Poole’s St TrOpez Lounge nominated for Rising Star of the Year

The St TrOpez Lounge, led by Severine Seweryn, has been selected for the Rising Star of the Year award at the Bournemouth, Poole, and Christchurch Tourism Awards. This nomination highlights the restaurant’s growing influence and recognition within the local hospitality industry, as it continues to delight guests with its distinctive French-inspired cuisine and exceptional service.

This milestone is the latest in a long line of achievements for Severine and her husband Frederic, who have a deep-rooted passion for food and hospitality. Their journey began in France, where they worked in renowned hotels and award-winning restaurants before moving to the UK to start their own venture. In 2000, they opened the Guildhall Tavern in Poole, a French seafood restaurant that quickly gained a reputation for its commitment to quality and authenticity.

Over the years, the couple’s hard work and dedication have been recognised through numerous awards, including listings in both the Michelin Guide and Good Food Guide, and being named Best Restaurant in Dorset in 2017. 

Their new venture, the St TrOpez Lounge, has continued to build on this success, creating a welcoming environment that has resonated with both locals and visitors.

The Rising Star of the Year nomination reflects Severine’s ongoing efforts to uphold the highest standards in hospitality and her passion for offering a memorable dining experience. Her extensive background in the French catering industry and Frederic’s expertise as a head chef, having trained in Antibes and Grasse have been the cornerstones of their success.

The St TrOpez Lounge’s nomination highlights its role as a key player in Poole’s vibrant dining scene, and its impact on the local tourism industry. Severine’s commitment to maintaining the charm and authenticity of southern French cuisine, combined with the restaurant’s warm and friendly atmosphere, has positioned it as a must-visit spot in the area.
