The story
At the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort, Chef Marcel Ravin has created a restaurant that speaks two languages fluently: the sun-soaked Creole cooking of his native Martinique and the refined traditions of the Mediterranean. This culinary dialogue earned Blue Bay Marcel Ravin two Michelin stars, and it continues to evolve with every season.
Ravin’s cooking is built on sincerity and métissage — a thoughtful blending of cultures. He draws on produce from the hotel’s organic vegetable garden and sources fish that respect the “Mr Goodfish” sustainability charter. The result is a cuisine that feels both rooted and free, where fruits and vegetables from the garden meet the flavours of the Caribbean.
The dining room, designed by Alexandra Saguet, echoes this fusion. Natural materials — wood, stone, vegetal tapestries — evoke the five elements, while custom details like coral-inspired screens and balisier-flower chandeliers nod to the Chef’s origins. An open kitchen lets guests watch the brigade at work, and from the terrace, the view stretches across the blue of the Mediterranean.
Blue Bay Marcel Ravin is also a member of Les Grandes Tables du Monde, a recognition that places it among the world’s most celebrated tables. For those seeking a deeper connection to the kitchen, the restaurant offers a Chef’s Table experience. The atmosphere is intimate and unhurried, shaped by the same care that goes into every plate.
