Our stance

Homemade, no compromise

Here, “homemade” is not a line on a chalkboard: it's how we work, every day. Produce arrives fresh, then is trimmed, simmered and plated in our kitchen — never reheated from elsewhere.

You taste that standard in every plate — a tomato and burrata salad with fresh basil, a slowly braised meat, a sauce finished à la minute. The right gesture, on the scale of a neighbourhood table.

In season

A menu that follows the rhythm of the market

Le Caribou's menu is never quite the same: it shifts with the seasons and the best produce of the moment. Crunchy vegetable bowls, catch of the day, slow-cooked dishes when the cold sets in.

Plant-forward, generous and colourful: we compose plates made for the table, to share with friends or savour facing the Vieux-Port, lunch and dinner.
