Initially established in 1983 by Jacques Le Divellec who had an insightful knowledge on maritime cuisine, the Parisian restaurant quickly grew into one of the most beloved seafood spaces in the heart of the capital of France.

Adhering to very exclusive circles of socialites and political figures of extreme importance, such as the President of the Republic, François Mitterrand, Le Divellec provided dishes that “would embody the oceanic without ever treading water.”

With a strong desire and ambition to revive this legendary venue that had been out of business for a couple of years, the accomplished trio of owners completely reinvented the sea restaurant, from decoration to menu, to layout and dynamics of the space, thus becoming a more alluring location for all sorts of crowds, imbuing a touch of modernity and urbanity.

“Divellec is about the sea. When I took the restaurant with Isabelle Saglio and Philippe Grach, I had the immediate desire to involve my father in the menu’s construction. His Breton heart spoke and he accepted. I enjoy working together on the dishes like we did at l’Ambroisie, the family restaurant. I like the idea of a father and son adventure!” – Mathieu Pacaud
