If I had to choose only one restaurant on the French Riviera, it would probably be Tetou (Avenue des Frères Roustan, Golfe-Juan, 06220; tel. 04 93 63 71 16 ). I know I am repeating myself, but the bouillabaisse (so as the rouille sauce that goes with it, pictured above)…

La Colombe d’Or is a legendary auberge located in a charming Saint-Paul de Vence village in Provence. The hotel/restaurant is especially famous for its impressive art collection (Artists used to pay their bills with paintings or sculptures.) After the second world war, La Colombe d’Or turned into a jet-set gathering…

Provencal products, especially vegetables and herbs are the main focus at Alain Ducasse restaurant Le Louis XV in Monaco. Maybe the restaurant’s plates are gold plated and the sumptuous interior is anything but modern, the cooking is contemporary and light.

Tetou is one of the principal reasons why I love to go to the South of France. And it is not because this simple place on a beach is frequented by celebrities. When you try the renown Tetou bouillabaisse for the first time you immediately understand that the celebrity in…

Restaurant de Bacon located in the old Antibes is another Tetou style fish restaurant that should be “a must” if one happens to be in that area. Like Tetou, Restaurant de Bacon is all about the long history of seafood preparation and remarkable quality products. In fact, it’s all about…

More I eat in Tetou, more I am convinced that they serve the best bouillabaisse in the world. No other bouillabaisse restaurants on Cote D’Azur can compare to the bouillabaisse in this legendary restaurant on the beach of Golfe Juan. (owned by the same family since 1920s) Why you might…
