We cook what the Saumur market gives us that very morning, with the memory of a Colombian childhood. Nothing more, nothing imported just to look good.

The Chef

A cuisine born of a journey

Colombian-born and French-trained, Marlon Medina opened Masama in 2021 on place de la Bilange. He defends an unpretentious bistronomy: short-sourced produce, precise cooking, citrus acidity as a common thread.

Alongside him, Maria welcomes every table. Together they made Masama a place you return to for the cooking as much as for the welcome.
