L'AMUSE BOUCHE is a French restaurant in Argelès-sur-Mer. Our team offers a culinary experience born from a shared dream between a father, a chef from a young age, and his son, trained in hospitality and service.
We feature dishes like sea bream ceviche with Ponzu sauce and yuzu pearls, deep-fried egg mollet with panko breadcrumbs, lobster and prawn risotto, and turbot filet in dashi soup.
Our desserts include dacquaise in white chocolate with praliné and mango and passion fruit entremets, reflecting our focus on fresh, flavorful ingredients.
Absolutley delight to be able to spend lunch here. A small boutique restaurant tucked away in the village of Argeles sur mer. The service very impeccable, attentive not over bearing. The review of plat du jour welcomed..paired with the most delicious Chardonnay..voted number 1 in the world and this did not disappoint. I went with poisson du jour et pommes de terre..was heaven. Flavour busting and presentation a la carte standard. We were lucky to get a table during the week. Maybe because it is winter. Highly recommend booking.

We decided to dine here yesterday and was lucky enough to get a table for dinner on a Friday evening. Rsvp a must as there are not many tables. Modern decor with elegance and very cosy with their table lamps from Imagilights.
I took a photo on the menu, it may not be clear. Their menu is available on the restaurant's website. 3-course dinner is 38€ tax inclusive. We ordered à 50cl bottle of white house wine (local vineyards) at 15€.
We ordered the sea bream (dorade) ceviche with Ponzu sauce and yuzu pearls. Its a burst of tingling flavours you feel the freshness and sweetness of the seabream with the tangy flavours of yuzu and the pony compliments both.
The egg mollet deep fried with panko breadcrumbs in a soup of corn with coconut cream and smoked duck filet (magret fumé), was just heavenly. The different flavours and textures were just divine.
The main dishes were risotto with half a lobster and prawns in chorizo and aniseed emulsion was excellent according to my partner. My turbot filet in clear dashi soup accompanied by bak choy, enoki and shitake mushrooms, carrots and beans was delicious. The turbot was fresh and firm. The vegetables were crunchy exactly how I like my vegetables. This dish was heavenly.
Desserts were dacquaise in white chocolate with praliné chocolate and sorbet was delicious according to my partner and mine was Delicatesse Fruitée, an entremets de mango and passion fruit on a coconut dacquaise. What can I say but simply delicious and fresh.
The bill for 2 set dinners and 1 bottle of 50cl came up to 90€ for 2 was worth it. Loved it, and will certainly return!

A small restaurant on a quiet square, away from the tourist area. Don' let the parking in front off the restaurant throw you off, ones you sit down its a quiet, charming place. The food is really good, and prepared by the chef himself. The plating is amazing, every dish is beautiful. The waiter is friendly and helpful. All together we had a great night out! Its a place worth making a reservation if you enjoy food!
