Kiousk 3.14

Le Méditerranée
On top of the portside Sofitel hotel, adjoining the rooftop pool, it's hard to say which makes more of an impression - this contemporary French restaurant's culinary prowess or its 360-degree views across the Med to the red Massif de l'Estérel mountains. It's worth it, if your pocket allows.

Le Mesclun
The menu here titillates tastebuds: wild turbot baked in champagne with summer truffles and mushrooms; langoustine roasted in coriander-flavoured butter and spiced with tomato, courgette, olive and mango; or roast duck breast with spiced honey, a pear in red wine and a peach in olive oil. Dining is refined and artful.

Z Plage
Lunch at the beach restaurant-bar of Hôtel Martinez is an unforgettable experience. Languish on white-cushioned teak seating beneath white colonial-style umbrellas and sip unusual freshly squeezed juices (fancy a pineapple, litchi and raspberry juice? or how about strawberry, lemon, basil and pineapple, Madame?) and fusion frappées (smoothies). The Zen orange and peach purée with Chaï spices is Zen indeed.
