Apartment in Golfe Juan With Sea View

This handsome 18C provençal villa is perched up in the hills above Cannes. Take a seat in one of the small cosy lounges to sample chef Bruno Oger's cuisine. Breton by birth, he has adopted the Mediterranean as his home, concocting inspired seafood dishes drawn from Brittany and the French Riviera… Abalone from the island of Groix in a parsley herb sauce; roast turbot, celery, shallots and walnuts; a lemon-flavoured praliné and buckwheat dessert. His braised pork cheeks and razor clams with a black pudding tartlet illustrate his knack for meat dishes. A table d'hôte in the kitchen provides the

The first thing to strike guests in this hotel, where Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald's tumultuous romance played out in the 1920s, is its jaw-dropping location. It's not easy for a chef to make his mark in such a setting, but Aurélien Véquaud does just that. In a fine dining menu that, naturally, embraces the Mediterranean (think superb little tunny, semi-confit tomatoes and rocket vinaigrette), the chef's origins – the Vendée in western France – still shine through on each plate. Unpasteurised cream jazzes up the crab in the signature dish (a soft esquinado cannelloni, verbena foam and fennel)

Opposite the old port, the chef gives free rein to his unbridled creativity, inspired in particular by trips to Asia and his passion for seafood. The tasting menu ("Plongée en plusieurs paliers") is a genuine ode to the sea, with dishes like tartare of squid and dentex, covered in rice sheet and seasoned with a soy sauce made out of fermented fish and lime juice. The produce is remarkably fresh, the cooking is spot-on and the risk-taking is constant: this is a restaurant that stands out from the crowd! Their signature bouillabaisse, for two or more people, is out of this world…

Les Pêcheurs boasts a delightful setting by the water's edge; slightly elevated, it boasts a stunning view of the Îles de Lérins and the foothills of the Esterel mountains. Trained at this very restaurant, Nice-born chef Nicolas Rondelli went on to work in the kitchens of Alain Llorca, Michel Del Burgo, Le Negresco and Jacques Chibois. His contemporary, seasonally inspired cuisine teems with the flavours of the South of France and showcases Mediterranean fish such as red mullet, John Dory, turbot and sea bass, alongside superb meat: pigeon, Sisteron lamb and free-range veal. Whatever he cooks,

The restaurant of this mythical luxury hotel ticks all the boxes. It combines attentive service, tableware produced for the most part by Provençal artisans, a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean, and the talents of chef Sébastien Broda. The pantry abounds with vegetables sourced exclusively from local market gardeners, as well as fish from small-scale fisheries and bespoke meats. This Mediterranean cuisine is exemplified by coherent dishes.

This brasserie, run by the team from Villa Archange, sports a modern decor, a friendly vibe and set menus inspired by sunny climes! Tuck into artichokes stuffed with egg mayo, Florentine cream and basil or veal kidneys with mushrooms. For dessert, make your choice from a wickedly tempting sweets trolley filled with treats. You'll be in seventh heaven!

The legendary luxury hotel, which celebrated its 110th anniversary in 2023, now has its own marble-clad restaurant with a superb terrace overlooking the Croisette. In an opulent-feeling dining room where white meets black, the tables set with Gien porcelain are in line with time-honoured tradition of French table arts. The chef's table opposite the open kitchen also draws the eye. Everything else meets the standard set by your surroundings: Mediterranean cuisine made from top-quality local and seasonal ingredients, the calibre of service, with meat and fish cut at your table. You'll enjoy an e
