Gault&Millau's review 2026

For more than half a century restaurant Leut has been run by the same family. Their long tradition and returning guests are the best testimony to the reliability of the kitchen and service. The menu is based on traditional Mediterranean specialties of shellfish, crustaceans, lobster, fresh fish, meat and seasonal vegetables. When you sit on the lovely terrace, particularly pleasant for warm summer evenings, it’s best to take the recommendation of the friendly staff, who will present the daily catch. A good start is fresh oysters drizzled with a few drops of lemon, and tuna carpaccio, simple but full of flavour. If you are dining with friends , share other cold starters as well – a soft, mildly spiced octopus salad and sea bass tartare. The house specialty is homemade gnocchi with prawns in a fine, flavorful sauce, and we recommend trying the fish baked in salt. That dish takes a little longer to prepare but is worth the wait because the firm flesh of the dentex retains fantastic flavor and, served with boiled Swiss chard and potatoes or grilled vegetables, simply exudes freshness. Finish your meal with a refreshing panna cotta, some other homemade dessert, or fresh figs. Pleasant atmosphere, elegant white tablecloths, large selection of good wines, professional service and tasty dishes make this place desirable. Leut sails safely.
