A MICHELIN-STARRED DINNER BY THE SEA

The Récif experience at Les Roches Rouges

As the breeze caresses the twilight over Récif – the Michelin-starred restaurant at Les Roches Rouges – the air fills with the scent of sea salt and citrus. The light fades into golden reflections on still-empty plates, and the steady lapping of the waves accompanies the gentle clinking of glasses. Chef Alexandre Baule and his team invite you on a journey between sea, sky and cuisine on the shores of the Mediterranean. A moment to be savoured with all the senses. Come closer, the table is set.

A RESTAURANT ON THE RIVIERA

An unforgettable seafront location

At Les Roches Rouges, the Côte d'Azur's Michelin-starred restaurant blends harmoniously into this seaside setting with its modernist architecture that merges with the untamed beauty of the Var coastline. From the terrace perched above the Mediterranean Sea, the gaze drifts endlessly into the deep blue. At dinner time, the atmosphere feels calm, as the horizon invites itself to the table. Because the sea’s proximity goes beyond simple decor – it’s a primal element, a whisper of life, an enduring presence that nourishes both plate and palate. Here, the landscape and the restaurant are one.

THE SOUL OF THE MENU

Seasonal ingredients, local flavours

At Récif, Alexandre Baule lets the landscape guide his creativity, imagining a cuisine rooted in the rhythm of the seasons, which honours the craft of local producers and the riches of the sea. Every morning, fishermen deliver their finest catches, still glistening with iodine and salt. Market gardeners from the hinterland bring their sun-ripened vegetables, golden olive oil and aromatic herbs. “I want to let the product speak for itself,” says the Chef. This philosophy translates into a quest for purity and lightness. Vegetables often play the leading role, delicately enhancing the local fish and meat. Alexandre Baule orchestrates these encounters with precision, giving each ingredient the space to assert its personality and history: that of a sunny, generous and refined Mediterranean spirit.

THE RYTHME OF RÉCIF

A restaurant with sweeping views

Life at Récif unfolds at its own pace – a Riviera rhythm that has stood the test of time. In the kitchen, the team’s precise movements flow together in a silent dance. The service follows this tranquil tempo, mindful of each moment. Each dish arrives at the right time, never rushed, always eagerly awaited. The sommeliers recommend wines that pair perfectly with the Mediterranean spirit: rosés from Provence with crystalline hues, mineral whites reminiscent of sea spray, and full-bodied reds that tell the story of sun-drenched scrubland. The carefully curated music complements rather than dominates. It blends in with the murmur of conversation, the sound of waves washing over shingle and the soft clinking of cutlery. The Mediterranean in all its splendour – unhurried, radiant, almost suspended in time.

A STAR WITH A SOUL

Michelin excellence meets Mediterranean ease

While the best restaurants on the French Riviera vie for excellence, Récif has carved out its own path, with Michelin-starred cuisine that draws strength from its Mediterranean and Provençal roots. This philosophy can be seen in the details: from the refined plating to the wine pairing, not to mention the warm welcome that makes every guest feel special. Here, the star rewards masterful simplicity, an approach that makes each ingredient an ambassador of the terroir. Alexandre Baule and his team understand that true sophistication lies in the obvious – serving the region's finest produce in an environment that naturally enhances it. No artifice, no pretence. Just the beauty of the essentials: the sea, the light and a chef who knows when to step aside and let the ingredients shine.
