The best restaurants Ventimiglia

Close to the station, it's one of the city's top restaurants, with a terrace overlooking a pleasant little square, a cosy interior and a beautiful, sober neo-rustic decor. In the kitchen, the emphasis is on seafood, fish and shellfish. And since we don't use frozen foods, it's easy to accept the vagaries of the catch. The fish on your plate are caught between San Remo and Ventimiglia. A very popular restaurant in Ventimiglia these days. Refined atmosphere and quality cuisine at prices that are sometimes a little high.

A fine address at the entrance to the old town, offering fish dishes that are both traditional and creative. With a terrace in summer and a vaulted dining room in winter, the mood is upbeat and the flavours are local: tuna with liquorice, yellowtail with burrata, and parfait with tequila, pasta with lobster... Plus: the lovely view of the beach and sea from the terrace, and impeccable service. Excellent wine list. Brunch every Sunday from November to June (11am-2pm).

A Ventimiglia institution. We love this astonishing structure on stilts with a breathtaking view of the beach. As for the interior, with its wood and panelling, it plays the marine card. Of course, the meticulous cuisine offers seafood specialties, some dishes unchanged since the establishment's creation, such as the "1960" octopus and herb risotto; others are revisited, such as rabbit and sea urchin ravioli, burrata and thyme sauce... The wine list is rich and refined, and the service very elegant.

Here's a refined beach restaurant that logically specializes in freshly caught fish and seafood, the perfect accompaniment to beautiful pasta plates, appetizing salads, or perfectly showcased as a main course. The restaurant also offers splendid cuts of meat, including, for those who love it, matured beef. The dining room is elegant, but the terrace offers that little extra: a splendid view of the sea on fine days. Attractive wine list and pleasant, attentive service.

A true culinary experience a few kilometres from France with panoramic sea views for regional cuisine with olive oil, delicately revisited.

Located in front of the covered market, this establishment, run by the Pani family, is well known in the world of Italian restaurants. And yet, the tavern's atmosphere remains family-friendly, with a simple, refined, traditional cuisine offering all the classics of regional cooking, at more than affordable prices. The menu includes appetizers such as vitello tonnato, gnocchi, homemade ravioli or lasagne, fettuccine alle vongole... Desserts include homemade crème caramel and tiramisu. Reservations are recommended.

The restaurant is located in one of the main streets of the historic center, far from the confusion of the city below. It's a warm, charming place, with meticulous interior decoration and quality furnishings. It has a terrace, ideal for spending a pleasant moment in good company. The dishes, inspired by traditional Ligurian recipes, highlight the aromas, freshness and quality of local produce. It's a cuisine that has its own identity but never forgets its origins, with genuine savoir-faire.
