  PORTER

Marée is a sister restaurant to Lielle, but instead of drawing from a Nordic backbone, it takes inspiration from the Parisian “bistronomy” scene. This restaurant emphasizes wine and wine-friendly cooking, featuring a vibrant, seasonal California approach to traditional French cuisine. With a focus on lightness and non-scripted daily specials, Marée captures the best seasonal ingredients and serves them in their most natural form, without being tied to a specific concept.
