TASTE THE SERENITY OF THE OCEAN AND THE SENSUALITY OF THE LOCAL CUISINE

Île Restaurant is rooted in product-driven cuisine, celebrating local ingredients that become the true protagonists of each dish. We work exclusively with fresh, healthier, and premium-quality foods. These products reach our kitchen with fewer preservatives and greater flavor intensity, precisely because they do not travel long distances. More flavor, more health, and above all, genuine appreciation of local producers.

 

Our Story

Île Restaurant was born from inspiration drawn from the essence of Ilhabela, a paradise where the sea meets exceptional gastronomy.
The name, which means “island” in French, honors the journey of the renowned Chef Tonhão, a beloved figure and a reference in local cuisine.

​

Passionate about the flavors of his homeland, the chef embarked on a journey of refinement in France, where he expanded his techniques and discovered new ways to celebrate ingredients with sophistication and authenticity.

From this experience emerged the concept of Île: combining the lightness and freshness of Caiçara cuisine with the refinement of French gastronomy.

​

Even while currently residing in France, Chef Tonhão remains the soul and inspiration of this restaurant, a place that honors its roots and invites guests and visitors to enjoy the best of two worlds, with charm, warmth, and elegance.
