The best French cuisine restaurants Grand Baie

It's not so much what you get on your plate that counts (international-style cuisine based on local produce, burgers, ribs, curries...) as the setting, as the restaurant is one of the few to be located on the seafront, right on the water. So you can savor the view and the cool, friendly atmosphere, packed to the rafters on evenings when sports are broadcast on a giant screen. The covered terrace overlooks the bay, and just above it, on the upper floor, a VIP lounge area allows you to relax in cocktail-tapas mode in the gentle twilight. Live music on selected weekends.

Among the tables in the Grand Baie La Croisette mall, we prefer this brasserie-style restaurant offering a not-too-long selection of Asian, French and American dishes - lava stone-grilled flank steak, red chicken curry, fish à la plancha...and moules-frites on Fridays! All to be accompanied by a glass of wine from a choice of some twenty vintages. French chef Stéphane officiates in the kitchen and selects the produce. Bright dining room and large, colorful terrace overlooking the Place de la Croisette.
