New gourmet and convivial address! Clarisse and Hugo, young 30-somethings from Mougin, have just given a new lease of life to the former Pepperoni restaurant on avenue du Maréchal Juin. The establishment is now called L’Atrium, like their other restaurant opening in Cannes in early 2023.
“We like our concept, so we wanted to keep the same winning recipe,” confides Clarisse.
The idea: in a warm, elegant setting with a small terrace, to offer home-cooked French cuisine, centered around good meats, cooked with lava stone or directly on the table, using a small charcoal brazier.
” We discovered the brazier system, which is conducive to exchanges and sharing.We liked it so much that we decided to bring it back to the coast. First in Cannes, and now in Mougins. . ”
The tabletop braziers that are the DNA of Atrium restaurants have been custom-made by a craftsman in Megève. For two or more people, you can share chicken, duck or beef fillets, with an optional Reblochon cheese supplement!
Meat lovers can also enjoy specialties cooked on lava rock: marinated pork ribs, lamb chops, chicken, beef or veal tenderloin and rib, whole chicken… All served with fries cooked in beef fat.
As for those who prefer fish or vegetarian options, they are not to be outdone:

Behind the scenes :
The owners:
Hugo fell into the restaurant business at an early age, thanks to his father, a restaurateur. Clarisse, originally from the Var region, previously worked in human resources. The couple worked together in a night bar before making the switch. In February 2023, they opened L’Atrium Cannes, just after the birth of their son. Passionate about cooking, Clarisse designs all the menus with Hugo, testing recipes and adapting dishes according to feedback. Today, they divide the tasks between them, moving back and forth between the two restaurants. A real challenge for young parents! ” It takes a lot of organization, but we’re 30 years old and we thought it was the perfect time to take on these challenges. Fortunately, we live not far from the school in Mougins, and we’re well supported by our grandparents. Without them, it would be complicated. explains Clarisse.
While the couple are not currently considering a third location, they remain open to the idea of developing a L’Atrium chain elsewhere. “If someone comes knocking on our door and suggests we open a franchise somewhere else, why not!”
