Remarkable Restaurant
L'Oursin, a name that pays tribute to Chef Ilane Tinchant’s passion for the Mediterranean Sea. Nestled in the heart of the newly opened Hôtel Bleu in Carry-le-Rouet, the restaurant boasts a bright, modern setting that opens onto the sea, perfectly suited to showcasing the treasures of the Mediterranean. For the past two years, the chef has been evolving his cuisine around a maritime theme, and a clear progression was evident during this latest visit: the dishes are now more straightforward, more refined, and above all, more impactful. The menu served that day offered a compelling glimpse of this: wild Mediterranean prawns, bottarga from Martigues, sea fennel, and a dish featuring cuttlefish in various textures—confit in its own ink and enhanced with a roasted garlic cream—in a version that was noticeably more refined than in the early days. In the dining room, the service is playful and cheerful, fully embracing this maritime immersion, with a fluidity that continues to improve, led by a young sommelier driven by a genuine desire to excel and already offering some excellent suggestions. The wine list still needs a few more years to gain depth. Something is undeniably happening here: a cuisine that’s evolving—more accessible and assertive—gaining maturity and precision, and a restaurant that now cuts a fine figure with its contemporary interpretation of Mediterranean cuisine.
