Gilles Pudlowski’s regional guides profile hundreds of the
most charming hotels and restaurants, cafés, bars, and gourmet
shops throughout the towns and villages of each area. The region
of Provence–Alps–Côte d’Azur is known for
celebrating the simple sensuous pleasures of life. Ideally situated
between the Mediterranean coastline and the Alps, the sunny, bright
region offers quaint hilltop cities and lively towns, medieval
fortresses and Roman ruins, and fields of flowers and lavender
made famous by painters. Visitors can choose between the livelier
towns of Nice and Cannes, and the calmer more discreet villages
of Beaulieu, Menon, Cap Ferrat, or Grasse, the perfume capital
of the world. Monaco provides its guests with fashionable elegant
surroundings in an international atmosphere. This “petit
Pudlo” will
lead you to the best places to find bouillabaisse and other local
dishes, as well as the region’s famous rosés and wines.
Gilles Pudlowski is France’s most respected culinary commentator;
restaurant critic and writer for the French weekly magazine Le
Point; historian of French regional culinary traditions;
and the author of two cookbooks, France the Beautiful Cookbook and Great
Women Chefs of Europe. The Pudlo guides have appeared yearly
for almost 20 years.

Roger Vergé knew how to gather qualified personnel around
him who, in their turn, set up ship in the region. This is the
case of Jean-Luc Gaufilier who has breathed life into this bijou
address with a rotisserie, a terrace, palm trees and a view of
Cannes and the Lérins islands. Chef Laurent Martinez cooks
up market-based dishes such as chard and pinenut tourte, pumpkin
risotto, braised pork cheeks served with a pleasant olive oil-infused
potato puree and the plum clafoutis with pistachio ice cream,
which give you a good idea of what’s on offer. The lunch
menus are great deals.

Only one oil is on offer here, but it is genuinely different.
Cold-pressed, full, sweet and fragrant, it has an incomparable
artichoke bouquet. Suzy Seysson and Raymond Gonfond do splendid
work.
