The story
At Le Goût du Large, Chef Jonathan Selliez channels the raw energy of the Normandy littoral into a refined, personal cuisine. The restaurant’s name — “The Taste of the Open Sea” — sets the tone: each dish responds to the vertical chalk cliffs, the shifting light over the Channel, and the daily catch from local fishermen. This is modern French cuisine that feels both alive and deliberate.
Selliez works with an ever-changing blind tasting menu, driven entirely by the season and by what the surrounding terroir offers. Produce comes from local market gardeners, seafood is ultra-fresh, and every plate balances precision cooking with clear, uncluttered flavors. The approach is contemporary French gastronomy at its most honest — technique in service of emotion, never the other way around.
The restaurant itself sits in Le Tréport’s historic centre, with a terrace open in warmer months. The atmosphere is calm and unhurried, designed to let the food speak. Textures, temperature, and subtle associations unfold course by course, each telling a fragment of the region’s story. Diners are invited to trust the chef’s vision — a meal here is a voyage without a map, guided only by taste and the rhythm of the sea.
Le Goût du Large earned a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026, a recognition of Selliez’s precise, sensitive cooking and his deep connection to place. The restaurant is fully wheelchair accessible and welcomes guests who appreciate a genuinely local, ingredient-led experience.
