High above the Promenade des Anglais, on the rooftop of Le Méridien Nice, Chef Marc Salichon creates a generous cuisine rooted in Mediterranean tradition, centering every dish on a product he holds dear: the olive.
Having spent many years at Le Méridien Nice, 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.
Chef Salichon follows the seasons, sources local ingredients, and explores surprising pairings to offer sincere, vibrant cuisine where elegance never replaces flavor.
"The olive is more than just an ingredient. It's a culture, an emotion, a memory. I love working with it as a living material, to reveal its many nuances."— Marc Salichon
