Chef Julien Dumas's restaurant, awarded one Michelin star, a stone's throw from the Trocadéro: creative, sustainable, ocean-driven cooking. We designed its website, wrote its texts, took its photographs and worked on its SEO.

The project

Seafood cooking, told just right.

On rue Pergolèse, near the Trocadéro, Julien Dumas devotes Zostera to the ocean: marine, creative and sustainable cooking.

The challenge: a website worthy of the plate, the right words for demanding cooking, and images that make people want to book.
