OUR STORy
The Conviction
Aleia began with a simple belief: that live flame transforms ingredients in ways no modern oven can replicate. Founded in 2019 by Chef Margaux Delacroix, our kitchen was built around a custom hearth that burns oak and fruitwood.
The Coast
Every morning, we source within 80 miles of the harbor. What the coast offers, we serve. What the fire demands, we honor. The menu shifts with the tides and the harvest.
The Evening
Every course is built to be unhurried. We seat thirty guests each evening across two sittings, and we mean every one of them to feel the warmth. No rush. No shortcuts.
Flavor meets fire. Crafted to ignite.
A masterpiece of culinary design, featuring premium, dry-aged ribeye seared to perfection over an open flame. Our innovative preparation technique locks in juices and creates a charred, smoky crust that seamlessly blends high-heat intensity with the refined, tender character of the cut.

The CRAFT
The Plate.
Each course arrives as a small composition — color, texture, and smoke balanced on handmade ceramics from the harbor district. Nothing is rushed. Everything is considered.

THE FINALE
The Garden.
Night air, herbs growing in terra cotta, and the sound of the ocean. The garden is where the evening lingers — where time slows and memories are made.
