Located at Kalim Bay, L’ARÔME BY THE SEA features an elegant minimalist design throughout its two distinct areas: the restaurant level that highlights the art and delicacy of contemporary french cuisine with the Swiss Alps influence and a rooftop bar to have a casual sunset cocktail, also perfect for aperitif or digestif.

Elegant and tranquil, the intimate dining room is inspired by its coastal setting. A light blue palette fuses with dark blue velvet furnishings to create a soothing backdrop, allowing gastronomical encounters to take center stage. The L’ARÔME BY THE SEA experience is enhanced with dining on the seafront seats, complemented by discreet personalized service, provided by the dynamique and passionate team.

Our Executive Chef Yannick Hollenstein was part of the Swiss Culinary National Team that won the Expogast Culinary World Cup in 2014. He was Sous Chef of Restaurant Mammertsberg * in Switzerland when it has been awarded with one star in 2015. The multi-award-winning talent has already gained valuable experience in many Michelin starred restaurants around the world including 3-star Andreas Caminada *** in Switzerland and 2-star Mathias Dahlgren ** in Sweden.  

​

"As native of Swiss Alps, I put my culture heritage into my creations. Alpine cuisine has always meant making the best of what is available in the region. At L'ARÔME BY THE SEA, I include exquisite delicacies from abroad such as black truffle , Oscietra caviar or Norway halibut, but also work on exploration of regional produce as Phuket lobster or various indigenous plants. Surrounded by this tropical island scenery, I find inspiration in the rhythm of the waves crushing the shore."

- Yannick

Contemporary French Cuisine

Chef Yannick carefully balances avant-garde french culinary techniques and his Swiss Alpine heritage to create new textures, flavours, colours and aromas.  

Clever combination of tradition and innovation is reflected throughout L'ARÔME BY THE SEA's menu: Chef Yannick confidently celebrates his Swiss Alps identity with his cheese fondue ravioli and presents his interpretation of contemporary french with duck foie gras au torchon served with pineapple chutney and french toast , Angus beef tartare with torched Café de Paris butter, or Tajima wagyu tournedos Rossini. Also featured is Binchotan charcoal grilled whole turbot served with anchovy hollandaise and caviar beurre blanc and a not-to-be-missed seductive soufflé au chocolat made with Valrhona 70 % chocolate flambéed in Chalong Bay rum. Signature seasonal offers also include Chiangmai strawberry composition with fresh goat cheese ice cream and rhubarb-hibiscus gelée with Tahiti vanilla, giving you light, delicate yet full flavoured ending to a perfect meal.

​

Our Menu Prestige in 5 or 7 sequences are showpieces offering a deep and memorable journey through the restaurant's a la carte menu and never fail to surprise with their precise execution and whimsical ideas.  

​

Over 200 fine wines from the carefully curated cellar harmoniously pair with the cuisine at L'ARÔME BY THE SEA. Our wine list made up entirely of selections from France, with a particular focus on the two main wine regions of France: Burgundy and Bordeaux.
