-
The restored 18th-century country house is superbly sited amid lavender and olive trees above Grasse. Equally splendid is the cooking of chef Jacques Chibois (see Bastide St-Antoine, Grasse).
-
For once, a restaurant with real vegetarian options, such as asparagus in anise and olive oil or melon with tomatoes. Great for carnivores too.
-
Marseille fish dish of up to six species, such as monk-fish and John Dory. Spicy stock is served first as soup.
-
In front of the casino (see Café de Paris), under white umbrellas and baskets of flowers with the Mediterranean in the background, the Café de Paris is a delightful place for an al fresco meal or a drink.
-
Original early 20th-century decor in a restaurant-bar open from 4am to 10pm and serving regional fare.
-
The terrace of this restaurant-bar, in an attractive 19th-century villa, is shaded by leafy vines and has live music almost every evening in summer.
-
It’s worth staying at this gorgeous chateau hotel just to enjoy breakfast on its clifftop terrace, looking out over the sea below (see Château de la Chèvre d’Or, Eze).
-
Locals sip their apéritifs at the counter and from the kitchen comes simple, flavoursome food (fresh fish soup, tournedos au gorgonzola ).
-
Exceptional Provençale dishes such as pieds et paquets and daube (see Daube). Excellent value, with Provençal painters exhibited inside.
-
Also next door to the palace, Etienne has frescoes, a terrace and a way with Provençale fare – notably truffles and tomatoes.
-
Restaurant price categories
For a three-course meal for one with half a bottle of wine (or equivalent meal), taxes and extra charges.
