  • 1. Chantecler

    $$$$ | Promenade

    Long a showplace for Riviera luxury, the Negresco is replete with Régence-fashion salons decked out with 18th-century wood boiserie and Aubusson carpets. Its main dining room, the Michelin-star Chantecler, has been playing musical chefs for the past few years and currently features a new-generation culinary artist, Virginie Basselot, and her selections of impressive haute cuisine. In the cave, there are 15,000 bottles (if you're counting).

  • 2. Cosmo Bar

    $$$

    Facing the Cocteau chapel with an enviable view of the sea from its terrace, this modern brasserie could easily get away with being merely mediocre. Instead, it serves fresh, colorful Mediterranean dishes ranging from an addictive anchoïade—crudités with anchovy dip—to omelets. It's a favorite of English-speaking expats, and it's easy to understand why, since it brings together all the ingredients that make for a casual yet memorable meal on the French Riviera. Book online ahead to be sure of securing a coveted terrace table.

  • 3. La Reserve

    $$$$

    This Michelin-starred hotel restaurant—a marvel of light and color—has been a crown jewel of the Mediterranean since it opened in 1880. Chef Julien Roucheteau uses fresh Mediterranean ingredients in original takes on classic dishes like langoustine tails roasted in hazelnut butter, and the four- (€165) and six-course (€195) set menus are a better value than ordering à la carte. The chandelier-bedecked salon is lined with bay windows that offer views of a watery nirvana. Reserve well in advance in summer, and, if you can swing it, spend a night at the hotel if only to use the sea-side pool.
