Le Coquillage

Hugo Roellinger began his career as an officer in the Merchant Navy, before returning to dry land in France… and to cooking, a passion that he has nurtured since childhood. He trained with the crème de la crème of the chef world, patiently refining his art. Today his dishes are a testament to the forging of a true culinary personality. He is now at the helm of the family ship (a château magnificently perched over the Bay of Mont Saint Michel), where he demonstrates astounding conviction and a deep-rooted sense of modesty. In the dishes, home-grown aromatic herbs and vegetables as well as fish (and shellfish) caught in the Bay of Mont Saint Michel mingle with numerous spices from further afield, in the greatest Saint-Malo tradition. The emotion rises to a crescendo over the course of the meal, thanks to a bewitching interplay of flavours and masterful creativity.
