The Marcel

• A Nod to Marcel Proust and a Dual Cultural Venue
  The Marcel is uniquely named as a tribute to Marcel Proust and was originally a working-class bistro. It now shares its space with The Rio, a cultural venue serving tapas with live music, creating an unconventional blend of fine dining and vibrant cultural experience under one roof.

• Interior Design Combining Vintage and Rustic Elements
  The restaurant features a large, high-ceilinged dining area with an open kitchen, vintage counter, and banquette seating upholstered with imitation leather. The decor includes exposed timber beams, bare stone walls, and curated artworks, offering a distinctive atmosphere that mixes rustic charm with artistic flair.

• Creative Elevation of Mediterranean Classics
  Chef Denis Martin elevates Mediterranean cuisine with inventive dishes such as red mullet served with soft squid ink bread, crunchy vegetables, shellfish, and fishbone jus, or raw Mediterranean Bluefin tuna confit with citrus fruits prepared in the style of vitello tonnato. This subtle yet imaginative approach to traditional Mediterranean ingredients sets The Marcel apart.
