The seafood-led menu delivers spellbinding dishes that showcase the best ingredients from around the world alongside local vegetables, all finessed with solid French technique and a healthy dose of creativity. House-made sauces are one of the highlights, as is the extensive wine list. The open kitchen puts on an entertaining show.

Unique Ocean Concept and Marine Theme: Plaisance by Mauro Colagreco is distinguished by its immersive ocean-inspired concept, with the entire restaurant designed to evoke different layers of the ocean. This theme is reflected not only in the décor—featuring mother of pearl trimmings, turquoise shades, and metallic fish sculptures—but also in the culinary philosophy, which centers on marine biodiversity and sustainable seafood.
Three Distinct Culinary Experiences Across Three Floors: The restaurant spans nearly 10,000 square feet and offers three unique atmospheres, each floor inspired by a different ocean layer. This multi-level approach provides guests with varied dining experiences all unified by the oceanic theme, an unconventional spatial and conceptual design for a Michelin-starred venue.
Commitment to Sustainability and Biodiversity: Plaisance emphasizes sustainable gastronomy by sourcing seasonal, local seafood through sustainable fishing practices. The menu highlights ocean biodiversity, blending pleasure and excellence with a conscious approach to consumption, aligning with Chef Colagreco’s “new natural” cooking style known from his other acclaimed restaurants.
