1. La Table du Mareyeur
$$$$ | |Ewan and Caroline Scutcher haven’t left Port Grimaud since they married here nearly 36 years ago and set up this waterside gem, now considered one of the Riviera's finest restaurants. In a fun and relaxed atmosphere, they offer the freshest fish and seafood on the coast; certainly the politicians, royalty, and film stars (think Leonardo DiCaprio) who dine portside here among the locals don't complain. Selection is simple, uncomplicated, and the lunch menu—served on market days, Thursday and Sunday between mid-June and mid-September—is a deal at €26 with wine and coffee included. Avoid traffic and ask Le Table to arrange for a water taxi when you make a reservation.
10–11 pl. des Artisans, Port Grimaud, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 83315, France04–94–56–06–77Known For
- Meaty oysters perfect for slurping
- Summertime lunch menu that's quite a deal

2. Mirazur
$$$$ | |Chef Mauro Colagreco—who learned his craft in Latin America before working with the likes of Bernard Loiseau in Burgundy and both Alain Passard and Alain Ducasse in Paris—now helms this innovative establishment, which has garnered three Michelin stars and is frequently cited as the world's best restaurant. Colagreco is one of the young chefs whose style has been dubbed la jeune cuisine—for him, the plate is a palette, and each of the ingredients, which are often gathered from the on-site vegetable garden, has its precise place and significance. The airy dining room overlooking a cascading garden and the sea on Menton's outer edge is the ideal setting for Colagresco's expressive (and expensive!) cooking; the €450/person menu featuring roots, leaves, flowers, and fruits is particularly intense. In 2023, a glassed-enclosed kitchen was added, as was La Puerta, a space adjacent to the restaurant that offers a more intimate experience. Can't get a reservation? Don't fret. Colagreco is everywhere, from BFire in Cannes to the Riviera in Roquebrune, an over-the-top (literally, on a cliff) spot at the Maybourne Riviera hotel.

3. Restaurant De Sa Vie
$$$$ | |Judging by the crowd of regulars flocking to his restaurant, Daniel Desavie has built quite a reputation for his classic Provençal dishes—hardly surprising given that he was trained for 23 years by the late Roger Vergé at the famous Moulins de Mougins. Try the half lobster with cranberry beans and wild mushrooms salad in herb vinaigrette before tucking into thinly sliced beef with truffle coulis. If you want to add wine, a sommelier will help you turn your classic meal into a masterful one. There are splendidly set-priced lunch and dinner menus at both the restaurant and his more relaxed Le Bistrot, which features a weekly market offering.

5. L'Affable
$$$$ | La Croisette |When chef Jean-Paul Battaglia decided to set up shop in Cannes, gastronomes were delighted, and he does not disappoint—so much so that it’s not uncommon for tourists to eat here more than once during their stay. The roast beef is succulent, and the spicy lobster has just the right kick. L'Affable is always packed (and often noisy), so reservations are essential. Note that dinner service is a €53 fixed-price menu with lots of tempting choices, ditto for lunch (€28 and €32).
5 rue Lafontaine, Cannes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 06400, France04–93–68–02–09Known For
- Signature Grand Marnier soufflé
- Open kitchen setup and prix-fixe menus

6. La Table de Patrick Raingeard
$$$$ | | FrenchFor more than 50 years, celebs holidayed and dined at Cap Estel in Èze, a private 2-hectare peninsula with all-encompassing views of the Med. And now, with chef Patrick Raingeard, whose produce comes directly from the hotel’s garden, the dining here can’t get any better. Start with the asparagus salad with creamy cauliflower and wild truffles, followed by the Charolais beef fillet à la Parillada in a “Los Lobos” red-wine sauce served with a potato-and-truffle cake. Finish it off with a banana soufflé. Vegetarian options are also available. Lunch set menus are a good value.

7. Le Bistrot de Grand'Mère
$$$$ | |La Brouette de Grand'Mère built a following as a charming hole-in-the-wall with a true-blue bistro menu, and although the restaurant has changed its name and location, it has kept its €55 three-course menu that includes wine, fizzy water, a shot of vodka, as well as surprisingly tasty food. It feels especially right in winter.
1 rue du pré, Cannes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 06400, France04–93–38–90–50Known For
- Classic bistro menu
- Wine and bottled water included
- Generous portions

8. Le Magnan
$$$ | |Just 10 km (6 miles) west of St-Tropez and 4 km (2½ miles) south of Grimaud and the village of La Mole, this bucolic old farmhouse restaurant sits on a hillside over forests dense with cork oak and chestnuts. Whether you eat on the terrace with its views of the Massif des Maures and Gulf of St-Tropez or in the rustic dining room, the food tastes and smells of the surrounding countryside. Think crispy baked St-Marcelin cheese with honey and nuts or grilled beef tenderloin, fried potatoes, and béarnaise sauce, nicely topped off with chocolate and mango sorbet. Add the warm and friendly service, and this is your dream French restaurant experience. Choose from a three-course set menu (€45–€55), or order à la carte.
