The Maison Blanche experience begins as you are greeted at the maître d' station. A commanding architectural art piece designed to provoke and prepare a unique experience. The guests are led into the dining room dominated by the statement of renowned and award winning architect Franck Hammoutène the creative force behind several of Europe most remarkable venues. Shapes and space have been reduced in a monochromatic scheme of white offset by grey. The curtains that surround the dining room create a unique seamless, sophisticated and serene stage. The design is a nuanced canvas holding Chef Martinez’s artistic culinary vision, handcrafted plate by plate every evening with a passion for perfection. With service and attention that matches this exceptional atmosphere your undeniable discovery is a dramatic restaurant, in a modest space in a modest hotel on inimitable Longboat Key.
