With Céline, 3-star chef Alexandre Couillon cooks his island with passion, sensitivity and restraint, and shares it with others.
Ranked among the world's top 100 restaurants, awarded 3 Michelin stars and distinguished for its sustainable gastronomy, the establishment celebrates the cuisine of Alexandre Couillon and his wife Céline. Imbued with the values of sharing and sobriety, as attentive to the marine environment as to the land, and driven by the desire to pass on his knowledge, the chef brings us back to the essential: nature, which he sublimates in his dishes. A creative cuisine where authenticity prevails around the theme of "marine and vegetable", to be savored in a new setting opened in July 2025.
