The story

Marah, La Rochelle: Seafood Restaurant Listed by Le Fooding 2026

Marah is a seafood restaurant at 13 Rue du Cordouan in La Rochelle, listed by Le Fooding in 2026.

Line-caught fish, often dry-aged

Léa Viano (formerly of Qui plume la lune) and Louis Robergeau (formerly of Mirazur and Virtus) left Paris to open here. Seasonal fish leads the cooking, and Le Fooding notes it is often dry-aged first. The kitchen aims to serve only line-caught fish, with meat from local farms and organic or reasoned-farming produce.

A kitchen without a border

The owners renovated the wine-colored room themselves, pairing stainless steel with exposed stone. Cooks plate and present their own dishes, so kitchen and dining room nearly merge. The name comes from Marie, a nod to the founders' grandmothers, and means both love and bitterness.

History

On the record

2026
Le Fooding — Listed

Hook, line and sinker! Young skippers Léa Viano (ex-Qui plume la lune) and Louis Robergeau (ex-Mirazur and Virtus) left Paris behind to cast their lines in the heart of La Rochelle. Their latest catch? A wine-colored restaurant they’ve renovated themselves, where the line between the kitchen and dining room all but disappears. Between stainless steel and exposed stone, it’s a culinary double act built on confident, deeply satisfying cooking, where seasonal fish reigns supreme – and is often dry-aged first. Then there’s the wine cellar, a pirate’s booty of bottles. Plain sailing from first course to last! · Marie Saline
