On August 12, 2024, Sofitel Tamuda Beach and Spa welcomed a new gem to its shores, one that promises to be as unforgettable as the waves it overlooks.

La Mediterranee restaurant by Robuchon, perched gracefully on stilts and wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, officially opened its doors, offering diners a breathtaking 360-degree view of the Mediterranean, as stated in the hotel’s press release.

Specializing in exquisite seafood dishes, this restaurant seamlessly blends French and Mediterranean flavors, all while honoring the culinary genius of the legendary chef Joel Robuchon.
