Christophe Bacquié
Montreuil
France
Overview
Christophe Bacquié is a celebrated French chef known for his exceptional culinary talent.
In the MICHELIN Guide France 2018, Christophe Bacquié received much buzz by being one of two restaurants to be anointed with the highly-coveted three Michelin stars for the first time.
His eponymous restaurant, housed in the Hotel du Castellet in France’s picturesque Var region, is famous for its Mediterranean-influenced dishes that highlight seasonal produce and seafood.
Bacquié, renowned for his seafood expertise, creates signature dishes such as John Dory, crab, and caviar served in a perfumed cream of kaffir lime, as well as raw and cooked langoustine with coral’s head juice, and asparagus from Roques-Hautes paired with Mediterranean octopus and local vegetables.
The MICHELIN Guide inspectors describe Bacquié’s restaurant as having “great cuisine” celebrated in an intimate atmosphere.
Under his leadership, the restaurant is definitely worth going out of your way for. Ingredients are chosen with passion, textures and flavors are finely crafted, and the sleek dining area overlooks the Mediterranean garden—a true delight!
Bacquié’s culinary journey began when he attended a hotel management school in his hometown of Corsica. However, he soon realized that the kitchen was where his heart belonged.
He honed his skills at acclaimed restaurants in Paris, including Le MeĢridien Montparnasse Paris and The Sofitel at La Defense.
Later, at Maison Prunier, he perfected his craft of cooking with caviar from Aquitaine, fish, and seafood under the tutelage of chef Gabriel Biscay.
Bacquié candidly shares that he had two dreams: winning the Best Craftsman of France award (Meilleurs Ouvriers de France) and achieving two Michelin stars.
By the age of 35, he had already accomplished both. Yet, he continues to push forward, believing that life is measured by the moments that take our breath away.
His secret to preparing favorite fish like red mullet or John Dory? Keeping it simple—grilled a la plancha, adapting the cooking time carefully to different fish.
In 2023, Bacquié left Le Castellet to open his own place, le Mas des Eydins in Provence, which received two Michelin stars in 2024.
