Chef Romain Gouiran's cuisine under the century-old mango tree
The Revival of a Local Institution
Based in Saint-Barthélemy since 2014, Chef Romain Gouiran first cut his teeth at the famous restaurant L’Esprit Saline, where he honed his skills and developed a passion for the island’s local produce. In October 2025, he took the helm at La Licorne in Lorient, infusing the restaurant with his vision of cuisine that is authentic, generous, and deeply sincere.
Local Seafood and the Market Chalkboard
Deeply attached to his adopted island, Romain focuses on short supply chains. By working closely with Saint Barth’s fishermen and producers, he supports the local economy while ensuring absolute freshness. Here, there’s no lengthy menu: the offerings are written on a chalkboard and change with the daily catch and the seasons.
A quintessential Caribbean atmosphere
Far from the hustle and bustle, La Licorne features a magnificent terrace shaded by a century-old mango tree. It is in this quintessential and peaceful setting, on the road to Saline, that guests come to savor homemade dishes and fresh fish of the day, in a spirit of pure togetherness.
