday to Saturday for lunch or dinner (from 12:15-1:15pm and from 7:30-9:15pm).
Dress code is relaxed ... smart or casual. Only other thing we would say is ... book in advance the restaurant is fairly small and intimate and frequently fully booked.
