Le Relais du Cap, French restaurant and hotel in Lège-Cap-Ferret, France
Le Relais du Cap is a restaurant and hotel in Lège-Cap-Ferret on the coast of the Bassin d'Arcachon. The establishment houses both a brasserie-style dining space serving French cuisine and a hotel with an outdoor terrace overlooking the water.
The location began in 1914 as Café Laviolle serving foresters and travelers, then became Gros in the 1950s before taking its current name in 1963. The property remained under the same family until recent changes in ownership brought new operators to the establishment.
The restaurant menu reflects South-Western French traditions with local ingredients from Bassin d'Arcachon, accompanied by an extensive selection of Bordeaux wines.
The restaurant sits on Avenue du Général de Gaulle in the town center and operates mainly during warmer months. Reservations are handled by phone or email and are recommended for a smooth dining experience.
The property remained under the Abeille family for 60 years, creating a deep-rooted presence in the local community before passing to new ownership in 2023. This long continuity shaped its reputation as a familiar gathering place for both residents and visitors to the area.
