"Knowing of our interest in art, friends we were staying with in Arcachon arranged a “vineyard and sculpture” tour of Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte – rounding off with a delightful lunch in the associated bistro-style restaurant. As indicated by its name, it is located in...the former laundry which has been creatively designed to achieve an informal and welcoming environment. Between the four of us, some enjoyed the daily menu while some of us were tempted by dishes on the relatively short but outstanding full carte. Accompanied by a bottle of Les Hauts de Smith of course. Service, the menu and the cooking reflect all the high qualities one would expect from La Table’s associated fine hotel and starred restaurant."
