Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, France
From Michelin Guide
Le Pavillon of the Westminster Hotel, a 1930’s luxury hotel and a landmark of the Côte d’Opale, boasts a swish yet subdued dining room, depicted by a black and ochre colour scheme and hung with huge animal-themed tapestries – the perfect foil to sample William Elliott’s creative culinary score. His surf ‘n turf combinations and his balanced dishes hit the spot every time, illustrated by wild turbot, girolle mushrooms, blackberries, spring onions and smoked oil. The terrace overlooks the iconic Canche lighthouse. Simpler fare at La Table du West, the hotel’s other eatery.

Celebrity Legacy and Historical Glamour
Le Pavillon is located within the Hôtel Westminster, an Art Deco landmark that has hosted numerous international legends and royalty, including Winston Churchill, Edith Piaf, Sean Connery (who signed his first Bond film contract there), Marlene Dietrich, and Noel Coward. Their signed photographs line the halls, adding a unique historical and glamorous ambiance to the dining experience.
Artistic and Atmospheric Dining Space
The restaurant's interior is uniquely decorated with large reproductions of 1930s animal painter Paul Jouve's works, combined with a subdued color palette of black and ochre tones designed by Bruno Borrione. This artistic setting, along with a terrace offering views of the famous Phare de la Canche lighthouse, creates a romantic and visually striking environment uncommon among Michelin-starred venues.
