We’re always eagerly awaiting the warmer months so we can dine on the beaches, outdoors, overlooking the sea.
Here are the 5 best and most beautiful beach restaurants for this summer:
Batik by African Queen in Beaulieu-Sur-Mer
Gilbert Vissian’s cuisine right on the beach—what more could you ask for? Open for a few weeks now, this restaurant—set in a magical setting with lush vegetation that creates an exotic atmosphere—is located on Petite Afrique Beach. The Junior family—Angélique (Gilbert and Annie’s daughter) and her husband Frédéric—welcome us and serve up the best specialties: local dishes made with regional ingredients, as well as culinary delights from around the world inspired by a blend of Asian and Balinese cuisines—the result is perfect. And of course, the famous truffle pizza and Niçoise salad!
Petite Afrique Beach, 06310 Beaulieu-Sur-Mer.

The César Plage Keller in Cap d’Antibes
Located on the famous Garoupe Beach in Cap d’Antibes, this restaurant offers Mediterranean cuisine made with local ingredients in a chic yet relaxed setting. Whether you’re enjoying sea bass in a salt crust, Keller-style octopus salad, or ravioli with summer truffles, you’re sure to be delighted. Very popular in the summer with the international and local jet set, I recommend making a reservation. It’s magnificent in the evening.
The Fishermen at Cap d’Antibes
This gourmet restaurant, awarded one Michelin star, has opened its doors for the summer season. The setting, the atmosphere, and the simply perfect cuisine make this an exceptional place. Magnificent and very romantic in the evening, with a menu featuring simply sublime dishes such as Mediterranean sea bass cooked in a fig leaf or perfectly poached foie gras, you’re in for an amazing culinary experience.

Twiga Beach Club in Monte Carlo
Flavio Briatore’s establishments always embody quality, elegance, and style. Twiga Beach is not only chic and trendy, but also serves original and delicious cuisine. Perfect for summer, enjoy raw fish tacos or extra-fresh sushi, all in a dreamlike setting within the Le Méridien complex, with the sea as a backdrop and surrounded by magnificent Mediterranean vegetation.

BFire by Mauro Caulagreco
The name—B for “Barrière” and F for “feu”—gives you an idea of what you’re about to enjoy. Chic, sophisticated cuisine created by a renowned chef (his restaurant in Menton was named the best in the world) right here in our magnificent region, inspired by his Argentine and Italian roots and prepared with local ingredients. A true delight. A must-try dessert: the BFire ice cream with Tagada strawberries—absolutely delicious. Open for lunch only for now.
