Les Terraillers

What Les Terraillers does

Les Terraillers is a single-location, one-Michelin-star gastronomic restaurant located in an authentic 16th-century pottery building at the entrance of the village of Biot, on the French Riviera (France). Established in 1982 and operating as a French SAS (RCS Antibes, share capital €27,000), the restaurant is owned and led by Chef Michaël Fulci, who trained under Roger Vergé, Alain Ducasse, Pascal Bardet, and Franck Cerutti, and who obtained the restaurant's first Michelin star in 2021 along with a 16.5/20 rating from Gault & Millau.

The restaurant's core offering is a fine-dining experience comprising prix-fixe tasting menus and an à la carte selection (starters, main courses, desserts), complemented by a curated wine program of approximately 300 references including Burgundy, Rhône Valley, foreign wines, and Provence classics. The venue features vaulted ceilings, exposed stone, original terracotta floors, a private dining room converted from the original pottery oven, and a flower-filled terrace for al fresco service. The restaurant is decorated with glass art from local artists including Antoine Pierini and Jean Claude Novaro.

Commercially, Les Terraillers operates a direct-to-consumer model with revenue derived entirely from food and beverage sales at the table. Pricing is not publicly disclosed on the website (menus are distributed as downloadable PDFs); a €100 per-guest cancellation/no-show charge applies. Distribution channels include in-person dining, online reservations via the ZenChef platform, phone and email bookings, and a small gift shop (Boutique Cadeaux) for merchandise. The customer base consists of affluent local residents and culinary tourists, with the French Riviera's international tourist traffic providing a significant demand vector. The business is privately held with no outside funding, employs 9 people, and maintains GDPR-compliant data practices.

Broad incumbents

• Relais & Châteaux: Global association of luxury hotels and restaurants. Broad incumbent: many Michelin-starred independent restaurants (including Les Terraillers and several of its peers) operate within the Relais & Châteaux ecosystem, which influences marketing and reservations in destination fine dining.

Regional players

• La Bastide du Roy: Event venue in Antibes that Les Terraillers actively cross-recommends for weddings and corporate events. Regional peer: adjacent Antibes-Riviera hospitality operator serving overlapping affluent clientele and capturing private-event spend that could otherwise flow through Les Terraillers' private dining.
