  1. A

    A Braïjade Méridiounale

    In a beautiful stone-walled dining room framed by heavy wooden beams, A Braïjade’s speciality is flambé skewers (think orange-marinated chicken and pesto-marinated prawns flambéed with Cognac). Not only does it taste good, it also looks fabulous (the kebab is flambéed at your table). The menu, which includes an aperitif, glass of local wine and digestive, is excellent value.

    Le Bouquet Garni

    What you see is what you get at bouquet garni (think a bunch of Provençal herbs), a dead-simple bistro and bar à vins (wine bar) down an alley off the main pedestrian street. Locals form the bulk of the no-frills-seeking clientele and the brochette de volaille à l'estragon (poultry skewer with tarragon)hits the spot just fine.

    La Mandibule

    Tropical is the tone of this seafront restaurant which serves a mean cocktail alongside dozens of different rums and good old-fashioned cuisine from the French island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean. The cushioned wicker chairs beneath grass-shirted parasols on the prom have to be the comfiest prom chairs on the Riviera.

    Le Lido

    Sit on the buzzing terrace at this bustling no-frills seafood bar and feast on piles of langoustine (small saltwater lobster), oysters, sea urchins, crab and prawns. Finicky eaters can opt for a bog-standard lasagne.

    Café des Arts

    This unstuffy bistro with stylish traditional-with-a-twist interior and a laidback staff is a pleasing place to hang, surf, drink or dine on salad and pasta. Internet access is available.

    Sucre & Salés

    Opposite the bus station, a contemporary spot to enjoy a coffee, cake or sandwich. The desserts are a work of art. The pâtisserie also serves breakfast (€5).
