It's finally summer! It's hot, we are completely relaxed, the sky is blue, the sea crystal clear, the most beautiful season of the year can begin!
For lunch or even dinner, this round bread bathed in olive oil and copiously garnished is ideal. It can be eaten on the spot or taken anywhere, and brings sunshine and good humor to the most delicate palates.
On the French Riviera, it is a must and you can find it everywhere; here are my favorite addresses from Menton to Cannes:
In Menton: D'Aqui

Here everything is delicious! Cuisine d'aqui (from here), made by people from aqui. I like the mini Pan Bagnat that can be eaten easily and at any time.
Rue Palmaro, 06500, Menton. Tel : +33 493 51 22 42.
In Monaco : Chez Costa

Costa is fifty years of experience, fresh products from the region, one of the favorite addresses of the locals. For the Pan Bagnat, you can take it away or enjoy it on the spot, facing the sea, in the cool of the place and with a warm welcome.

In Villefranche-sur-Mer : La Voile Bleue

Facing the sea and the bay of Villefranche, you can taste it on the spot or take it away, it is really excellent, and it is the place to be for connoisseurs as soon as the sun comes out.
