From Marseille to Main Street
Bouillabaisse was born on Provençal docks as fisherfolk comfort food. In Mount Pleasant, Chef Hervé Martin keeps that soul alive while showcasing Pacific bounty. Rockfish bones, fennel, leek and tomato simmer for hours with threads of saffron until the fumet glows amber.
Saffron Broth & Ocean-Wise Catch
Just before service, spot prawns, lingcod, Salt Spring mussels and wild clams slide into the aromatic broth, releasing sweet brine in real time. The stew is poured tableside, sending up waves of anise, citrus and sea air.
Rouille Ritual
Garlic-chilli-saffron rouille arrives with crostini—swirl it in for silky heat, then scoop up every drop.
Sip & Savour
Pair with a chilled Provençal rosé or citrus-bright BC Sauvignon Blanc for floral lift. Sustainable sourcing means your culinary vacation is delicious and ethical.
