Best restaurants in the South of France

If you have time to visit only one restaurant while in Monaco, Café de Paris, centrally located on the Place du Casino should be on your bucket list. This brasserie has been the gathering place for the socialites of Monaco for over 150 years, with its art- deco style and an overall vibe of sophistication and allure. Pick one of the typical French specialties like beef tartare, niçoise salad or vanilla profiteroles, while you keep an eye on who is heading to the casino across the square to try their luck at the tables.

The selection of cheeses and meats and the catch of the day are all sourced at the local market, next to the brasserie. A glass of rosé or a chilled Sancerre to start of your visit and an espresso before you head out are a must while you take in all that is going on around you and make memories to cherish forever.

The mango skewer is the perfect dessert to finish of your dining experience.

Restaurant La Môme welcomes locals and foreigners to enjoy the pleasure of a little tranquility in the heart of the busy city of Cannes. Antoine and Ugo Lecorché opened the doors in 2015 and offer Mediterranean cuisine made with fresh and seasonal products. The restaurant gets its name from the famous Montmartre singer of the 1920s, Lucienne Suzanne, also known as the Môme Moineau. Lucienne became a well-known figure of the Cannes life by throwing extravagant parties on her yacht.
Another yacht fan!

You can still feel this atmosphere of the roaring twenties while visiting this establishment, especially later in the evening when the DJ of La Môme takes over and gets the party started.
