Taking the Helm of MUCEM’s Kitchen with an Innovative Concept Bridging Art and the Sea

The Michelin-starred visionary chef Alexandre Mazzia, crowned with three Michelin stars, is embarking on a new culinary adventure by taking the reins of the kitchen at the prestigious MUCEM located on the shores of the Mediterranean. This partnership with Sodexo Live! marks the beginning of a fusion between gastronomy and the world of art, in a place where flavours and culture meet.

A Meeting Between Two Worlds

Alexandre Mazzia, known for his bold and innovative cuisine, influenced by Mediterranean flavors, will bring his expertise and creativity to the heart of this museum, which symbolizes the cultural and historical richness of the region. The chef, famous for his approach to gastronomy, will reinterpret the museum’s cuisine by offering a culinary experience that interacts with the works and artists on display.

Michel Food Truck by AM

The concept of the Michel food truck by AM will be launched next April. “This truck, named ‘Michel’ in honour of my fisherman grandfather, is much more than a food truck. It has become a must-visit spot for food lovers. Marseillaise locals or hungry visitors passing through the Phocean city, who enjoy discovering the explosive flavours of our creations, will find it in line with the AM restaurant. Taking place in this cultural venue, bringing together food and culture, is a natural continuation of our values of sharing and an artistic world…”

A Modern Contemporary Brasserie

A modern contemporary bistro opened last October in a space designed to reflect the essence of the Mediterranean. Chef Mazzia, in partnership with Sodexo Live!, will present a refined and inventive menu that highlights the produce of the region while remaining true to Chef Mazzia’s roots. Each dish will connect with its territory, crafted to awaken the senses and evoke emotion, much like the artworks adorning the museum walls.

The chef has always wanted his cuisine to tell a story and take form as a living painting. This project with MUCEM, therefore, provides an opportunity to give a new dimension to the region’s cuisine, offering visitors a total immersion where taste, sight, smell, and history will blend in an unprecedented way.

A Place for Culture and Warmth

Through this collaboration, starting next spring, MUCEM will not only be an exhibition space but a true place of sharing and conviviality. The new culinary offering will be accessible, Mediterranean, and cross-disciplinary, meeting the expectations of visitors, whether they are art enthusiasts or fine food lovers.
