La Voile At La Réserve Ramatuelle Is
Awarded Its First Michelin Star
L
a Voile at La Réserve Ramatuelle, headed up
by Chef Eric Canino, has been awarded its first
Michelin Star, adding another string to the bow
of this deeply glamorous spa-hotel in the hills of the
Côte d’Azur, France. High above the Mediterranean
sits La Voile’s relaxed terrace shaded by crisp white
sails…here light, healthy dishes, using the highest
quality produce, are served to honour the authentic
flavours of the South of France. Chef Canino’s divinely
light recipes have the elegance required to tickle the
taste buds, whilst eliminating any tinge of guilt – there
are no added fats (aside from olive oils selected for
their aromas and delicacies), or refined sugars in any
dishes. He is a virtuoso of nutritional equilibrium,
continually reinventing a classic Provençal repertoire
by drawing on irreproachably fresh products selected
in accordance his exacting standards. The hotel
provides the perfect terroir for growing Mediterranean
fruit and vegetables and so Canino seized the
opportunity to create his dream kitchen garden.
Signature dishes include La Voile’s Traditional Salade
Nicoise with rare, spicy tuna, Fish of the Day ‘a la

plancha’ with seasonal vegetables, and Ile Flotante
exotique. Prior to joining La Réserve Ramatuelle as
Executive Chef, Eric Canino previously worked with
Michel Guérard, the inventor of cuisine minceur – a
form of low-calorie cooking that maintains fresh and
delicate flavours.
