The story
La Marine, at 3 rue Marie-Lemonnier in L'Herbaudière, Noirmoutier-en-l'Île, is a modern seafood kitchen that holds three Michelin stars in the 2026 guide for exceptional cuisine. The restaurant occupies a small whitewashed house on the port, with blue shutters facing the boats.
Alexandre Couillon cooks from what he lives and where he lives, guided more by instinct than by a fixed template. He analyses the emotions he feels, looks for a way to turn them into a dish, and serves the result without embellishment, meant to be shared at the table.
The dining room is elegant and modern, and the restaurant describes it as evoking an exceptional voyage tied to the chef's own history. The We're Smart Green Guide awards La Marine 3 Radishes (2026), and the wine list is noted for its interest.
