Le Patio by Lou Caléou
This restaurant centred on a charming patio used to be a wine storehouse and is now run by chef Guillaume Dercourt and pastry chef Amandine Sabot. The cooking is resolutely modern in style and draws playfully on the traditional French repertoire – fish rillettes with herbs and cream cheese; roasted scallops, creamy Camargue rice risotto with Parmesan and a sea urchin emulsion. Round off your meal with a delicious Paris-Brest. You're sure to fall hook, line and sinker for this place – not least for its gorgeous patio with old stone cobbles and featuring an olive tree!
