Mareluna

The story

Mareluna, Cannes – Michelin-Starred Mediterranean Dining at Château de Théoule

A restaurant shaped by the sea

At Mareluna, set within the Château de Théoule overlooking the Mediterranean, Chef Francesco Fezza leads a kitchen rooted in respect for nature and a passion for exceptional ingredients. Every plate tells a story — one of seasonal produce, precise technique, and the bold, sincere flavours of the south.

The restaurant’s philosophy is built on a marriage of taste and environmental awareness. Fezza and his brigade work with ingredients sourced as close as possible to the land and sea, composing delicate dishes that heighten rather than mask their essence. The result is a sensory experience that feels both contemporary and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Chef Francesco Fezza’s path to a star

Born in Italy, Fezza trained in his home country at Le Trabe and I Portici, both Michelin-starred. In 2016 he moved to Paris, cooking at Le Patio Opéra and then the prestigious Meurice Alain Ducasse. Working alongside Japanese chef Ryuji Teshima, he refined his approach to gastronomy, blending precision with a genuine desire to please.

Since March 2024, Fezza has brought that vision to Mareluna. His cooking — authentic, creative, and driven by a respect for the product — earned the restaurant a Michelin star, a recognition of the harmony and emotion he brings to the table.

Sweet finishes and a complete experience

Meals conclude with refined desserts from Chef Pâtissier Kevin Daraud, whose creations balance creativity and technical mastery. Using seasonal ingredients, he builds desserts of delicate textures and perfectly balanced sweetness, each one a story in itself.

Mareluna is an invitation to travel through taste, guided by a kitchen that values honesty and precision above all.
