Restaurants

 
 
If you've come to the Cote d’Azur looking for wonderful food, you've found it. Brimming with outdoor markets, olive trees, vineyards and of course truffles, this region of France offers some of the finest dining in the world. There are both gastronomique restaurants run by celebrated French chefs and provincial style restaurants offering famous Provencal country cooking. While superb restaurants lie only 30 minutes away in the coastal cities of Nice, Cannes and Antibes, we’ve decided to list some of our favorite restaurants all within a 5-15 minute drive of Villa Lou Pas Dei Cabres. We strongly suggest you make reservations ahead by phoning the restaurant.
