Don Camillo Don Camillo Creations
5 rue des Ponchettes
04 93 85 67 95
This restaurant has been in the hands of a number of chefs but has hit the jackpot with young Marc Laville. Let's say the style is contemporary classic. Read my review.
 
L'Ane Rouge Le Ane Rouge
7 quai des Deux Emmanuel
04 93 89 49 63


A long-time classic, the chef here showcases local products.The interior is elegant and the terrace has lovely view of the port.
Chantecler Chantecler
Hotel Negresco
37 Promenade des Anglais
04 93 16 64 00.
It's Michelin star is well-deserved. Since September 2007, this venerable establishment in the splendid Hotel Negresco is headed by a new chef, Jean-Denis Rieubland. Even though the average age of the lunch crowd seems to be in the triple digits, the new chef is introducing more modern touches to the menu. See my review.
La Petite Maison La Petite Maison
11 rue Saint-François-de-Paule
04 93 92 59 59
Visiting celebrities (and resident ones too) make a point of dining in this discreet dining room. The flavours are decidedly Mediterranean as the menu on the website indicates. Notice that there are no prices listed. If you have to ask. . .
David Faure L'Aphrodite
10 bd Dubouchage
04 93 85 63 53

Chef David Faure likes contrasts: sweet vs. savoury, crunchy vs. smooth, local vs. exotic. The result is outstanding and the lunch prix-fixe menu ar €25 is the best value in town. By the way, the smoke coming from the chef's mouth is an emanation from one his more imaginative "molecular cuisine" dishes.
