1 Best restaurants in Antibes-Juan Nice, Cannes and surroundings: Here are our favorite restaurants in Antibes-Juan les Pins which we really recommend trying out we never cease to be surprised by the high quality of eateries in this city - and we are still discovering new, awesome restaurants despite living and dining in the area for more than 10 years now. Important notice: you need to make reservation in advance as these are poplar places, and particularly so in July/August when it can get really crazy You have the number now so just call ahead and you are good! The "Top list in Antibes-Juan les Pins": Le Figuier de Saint-Esprit rue Saint-Esprit, Antibes T: ,14 Our favorite since it opened on the rampage next to the Picasso museum in late Insanely good, and relatively affordable (3 course menu about 60, with wine 80) and exclusive food prepared by the reputed star chef Christian Morisset who delivers the goods along with his sons and wife. Awarded with 1 star in Michelin guide, deservedly so. Valet parking available, which is a big plus if you have a car - fairly relaxed atmosphere, but if you have young kids probably better to choose something else Le Michelangelo 3 rue des Cordiers, Antibes T : info@lemichelangelo-mamo.com & Surely best Italian restaurant in town - and Chef Mamo is an attraction on his own. Famous celebrity spot, particularly during the Cannes-festival, but really this is an informal and cosy place and very popular. Really good authentic pasta (try the one with truffles if you want a real treat) and the Pizza de Parme is amazing for meat lovers, there are some very special treats as well. A huge outdoor garden opens up in the summer when it s practical to bring the kids as well.

Sapori d'italia 14 boulevard Maréchal Leclerc, Antibes T: 04 93 34 12 27 Nice location with beautiful views towards the sea and Cap d Antibes but, this place is really about the best pasta there is

A good place to bring the kids as well. Recommended as a top restaurant in Antibes by Tripadvisor another reason why this place is always crowded.

Enjoy the excellent Italian-inspired food and service offered by the exceptionally nice owner Gilles and his crew - Bertrand, Sebastian, Bobby and the others really strive to give you the best time.

2 Sapori d'italia 14 boulevard Maréchal Leclerc, Antibes T: Nice location with beautiful views towards the sea and Cap d Antibes but, this place is really about the best pasta there is and the family-friendly service and atmosphere. The menu is dominated by pasta which is just amazingly good. Simple décor inside, but who cares about that this is authentic stuff! A good place to bring the kids as well. Recommended as a top restaurant in Antibes by Tripadvisor another reason why this place is always crowded. Royal Beach 16 Blvd MAR LECLERC, Antibes T: Best beach restaurant and private beach in Antibes. Enjoy the excellent Italian-inspired food and service offered by the exceptionally nice owner Gilles and his crew - Bertrand, Sebastian, Bobby and the others really strive to give you the best time. Beautifully located with nice views from the terrace and pier, also a nice lounge section where you can enjoy refreshments all day and in the evening. Enoteca Rue Aubernon, Antibes T: This is the happening restaurant-bar in Old Antibes with lots of energy and so, so friendly service by Christian at the bar he is actually a very good friend of us, so tell Christian hi from Gry and Henrik and he will treat you especially good. Strategically placed a few steps from the ramparts. The cool wine bar facing the street is really where you want to be you can try some snacks (serano ham is awesome) or even a full meal if you like. Next door there is also a vaulted dining room for formal dining if you prefer that. The pasta with truffles and the cote de beuf is really top notch quality. L Armoise 2 r. de la Tourraque, Antibes T : kaparrinello@otmail.fr Really tiny resto next to the Provencal market - only 6 tables so reservation is crucial. Try out the delicious 3-course menu for 40, which is a bargain for such high quality. You can choose according to your preferences from the blackboard menu, which is always inspired by fresh produce from the market next-door. Recently recommended by Michelin guide due to remarkably good value for money.

de la Tourraque, Antibes T : 04 93 95 24 86 Another tiny resto, just a few meters from L Armoise as well.

3 La Tour Antique 4 r. de la Tourraque, Antibes T : Next door to L Armoise, which also offers a 3-course menu around 35, small and cozy atmosphere although quality doesn t quite match that of l Armoise. Le Comptoir 1 r. de la Tourraque, Antibes T : Another tiny resto, just a few meters from L Armoise as well. Same concept with an appealing black board menu from where you can choose a 3-course menu for around 35. Top quality, exciting food and a slight mix of French cuisine with Asian flavors. Hotel Belles Rives Bd E. Baudoin, Juan les Pins T : The most amazing terrace you can think of, particularly during sunset with awesome views of the whole bay of Juan les Pins towards Cannes. No place to take your kids (too expensive for that) but your darling will adore you if you take her/him on a date here. By the way, you could also sneak in for a drink at the terrace before dinner absolutely worth a try if you don t want the whole package. Cafe Marianne La Pinede, Avenue Gallice, Juan les Pins T : Beautiful terrace inside Hotel Juana next to the La Pinede park in Juan. In the old times, used to be a 2 star resto here but it is now a more informal and affordable place (lunch menu 19 and dinner menu 35). The calm terrace garden is still the same as in the heydays, which is why this is really a hidden jewel. Have the best selection of deserts which you check out in a glass display worth the trip alone!

Perroquet La Pinede, Avenue G. Gallice, Juan les Pins T: In the La Pinède park, long recognized by Michelin guide for excellent food, although the décor and setting is a little out of style. Family-friendly. Les Pêcheurs 10 Blvd Maréchal Juin, Cap d'antibes/juan Les Pins T : Magnificent terrace facing the Cannes Bay expensive though, particularly after it got a Michelin star. Eden Roc at the tip of Cap d'antibes in the famous Hotel de Cap T: Crowded by movie stars during the Cannes festival, when you won t get in. Apart from then, why not try out a cool lunch in the most luxurious surroundings you can think of. Yes, it is expensive, but you don t have to use your whole budget
