Flaveur
Flaveur is Nice’s most highly-rated restaurant—and rightly so. Brothers Mickaël and Gaël Tourteaux (whose last name, almost unbelievably, translates as “cake”), a pair of fabulously talented chefs, hold two Michelin stars. Both brothers, now in their forties, spent decades in the kitchens of the Riviera’s top restaurants. A childhood growing up on the tropical islands of Réunion and Guadeloupe means their contemporary cuisine is laced with exotic flavors: plump scallops seasoned with Japanese gomasio; artistically displayed lemongrass and bubbles of lemon caviar sit atop risotto. Meals are variations on fixed-price menus only; there’s no ordering à la carte. Simply let the Tourteauxs take you on a voyage gastronomique.
