Make a beeline for the iconic early-20C Grand-Hôtel du Cap Ferrat. The swish hotel, a favourite with international VIPs, stands at the tip of an exclusive peninsula overlooking the Mediterranean and hidden from view by lush gardens. You have a choice between a stunning dining room or an exquisite terrace shaded by tall Aleppo pines. At the helm of the kitchen, chef Yoric Tièche (born in Aix-en-Provence) finds his inspiration in Provence's culinary roots, creating superb dishes out of Mediterranean produce. Highlights include red mullet lacquered in sweet harissa, served with a crunchy socca of chickpeas and a floral bouquet of aromatic herbs. The knockout desserts by pastry chef, Pierre-Jean Quinonero, are equally worth writing home about, illustrated by his mandarin and lemon tartlet, to name but one of his fiendishly appetising creations.
