Still within Italy but just a stone’s throw from the French border, this restaurant boasts a splendid terrace overlooking the Côte d’Azur, with views stretching from Menton’s picturesque old town to Cap Martin. During the high season, advance reservations are essential for one of the much-coveted outdoor tables; otherwise, guests are welcomed into an elegant dining room indoors. While everything here evokes neighboring France, the cuisine intelligently showcases the region’s finest products – from the renowned Pigna beans to Sanremo red shrimp – reinterpreting Ligurian recipes with refined technique and a personal touch, often presenting the same theme in several creative variations. The experience is completed by pairings enthusiastically curated by the sommelier.
