Highlights from the France 2023 Launch Ceremony

"“Tucked away on the tip of the island of Noirmoutier, in the cove of L’Herbaudière, La Marine asserts itself as one of the very best restaurants in France. Chef Alexandre Couillon’s cookery brings a unique culinary approach to the French gastronomic landscape through a unique exploration of the ocean and edible coastal plants. Streamlined and fully rooted in this terroir, the chef’s creations vary throughout the seasons, with the plants gathered along the shore and fresh seafood bought from the Noirmoutier fish market. The tastes are striking and bold, the quality of the produce is exceptional, and the cooking methods – where braising predominates – are exacting. The restaurant had already been recognised in 2020 with a Michelin Green Star for its commitment to sustainable gastronomy.”" - MICHELIN Guide
