GASTRONOMY
From Byblos in Saint-Tropez to La Réserve in Saint-Jean-de-Luz or Les Manoirs de Tourgeville in Normandy , the Chevanne family perpetuates its tradition for gastronomic and inventive cuisine , producing dishes that are in tune with the times and in phase with the seasons .
A NEW CULINARY CHAPTER
In January 2021 , Byblos appointed Nicola Canuti as Executive Chef . Reflecting both the hotel ’ s location and Chef Canuti ’ s Italian origins , the gastronomic concept is heavily influenced by the Mediterranean ; with Canuti taking inspiration from the treasures of the French and Italian rivieras , and working with local producers from the Côte d ’ Azur region . Each menu features dishes that accentuate the ingredients ’ original taste , celebrating natural flavours and aromas . He is accompanied by newly appointed pastry chef Geoffrey Turpin since February 2022 .
