Michelin Guide 2026

"One year. That's how long it took Sélim M'Nasri and his restaurant L'Épicentre to win over the Michelin Guide. From the port of Nice, this Niçois chef trained in Monaco offers a spiced, local and deeply personal cuisine that has just earned one of the most coveted distinctions in French gastronomy. Well deserved!"

"Just one year after opening, L'Épicentre has been awarded a Michelin star. Chef Sélim M'Nasri was the guest on ICI Ça compte (France Bleu Azur)."

"Epicentre: a name on everyone's lips in Nice. Barely open, already crowned with a Michelin star, the place intrigues as much as it draws you in. Near the port, in a bustling neighbourhood, Sélim M'Nasri has created the Niçois event of the moment with this contemporary table where he serves a single menu reflecting his ideas as a travelling chef."

"Soon a Michelin star? We introduce you to « Epicentre », this new restaurant everyone is talking about in Nice. Barely a year ago, Selim M'Nasri opened his restaurant in Nice, offering a cuisine marked by spices. A future address in the Michelin guide?"

"Just a stone's throw from Port Lympia, the spice road is open and promises discoveries. A year has passed and this restaurant is already being placed on the Michelin scale. Naturally, everyone is talking about a star. Based on what I enjoyed and shared on a January evening, it seems indisputable to me. Patience: the Guide will deliver its verdict on March 16, during the 2026 edition ceremony at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco. Quite a home port – suspense guaranteed!"

"A few streets from his childhood, Selim M'Nasri thrives in this intimate and harmonious space, where natural materials and contemporary furniture are bathed in soft light. All tables face the open kitchen: the chef orchestrates an immersive experience, punctuated by visits to the counter."
