Marea Rooftop

About Marea Rooftop

French and Mediterranean cooking is the draw here, plated with the kind of precision the $$$$ band implies and served at table from a rooftop above Boulevard Jean Hibert, at the edge of the Old Port. Doors open at 5pm daily and close at 11, which makes the early evening the whole point — the sunset stretch, lounge and deep house kept low enough to talk over, valet handling the arrival. Friday and Saturday fill first and book out furthest ahead, drawing couples, visiting Europeans, Middle Eastern regulars and Cannes locals alongside a corporate contingent, mostly in the 25-45 range. Smart casual is enforced with a light touch, but this is not a place to turn up in beachwear. The season runs April through October, and a 4.6 rating across some 890 reviews suggests the kitchen holds its standard through it.
