Exceptional Dining

Situated over St Aubin’s just on the outskirts of the town of St Helier, Tassili appeals to those looking for a luxurious dining experience, but its reputation goes far beyond aesthetics. The restaurant has become a mecca for gastronomists seeking exceptional cuisine, celebrating local ingredients, and delivered with creativity and flair.

At the heart of it all is Executive Chef Nicolas Valmagna, whose culinary talent shines in every dish. Drawing inspiration from his French heritage, Nicolas brings together a skilled team of chefs adept at blending the best of fresh Jersey ingredients with flavours from Brittany and the Pyrénées. Nicolas’ menus celebrate rich produce, from locally caught seafood and Jersey Royals, to the island’s famous black butter and chancre crabs, each dish crafted with imagination, precision, and care.

Seasonality and provenance sit at the core of Tassili’s menus, promising guests a dining experience that sustainably celebrates local ingredients. Hand Picked Hotels remains committed to supporting local producers and the economy, an ethos that is evident throughout Nicolas’ dishes. The menu is complemented by a wine list that includes award-winning wines from Hand Picked Hotels’ family-owned Tuscan vineyard, Villa Saletta, alongside a selection of vintages from the owners’ personal collection.

Tassili’s inclusion in this year’s Michelin Guide builds on previous success, including maintaining a 4 AA Rosette standard for several years and being rated as one of the top restaurants in the UK. With the hotel anticipating further visits from Michelin Inspectors in the future, this could lead to even greater recognition – which we can’t help but feel would be richly deserved.
