L'escale Bleue sur Collioure

26/01/2026: Le 5ème Péché is an outstanding gastronomic experience and truly one of Collioure’s must-visit restaurants. Intimate, creative, and beautifully executed, it offers a dining experience that feels both personal and exceptional. The cuisine is a refined fusion of local Roussillon ingredients and Japanese techniques, led by Chef Masashi Iijima. Each dish is thoughtful, elegant, and full of subtle flavor. Standout creations such as the apple-wasabi millefeuille and the langoustine carpaccio with truffle oil and wakame are both original and perfectly balanced. Many courses easily rival those of Michelin-starred restaurants. The restaurant often offers a set tasting menu, which ensures the absolute freshness of ingredients — especially the locally sourced fish — and allows the kitchen’s creativity to shine. With only a small number of tables and an open kitchen, the atmosphere is calm, intimate, and engaging, letting guests appreciate the precision and focus behind each dish. Service is warm, gentle, and professional, adding to the relaxed and welcoming feel of the evening. Every detail is handled with care, making the experience feel seamless from start to finish. Le 5ème Péché is more than a meal — it’s a carefully crafted culinary journey. A true gem for anyone who appreciates refined flavors, creativity, and an intimate dining setting.

25/01/2026: A wonderful discovery! We had lunch at the restaurant, the set menu, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, refined, and delicious! We especially loved the cocktail (a reimagined Gin Fizz with ginger), which was perfectly balanced, as well as the dessert (a matcha green tea pavlova with bean paste, lemon, and sorbet) which truly transported us. We'll be back to try the dinner menu!
