The story
Perched on the shores of the Gulf of Valinco, La Verrière is the Michelin-starred restaurant of the five-star Hôtel Marinca & Spa, a family-run property in Olmeto, near Propriano. Here, Chef Romain Masset leads the kitchen, crafting a modern cuisine that draws on the flavours of the Mediterranean.
The restaurant is one of three dining options within the hotel, but it stands apart for its ambition and precision. The Michelin guide recognises La Verrière for high-quality cooking, a distinction that reflects the care taken in sourcing and technique. The setting is refined yet unhurried, with the dining room opening onto views of the coastline — a fitting backdrop for a meal that balances sophistication with a sense of place.
Chef Masset’s cooking is the draw: plates that speak to the season and the island’s larder, presented without unnecessary flourish. The wine cellar and pairing options are thoughtfully curated, and the team’s service is attentive without being intrusive.
For those staying at the hotel, La Verrière is the flagship gastronomic experience. For visitors coming from further afield, it is a destination in its own right — a place where modern cuisine meets the wild beauty of southern Corsica.
