Rivea on the Riviera
We don’t usually announce the openings of restaurants without trying them, however I have heard so many good things about this restaurant I was hoping that maybe on of our readers could try and beat us to the punch and give us a review. The much anticipated Rivea opened in the Byblos Hotel in Saint-Tropez...
Ma Yucca’s enchanted world in Nice
I told you previously about the Ma Yucca’s magic when my friend Sandrine organized a dinner with the two talented japanese sisters behind the stove. Last week, I finally visit them at their restaurant, the now famous Mayucca in Nice. After a delicious lunch, we crossed the street and visited the tiny Mayucca shop where...
Lo Sfizio in Monaco
Let’s talk about a little restaurant i really like in Monaco. It’s called Lo Sfizio, it looks very simple, but it’s always full for a good reason, the food is delicious. This is a roman table, with its artichoke alla romana, it’s cold and hot antipasti, and it’s entire “roman pastas” section. We are talking...
Chez Palmyre in Nice
I know that lately i gave you several good restaurant tips in Nice, and yes, don’t hate us for being repetitive, but this is a new terrific one, just nearby “Le comptoir du marché” and “Le café de la bourse” in le Vieux Nice. Welcome to “chez Palmyre”, a very old institution, opened in 1926....
Le comptoir du marché in Nice

Have you ever heard of a good margarita...
Café Restaurant de la Bourse in Nice
Let’s be clear, this is not a fancy address, this is A TOP address in Nice. A genuine, family, old place “dans son jus” as we said here, not a tourist magnet! Homemade raviolis, gnocchis, stuffed cabbage, pissaladière of course, aïoli (a garlic mayonnaise famous in the south of France, watch your breath), and every...
Cheese in the corner
We are having a rainy and cold week here on the Riviera, making for a dreary January! What better way to cheer things up than with some French cheese! Sego missed out on her favourite dish this weekend, when Joshua and I headed up to La Turbie to visit a new gourmet cheese venue that has...
