Hidden away on a lush terrace behind Cours Mirabeau, this voluptuous eatery, set in Baroque, modern surroundings, sets a fitting scene for the explosive and creative cuisine of Ronan Kernen. This young, Brittany-born chef, revealed by the Top Chef TV show, has an impressive CV, featuring many great French and international establishments. A keen sportsman, he’s always trying to improve his gastronomic performance, hence a simple swordfish punches above its weight with a smoky risotto, lemon paste and garlic yoghurt. His dishes take market produce to the next level.

Candied Fruit
