Ile de Porquerolles, France
La Pinède
The lunchtime-only restaurant at Le Mas du Langoustier earns its Michelin Plate recognition through an unhurried Mediterranean table, pistou soup, bourride-style fisherman's basket, grilled crayfish, served against a backdrop of Provençal scrubland and open sea. Guests are collected from the village by shuttle, which tells you everything about the pace of the experience. A serious argument for why Porquerolles deserves a full day rather than a ferry day-trip.
