Le Bilboquet’s light pastel wicker chairs, simple table settings and woven basket light fixtures make for a relaxing brunch or afternoon cocktail spot by the marina. Cool off with a light and refreshing gin tonic garnished with a fresh lemon slice, grapes and a sprig of thyme. Or perhaps you prefer something with a bit more of a kick like their spicy margarita accompanied with a preserved blood orange slice and tajin rim, or an afternoon pick-me-up espresso martini. 1 Long Wharf, lebilboquetsag.com
