The Top 100 Restaurants Near La Bastide Saint Antoine



  1. Rank 3. Le Bistro du Clos

    Provençal French

    Tucked into the left wing of the Maison des Terroirs, a building devoted to regional produce, this is a traditional bistro where the Provençal cooking runs from chuck beef stew to red fruit pannacotta, all of it seasonal and generous. You eat either inside among old knickknacks or under the hackberry trees, both options packed with regulars who clearly never considered eating elsewhere. The open kitchen keeps the whole thing honest.


  2. Rank 4. Le Clos Saint-Pierre

    Provençal French

    A stone-built inn across from the village church, with plane trees shading the boules court out front. Inside, the mood is chic but easy, and the kitchen runs a single set menu that follows the market, so what you eat depends entirely on what arrived that morning. The cooking is rooted in Provence without being smug about it. A truffle menu appears in season for those who plan ahead.


  3. Rank 5. La Villa Archange

    Mediterranean French

    A two-Michelin-starred fine dining room set inside an old Provençal villa in the hills above Cannes, where Bruno Oger runs a menu that toggles between his Breton roots and the Mediterranean coast. The kitchen table lets a handful of diners watch the whole operation up close, and the Friday-Saturday lunch is a quieter way into the same cooking that fills the grander evening menus.



  4. Rank 7. Bohème

    Peruvian


  5. Rank 8. Bessem

    Mediterranean

    A Michelin-starred restaurant in a town house shaded by plane trees, where the chef spent years in the kitchens of Pierre Gagnaire and Marc Meneau before putting his own name above the door. The Mediterranean cooking is careful and personal, the kind where the chef raises his own chickens for the eggs and pours his own Tunisian olive oil at the table. Two seasonal tasting menus keep things focused.




  6. Rank 11. Spelt

    Modern New American


  7. The menus read like screenplays, complete with storyboards, because the chef Jean Imbert built this fine dining room inside the Cannes Film Festival's spiritual home as a love letter to cinema. Wood paneling that belongs on a Hollywood-era yacht, film props and posters everywhere, and a Michelin-starred kitchen leaning hard on the sea and Provence for its ingredients. Glamorous in the way that only makes sense here, on the Croisette.


  8. Rank 13. Les Terraillers

    Mediterranean

    The dining room of this Michelin-starred restaurant in Biot was once a potter's kiln, and the old oven now anchors a cozy lounge that feels like a gentle joke about how much heat a kitchen really needs. The chef trained with Alain Ducasse and Roger Vergé, and the cooking shows it: Mediterranean through and through, built on market produce, Menton lemons, courgette flowers, and truffle when the season calls for it.


  9. Rank 14. Mareluna

    Creative

    The terrace looks straight out over the Bay of Cannes, and on a warm evening it's hard to argue with the logic of sitting here. Mareluna is a fine dining restaurant open for dinner only, where the chef weaves Italian and Riviera ingredients through a quietly Asian sensibility, the kind of move that sounds contrived until you taste it. A Michelin star and a spot on the 50 Best Italian Restaurants in the World list suggest the kitchen is doing something right.



  10. Rank 16. Alain Llorca

    Provençal French

    The terrace looks out over Saint-Paul-de-Vence, which sets expectations, and the kitchen clears them. This is a Michelin-starred farmhouse restaurant in the hills above the Côte d'Azur, where the chef channels the Mediterranean through Provençal produce, small-boat fish, and the kind of quietly precise cooking that doesn't need to announce itself. The setting alone would pull people in; that the food matches it is the whole point.


  11. Rank 17. Aux Bons Enfants

    Provençal French

    Cash only, no phone until recently, fourth generation in the kitchen: Aux Bons Enfants has been doing things its own way for a very long time. This snug Provençal bistro on rue Meynadier sources everything from Forville Market a few doors down, which keeps the stuffed vegetables, braised beef cheeks, and homemade gnocchi tasting like someone's grandmother made them, which is more or less accurate. The Michelin Guide awards it a Bib Gourmand.


  12. A Michelin-starred dining room inside a luxury hotel on the edge of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, where the conservatory opens onto olive trees and a kitchen garden that supplies its own menu. The cooking leans Mediterranean but skews plant-forward, with flowers and herbs clipped from the grounds landing on dishes that are colorful and considered. The tasting menu has a clear point of view, and the setting does nothing to undercut it.


  13. A terrace looking out over the Provençal countryside at dusk, inside the Terre Blanche estate, sets the mood for this Michelin-starred fine dining room. The chef sources obsessively close to home, pulling fish from St Raphaël, poultry from Vidauban, and vegetables from a cottage garden, so the menu reads like a map of the Var. The vegetarian option gets the same serious attention as everything else.


  14. The terrace hangs so close to the water that the Estérel mountains seem to rise straight from your table. This Michelin-starred fine dining room sits inside a hotel where the Fitzgeralds once made a mess of their marriage, and the setting still has that dramatic pull. The chef brings a quietly personal hand to Mediterranean seafood, with cream and technique from western France folded into the Riviera sunshine. Lunch here with sunglasses on is a particular kind of theatre.


  15. Rank 21. L'Or Bleu

    Mediterranean

    The terrace looks out over both sea and the jagged red peaks of the Massif de l'Estérel, which is the kind of view that makes you forgive a long wine list. This Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant sits within a resort in Théoule-sur-Mer, where the chef, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, turns top Mediterranean produce into food that's precise without being cold. Dress accordingly.


  16. Rank 22. Les Pêcheurs

    Mediterranean

    The deck sits just above the waterline at Cap d'Antibes, with the Îles de Lérins directly ahead and the Esterel foothills behind, which makes it difficult to pay attention to your menu. This is a Michelin-starred Mediterranean restaurant where the chef, a Nice native, pulls fish from a port fifty meters away and builds a seasonal, southern French kitchen around it. The room skews toward a certain kind of unhurried lunch crowd who know exactly what they're doing.


  17. A former pastry chef running a bistro means the dessert course gets taken as seriously as everything else, which at Côté Jardin translates to a caramelised mille-feuille that makes the savory menu work harder to keep up. Tucked into the residential Le Petit Juas neighborhood above the glitter of Cannes, this is a cheerful, unfussy spot with Mediterranean cooking and prices that would surprise anyone who just came from the Croisette.



  18. Rank 25. Le Carré d'Ange

    Provençal Mediterranean


  19. Rank 26. ONICE

    Modern Cuisine

    Bare tables and clean lines set the tone at this intimate fine dining room tucked into Nice's antiques quarter, where a Michelin-starred Italo-Argentine couple met at Mirazur and later opened their own place. The short tasting menus follow the season and the local catch closely, with the occasional unexpected pairing that makes you put your fork down for a second. The wine list is priced like they actually want you to order from it.


  20. A Nice scorpionfish meeting a vadouvan-spiked broth is a fair summary of what the Tourteaux brothers do at this two-Michelin-starred creative restaurant: local ingredients from the market, spices from much further away, and enough confidence to make the collision feel inevitable rather than eccentric. The room is small and the cooking is precise, the kind of place where the menu reads like a dare that the kitchen quietly wins.




  21. A small bistro tucked behind Cannes' town hall, where one partner runs the market each morning while the other cooks alone in the kitchen, and the arrangement produces a short, shareable menu that moves fast enough to keep it interesting. The fish comes from regional producers, the dishes lean bold, and the wine list is curated by the same person pouring it. Bring someone to share with, or prepare to make difficult decisions.


  22. Rank 31. Le Chantecler

    Modern Mediterranean

    Fine dining inside the Negresco, the grand old hotel that lords over the Promenade des Anglais. Virginie Basselot, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, runs the kitchen and cooks modern French with a Mediterranean lean, sourcing tightly from local producers. The room is the kind of swanky that makes you sit up straight without being told. A Michelin star hangs over the whole project, and the service is polished enough to match it.


  23. A Michelin-starred vegetable restaurant in Nice where the menu is a single set of whatever the kitchen garden offered at its peak that day. Bruno Cirino and his team have built the whole thing around local organic produce, coaxing something quietly extraordinary from garlic, olive oil, artichokes, and basil. The room is small, the price is not what you'd expect for a star, and the wine list runs the same way.


  24. Rank 33. L'Aromate

    Modern Mediterranean

    A glazed kitchen window lets you watch the brigade work from your table, which sets the tone at this sleek modern restaurant a short walk from Place Masséna. The chef cooked at Plaza Athénée and Le Bristol before landing here, and the cooking shows it: Mediterranean ingredients, Nice and Ligurian coast produce, handled with the precision that résumé implies. It holds a Michelin star.


  25. A short, market-driven menu in Nice's Musicians' Quarter, where the cooking changes with what looked good that morning. This is a neighborhood bistro with Australian roots and a Niçoise soul, earning a Michelin Bib Gourmand for hearty, unfussy plates served by the chef's partner, who runs the room with the ease of someone who genuinely likes being there. Natural wines, affordable lunches, and no dish on the menu that needs an explanation.


  26. Rank 35. Chez Davia

    Nice French


  27. A small, lively bistro on rue Bonaparte where the menu names alone are enough to make you curious, and the food backs up every bit of it. The chef, a Passage 53 alumnus, works entirely with local suppliers to produce creative, technically precise cooking that's more playful than precious. The room buzzes, the service is seamless, and the chef occasionally delivers dishes himself. It holds a Michelin star.


  28. Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen cooked on private yachts in Monaco before opening this intimate, 20-seat fine dining room near the port in Nice. A single set menu channels South African flavors, playing sweet against sour, smoke against acid. When cheese arrives, you cross the street to a separate cheese bar stocked with around twenty varieties, preserves, and dried fruit. The detour alone earns its Michelin star.



  29. Sansho, Timut, black lime, green cardamom: the chef introduces each spice at the counter before it shows up in your plate, which is either charming or a spoiler, depending on your nature. This Michelin-starred modern dining room in Nice is small and warm-lit, with every seat angled toward the open kitchen. Local fish and vegetables carry the menu, seasoned with a precision that owes something to years under Marcel Ravin at Monaco's Blue Bay.


  30. Rank 40. La Merenda

    Provençal French



  31. Rank 42. Le Canon

    Natural Mediterranean


  32. Rank 43. Clovis

    Modern French


  33. The name is a nod to Japan's izakayas, and the vibe follows: a casual Japanese spot tucked into a cul-de-sac off rue de la Liberté, where salmon seared with yuzu-miso and prawn socca tacos sit on the same menu without anyone apologizing for it. Maki, sushi, and vegetable tempura fill out the middle ground, and there's a cocktail bar and a serious sake list. Upstairs, a twelve-seat counter runs a tasting menu for when the mood is more committed.


  34. The open flame does most of the talking here, with a parrilla grill and plancha turning out Colombian-Italian fusion in a narrow, terracotta-warm room near the port. The terrace spills onto the street in orange seating, and the kitchen stays visible throughout. Chimichurri shows up alongside braised veal, ceviche alongside sardines. It's a casual, warm restaurant where two culinary traditions share a table without much fuss about it.


  35. Rank 46. Riviera

    Mediterranean

    Marble walls, Gien porcelain on every table, and a terrace looking straight out over the Croisette: this is the Carlton's formal Mediterranean restaurant, where the room sets a standard the kitchen is clearly trying to match. Meat and fish are carved tableside, and the chef's table faces an open kitchen. Service is precise without feeling clinical. Dress well and assume the bill will reflect the address.


  36. Rank 47. MARMAR

    Mediterranean

    A former burger joint on a backstreet near the port, now a bright Mediterranean restaurant run by a southern Italian chef and a Lombard sommelier who named it by combining their surnames. The kitchen pulls from the Saleya Market daily, so the menu shifts with whatever looked good that morning, leaning on citrus and spice. The wine list roams all over Europe and moves around as much as the food does.


  37. The room was a grocery shop in a former life, and the intimate scale stuck. This bistro on rue Bonaparte runs a short, seasonal menu where most plates are built for two to share, the music skews trendy, and the wine list leans into orange with something like conviction. The team behind Les Agitateurs in Nice does the cooking, which swings easily between classic French and something more restless. A Michelin Selected restaurant.


  38. Rank 49. Le Cap

    Provençal Mediterranean

    Tall Aleppo pines shade the terrace at this fine dining room perched at the tip of Cap Ferrat, where the Mediterranean sits just beyond the garden. The chef draws on Provençal roots to shape a menu built around local produce, and the pastry kitchen holds its own. A Michelin star keeps company with the kind of international clientele who treat a private peninsula as a perfectly normal address.


  39. The terrace faces the Mediterranean so directly that the sea is less a backdrop than a dining companion. This is the fine dining room of one of the grandest hotels on the Riviera, holding a Michelin star, where the chef organizes each course around a single sensory theme, fresh or luscious or unctuous, then plates it with a precision that borders on architectural. Jackets at minimum, and probably a reservation made some time ago.


  40. Rank 51. Kooc Toast

    Bakery Taiwanese


  41. Rank 52. Kooc Tea

    Taiwanese


  42. Rank 53. La Chèvre d'Or

    Mediterranean

    Perched in a medieval hilltop village above the Côte d'Azur, this two Michelin star dining room splits its views between the rocky Riviera hinterland and the Mediterranean below, which means you'll spend a moment just deciding where to look. The kitchen leans into vegetables, herbs, and local seafood with a technique-forward precision that earns those stars without making you feel lectured. Dress for a serious dinner.


  43. Rank 54. Maïdo

    Japanese





  44. Rank 58. Banh Meï

    Vietnamese






  45. Rank 63. Château Eza

    Modern New American

    A terrace built into the cliffside village of Èze, with the Mediterranean spread out below at a distance that makes it look like a painting you could fall into. This one-Michelin-star fine dining restaurant is the kind of place you dress for. The cooking is precise and modern, with a personality that keeps it from feeling cold, and the desserts hold their own against a view that's doing a lot of heavy lifting.




  46. The millstone and old olive press are still embedded in the walls of this former oil mill, now a relaxed bistro at the edge of one of the Côte d'Azur's most painted villages. The menu runs to veal blanquette, beef tartare, and Nice-style courgette risotto, which is a more grounded offer than the setting might suggest. Matisse, Chagall, and Yves Montand all passed through town, so the place has history whether it tries or not.


  47. Rank 67. L'Amandier

    Mediterranean


  48. Rank 68. Olive & Artichaut

    Regional French


  49. Rank 69. Bistrot d'Antoine

    Southern French



  50. Rank 71. Nananère

    Modern French

    A patio draped in olive green looks onto a cobbled, tree-lined square, and that's already doing a lot of work before you've ordered anything. This modern brasserie in the center of Antibes reworks Provençal classics like salade niçoise and pissaladière under playful, punny names that lean into the childlike theme without embarrassing themselves. Produce comes from the team's own garden in Vallauris, which explains a certain smugness about the seasonal clafoutis.



  51. Rank 73. Le Vauban

    Contemporary French


  52. Rank 74. L'Arazur

    Modern Mediterranean



  53. Rank 76. Fleur de Sel

    Mediterranean

    A young couple runs this intimate Mediterranean restaurant in Cagnes-sur-Mer, one of them in the kitchen, the other handling both the room and the desserts, which is a lot to ask and apparently no problem at all. The cooking follows the seasons closely, and the menu reads like a farmers' market with a very good culinary education behind it. Picked up by the Michelin Guide, and priced in a way that won't require a long think before ordering.


  54. Twenty seats on the Cagnes-sur-Mer seafront, and the kind of reservation that takes planning. This small modern restaurant changes its menu every couple of months, keeping things tightly seasonal and local, so the room rewards repeat visits. The cooking leans careful and quiet rather than showy, which suits the unhurried pace of lunch. Arrive without a booking and you'll be eating elsewhere.


  55. Rank 78. La Table de Kamiya

    French-Japanese New American

    A seafront modern restaurant where Provence and Japan quietly negotiate, and neither side loses. The chef and his pastry-chef wife run set menus that move through local staples, sea bass, courgettes, pistou, with wakame and yuzu threading through when you least expect them. The rum baba is apparently a house obsession, and the peach dessert with verbena jelly suggests the pastry side of the partnership is not playing second fiddle.


  56. The garden terrace backs up against umbrella pines, palm trees, and bougainvillea, and rattan chairs make the whole thing feel like someone's very well-connected aunt invited you to lunch. This is the restaurant at a luxury boutique hotel on Cap d'Antibes, where Mauro Colagreco's team draws on Mediterranean produce from the Riviera across into Liguria. The interior stays chic but relaxed, the kind of room where nobody is trying too hard, or at least pretending not to.


  57. Rank 80. Amarines by Mauro Colagreco

    Creative Mediterranean

    A pavilion in the gardens of a boutique Cap d'Antibes hotel, with a terrace shaded by mulberry plane trees and a dining room that takes its cues from the sea. This is creative fine dining from Mauro Colagreco, whose Mediterranean menu reads like a love letter to the coast, citrus, olive oil, wild-caught fish, and Provençal lavender finding their way into dishes that are composed but never fussy. Dress well; the setting expects it.


  58. Rank 81. Le Castellaras

    Provençal Mediterranean

    A refurbished farmhouse in the hills above Fayence, with an open kitchen that feeds straight onto a terrace overlooking the valley and the walled village below. This is a Provençal restaurant in the truest sense: the menu follows the market and the seasons, so what's on the plate depends entirely on when you show up. A handful of rooms mean you can stay if the view, or the wine list, gets the better of you.


  59. Rank 82. La Rotonde

    Mediterranean


  60. Rank 83. Le Bougainvillier

    Modern Mediterranean


  61. Rank 84. Apopino

    Mediterranean



  62. Rank 86. Taulissa

    Southern French

    The sixth floor gives you Nice from both sides, city behind you and sea ahead, which is a view that makes it hard to focus on the menu. This hotel restaurant in Maison Albar - Le Victoria leans into Southern French cooking, with local produce and confident, deeply reduced sauces. The team presents dishes tableside, so there's a gentle theatre to the whole thing that stops just short of fussy.


  63. Rank 87. Le Bistrot des Docks

    Modern Mediterranean

    A chalkboard menu across from the Docks de la Riviera covered market sets the tone: this is a neighborhood gourmet bistro that the tourist trail has yet to find, which suits the regulars just fine. The kitchen runs on seasonal Mediterranean produce, and the short menu changes with what's good rather than what's safe. Service is warm and personal in the way only a small operation can pull off.


  64. Rank 88. Fine Gueule

    Traditional French



  65. Rank 90. Shintaro

    Japanese



  66. Rank 92. Bar des Oiseaux

    Traditional French


  67. Rank 93. L'Atelier

    Regional French


  68. A small bistro just off Place Garibaldi, run by two people who clearly did their homework before opening it. The chef came up through serious kitchens, and the short menu leans on whatever fresh ingredients made the trip to market that day. The wine list covers every French region without making a fuss about it. Lunch is the move, when a set menu keeps things tidy and the room feels most like itself.


  69. The room is all dark stone tones and brooding shadows, which makes the food's bright, citrusy energy feel like a deliberate provocation. This small fusion restaurant from the team behind Les Agitateurs sends Mediterranean produce through an Asian lens, think pho-scented broths, grilled duck with spring onion jus, and Thai salads that actually wake you up. The wine list leans organic, with a soft spot for volcanic terroirs and a smart sake selection alongside.


  70. Emerald walls, crystal chandeliers, and exposed stone pillars set the mood at this glamorous little bistro tucked next to its Michelin-starred sibling JAN. The menu runs classic French, sole meunière and tarte Tatin, but chef Jan Hendrik, who grew up in South Africa, quietly folds in lentil bobotie and malva pudding alongside vanilla ice cream, which gives the whole thing a cosmopolitan undercurrent that the room, for all its Niçois polish, wears surprisingly lightly.


  71. Near the port, this cozy Italian trattoria leans into traditional Roman cooking, the kind where house-made pasta and spicy tomato sauce do all the talking. The bohemian decor and jazz in the background give it a lived-in warmth that makes lingering easy. The team keeps things cordial without being fussy, and the desserts are lighter than you'd expect.


  72. The baba ganoush here has a smokiness that makes you wonder if other versions were ever trying. This is a Lebanese restaurant tucked near the Palais des Expositions, the kind of place that rewards coming in a group so the table fills with mezze and the sharing menu makes sense. The tabbouleh is bright and herb-heavy, the pistachio and almond pastries arrive with mint tea, and the whole thing moves at a civilized pace.


  73. Alain Ducasse built his reputation here, earning three Michelin stars at 33 in a dining room that looks like Belle Époque dreamed a little too hard. This is formal fine dining inside the Hôtel de Paris, where the kitchen's loyalty to Mediterranean ingredients runs deep enough that vegetables get top billing. The chef he trusts to run it day to day keeps the cooking focused and precise, which in a room this gilded takes a certain confidence.


  74. Rank 100. Les Plaisirs

    Provençal French
