Behind
the scene
The team
Marius is also an engaging story of collaboration, the meeting between three men: Didier Rubiolo, founding president of the former Stars’n’Bars, Marc Dussoullier, now managing director and Sébastien Sanjou, Michelin-starred chef. Marius is a new opportunity for Monaco to discover a simple, authentic and sustainable approach to food: tasty, generous and accessible with the freshest, high quality ingredients from local producers. In addition to being one of Marcel Pagnol’s heroes (resident in Monaco in the 1950s), Marius comes from the Latin “mare” which means “sea”. Marius is in essence an ode to the Mediterranean and its Provençal traditions
Sébastien Sanjou
After 22 years at the head of the Relais des Moines in the Var, it was time for the Michelin- starred chef Sébastien Sanjou (2 Michelin stars, one for the Relais, and one for Maison Villeroy in Paris) to take up the challenge of Monaco.
Sébastien has always dreamed of Monaco as the epicenter of all cuisines of the world with the most cutting-edge culinary concepts of the moment. For this new restaurant on the port his dream is simple. Benefiting from more than two decades of experience with regional cuisine, he wants Marius to showcase Provence at its richest and simplest.
In addition, Sébastien is a “bon vivant” who loves big “family-style” feasts where everyone shares a multitude of dishes and flavors of the South of France.
