Restaurants

Thirty-two addresses now, from Nice to Saint-Tropez. Not a definitive ranking: a selection that grows when a place has a real reason to be here.

We document, check and choose. New this round: Mougins, Théoule, Grasse and Saint-Tropez. Still no invented “Top 50” to feed an algorithm.

Eight addresses, from socca to Michelin-starred dinner. For flip-flop days and freshly ironed shirt days.

Two tables so you do not choose dinner solely by measuring the distance between your chair and the water.

Three addresses from the old town to the Cap. The view is lovely, yes. We still check the plate.

Three tables beyond the Croisette-or-nothing reflex. Cannes will survive the betrayal.

Mirazur and Casa Fuego. Two registers, one culinary ecosystem around Mauro Colagreco.

La Colombe d’Or. We could lengthen the list to look thorough. No.

Les Perles de Monte-Carlo. Oysters, wooden benches and considerably less circus.

Seafood, old-town tables and serious dining. Saint-Tropez can be loud; the food does not have to be.

Two ways into a village that has taken food seriously for decades.

A Michelin star and a beach restaurant. The red Estérel rocks do the rest.

A bastide, a panoramic bistro and a small town-centre table. Perfume is not the only reason to climb up here.
