Le Café de Paris

Celebrities regularly sip morning café au lait (6€) at this Place du Casino beauty spot. So though it is pricey, and service can be pretentious, this could be a pitstop to write home about. Later in the day, its classic bistro menu includes simple starters like garlic escargot and croque-monsieur plus more innovative mains like filet of plaice (a North Sea fish) with pumpkin purée. Best value is the bistro-style weekday dish of the day, which may include braised beef cheeks with polenta or scallop risotto.
