Jean Imbert, chef at the Plaza-Athénée in Paris, announces the forthcoming opening of a restaurant in the heart of the famous Mont Saint-Michel.

But where will it end? Jean Imbert ? After collaborations at the Hotel Martinez in Cannes and The Brando restaurant in Polynesia, the chef from the Plaza-Athénée is embarking on a major project at the summit of Mont Saint-Michel. For the moment, little information has filtered through, but the arrival of the former Top Chef winner will raise the low gastronomic bar at Mont Saint-Michel. Although the name has not yet been revealed, the restaurant will be housed in the Logis Sainte-Catherine, the former fire station. The building has been undergoing complete renovation since 2023 by the group Mauviel 1830 group. ” We set ourselves some pretty clear specifications. We wanted to give pride of place to local produce, and also to offer the widest possible range of opening hours, so as to smooth out the busy hours. No, it’s not going to be a Michelin-starred restaurant. The aim is to offer something for every taste, and I hope to make it accessible to as many people as possible in terms of price,” explains Thomas Velter, director of the Mont-Saint-Michel national establishment.
