The best bars and cafés Alpes-Maritimes

The gourmets are unanimous: they have often come, they have never been disappointed! It must be said that here good taste is found everywhere, from the decoration to the tasty, savory plates... And worked in front of your eyes, or almost, since the open kitchen at the back of the room lets you see, even before you see the menu, the suggestions of the day. We like the homemade food that you can feel from the starter to the dessert, the warm welcome, the nice terrace with a view on the harbor and the wine list to discover with a charcuterie board as an aperitif.

If the name refers directly to La ^36ème chambre de Shaolin, it's all about sweetness and voluptuousness. Cédric and Nouaja are both passionate about Japanese and Korean culture, and decided to import a few flavors from Asia. From breakfast to lunch and afternoon tea, the place is friendly and Nouaja is particularly welcoming. We love the Shaolin Brunch or their delicious bibimbap, not forgetting the fluffy Korean pancakes. For those in a hurry, onigris and "Sando" are available to take away.

A few chairs and high tables, a pretty bar, a slate of delicious homemade tapas (burrata, tartines, mixed or vegetarian platters) that change weekly: all the elements of a good evening are gathered in this little bar in the center of old Antibes. The atmosphere is relaxed, the manager attentive and the venue, a small vaulted cellar with stone walls, a warm decor with paintings and works of art on the walls. In short, it's a far cry from the usual crowded pubs and cafés, and that's exactly what we love about Frankette.

The atmosphere, the decor, and the live bands that play every Friday night make this English pub a must in the village of Châteauneuf!

Sports fans won't be outdone by the pool table and TV broadcasts. The setting, particularly the terrace in season, is charming, as are the staff, always welcoming whatever the time of day

"Neither a bar nor a restaurant, but a tavern! that's what we say!
