Le Clos de la Marina

Gault&Millau's review 2026

11,5/20

Gourmet Restaurant

Le Clos de la Marina boasts a unique setting, situated in a former stone quarry where the body of water, the cliff, and the wooded areas create an atmosphere that is particularly conducive to relaxation. In the dining room, a young team provides a warm welcome and energetic service, efficiently handling a large number of diners. The menu, which is quite extensive, embraces a contemporary bistro style centered on grilled dishes, meats, and fish, though a slight refocusing would likely help further define the cuisine’s personality. The dishes prioritize well-prepared ingredients and precise cooking techniques, as exemplified by a perfectly grilled line-caught bluefin tuna served with a beautiful wood-fired roasted eggplant, despite a less-than-convincing rum sauce. The sea bass ceviche excels in freshness and balance, though a few more textures and a more expressive sauce vierge would enhance the dish’s overall depth. For dessert, the raspberry tartlet effectively plays the indulgence card thanks to a lovely balance between fruit, mousse, and crispiness. A delightful spot, enhanced by a unique setting, generous portions, and high-quality grilled dishes.
