“It will be the showcase that his talent deserves,” said Stéphane Valeri, CEO of the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer (SBM), when he announced SBM’s major projects for 2024. “We’re lucky to have some great international chefs in Monaco, but Marcel Ravin truly built his career at SBM and that’s a real source of pride!”

The restaurant promises a metamorphosis of the premises and the dining experience. “The new Blue Bay Marcel Ravin is an ode to life, nature and the bounty of the Caribbean, with a new immersive gastronomic experience and a completely revamped menu. A veritable restaurant within a restaurant, La Table de Marcel offers a new, even more exclusive experience reserved for eight guests.”
Marcel Ravin among the world’s greatest chefs

Michelin Guide 2022: Second star for Marcel Ravin
During this year’s event at Restaurant Lasserre in Paris, 17 new members joined the highly exclusive club. It now comprises 177 restaurants in 23 different countries. All are carefully selected “based on shared values and stringent admission criteria, guaranteeing exclusivity.”
The Martinique-born chef arrived at the Blue Bay in 2005. Since then, his excellent cuisine has consistently surprised the restaurant’s delighted customers. “Marcel Ravin is the only example in France of a fusion of Caribbean cuisines and top quality produce from the French Riviera,” the Michelin guide read following the chef’s second star in 2022.
