Marc Salichon – The Soul of Elaïo
High above the Promenade des Anglais, on the rooftop of Le Méridien Nice, Chef Marc Salichon brings to life a generous cuisine rooted in Mediterranean tradition, all centered around a product he holds dear: the olive.
Having been part of Le Méridien Nice for many years, Chef Salichon knows every corner of this iconic address. Today, he embodies its culinary spirit through Elaïo — a project close to his heart.
Deeply connected to the Mediterranean and its natural bounty, he offers a creative and sunny menu, where each dish tells a story of sharing, nature, and the joy of simple yet surprising flavors.

Attentive to the seasons, committed to sourcing local ingredients, and always curious about surprising pairings, Chef Salichon offers sincere, vibrant cuisine — where elegance never comes at the expense of flavor.
