The revamped Blue Bay Marcel Ravin pays homage to life, nature, and the vibrant essence of the Caribbean, serving as a comprehensive showcase of the chef’s gastronomic prowess.

Woodwork, botanical tapestries, and innovative lighting arrangements create an immersive ambiance, forging a deeper connection with Chef Ravin’s culinary universe. The redesigned menu introduces a plethora of tantalizing dishes, meticulously curated to complement the existing offerings. From signature delights like the Monte-Carlo egg with cassava truffle maracuja to innovative creations such as Chicken Madras “Boucan d’Enfer,” each dish is a testament to Chef Ravin’s creative genius and culinary finesse.
To further enhance the dining experience, innovative “food & wine” pairings curated by the chef and sommelier, along with alcohol-free “food & aromas” combinations, tantalize the palate with exquisite flavors and aromas.
The unveiling of the Blue Bay Marcel Ravin also marks the introduction of an exclusive rum crafted in collaboration with Maison Clément, boasting a rich blend of cocoa, leather, vanilla, and grassy notes, aged to perfection in oak vats.
La Table de Marcel, a culinary sanctuary within the restaurant, invites guests on a gastronomic odyssey, immersing them in a symphony of flavors and textures orchestrated by Chef Ravin himself.
