Mirabelle
Bird boxes dangle from the ceiling and the cheese menu is chalked on a mouse-shaped blackboard at this kinda kitsch, kinda cool café. A boho crowd flocks here for gratins, croûtes and scrummy tarts made with seasonal, mostly organic ingredients.

Chez Mémé Paulette
Mémé Paulette is an old curiosity shop of a café, crammed with antique books, milk jugs, cuckoo clocks and other eye-catching collectables. It draws a young, arty crowd with its boho vibe and wallet-friendly soul food, from chunky soups to tartines and homemade tarts.

O
Le Nautique
The clubhouse of Monaco’s rowing club has million-dollar views and €10 lunches, served upstairs in a sunny linoleum-floored dining room overseen by manager Erminia, who’s like your favourite Italian aunt who shouts mangia, mangia! until you’ve cleaned your plate. It’s tricky to find, and ascending the stairs you’ll think you’re walking into an apartment building; look for the gym equipment at street level and the inconspicuous sign marked ‘Société Nautique Fédération Monégasque Sport Avion Snack Bar’. Hurry: it’s slated for demolition in 2013.

Lou Pilha Leva
With its outdoor wooden tables crammed under a tight awning, this is Nice's version of a fast-food joint: courgette fritters, sugar-beet pie, or a bowl of soupe au pistou (soup of vegetables, noodles, beans, basil and garlic) – chop-chop!
