Provence restaurants

Join the élite, if only for dinner ...

Warning: take a table here and you may never want to leave.

Brasserie bustle with a side-order of style.

Don't settle for the obvious - look round the corner

Thai dining ... with Keke and Ringo?

Cool, calm, collected – and really not laughable at all.

Lobster ravioli with truffles and celery: if this is touristy, well, I’m a tourist.

Mantel of greatness? The pun is inescapable – and the restaurant’s pretty ace, too.

The world is his lobster: crustaceans and much else besides, for the discerning diner.

No credit cards or cheques: it’s cash only for warm home cooking direct from the market.

Can a place be both friendly and hip? Yes it can. Here’s the proof.

Enough of crowds, enough of bling – we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden.

Unfashionable, unshowy and off-centre, so please don’t go. (I want to keep it to myself.)

If it’s good enough for Mungo Jerry, then what are you waiting for?

They sell shellfish near the seashore (and they’ve been doing so for 57 years).

If Garibaldi were still alive, he’d be eating here. Certainly.

What’s all this zen? (Or how to keep your capital of cool on a hot beach.)

The height of good taste: we have lift-off (or a lift up, anyway).

There are real people in Monaco - and this is where they eat.

From the hip heights of Cannes catering, the views are outstanding.
