The African Queen

A lively mix of yachties and excellent cuisine makes this portside restaurant perennially popular. Wood-fired pizzas are superb; the finely chopped salade Niçoise is dressed at your table; the sole meunière is a buttery classic. Service can be erratic, but both the menu and the marina-side atmosphere are a delight. Celebrity-spotting opportunities abound all summer long here and yachts bob just a few feet from the dining tables. The rental price tag on most of them starts at around 100,000€ per week.
