The newly opened beach club Zebra plage is the place to go to hang out in the pure St Tropez style. The sand is golden, the parking is valet and the vibe is full on glamour. This beach club is tied to the Zebra lounges in Paris and Monaco so they understand what makes a place hottter than the mediterranean mid day sun. Open late with the prerequisite luxurious lounging areas, beach butlers, great restaurant, cocktails and tunes it is a fun place to hang out that feels like everything a Riviera beach should feel like.

Cafe Bar in Beaulieu-sur-Mer

Charming bar in the centre of Saint Jean Cap Ferrat. Lovely terrace that is one of the best to people watch from with gorgeous views and a relaxed atmosphere. Reasonable prices, ice creams and snacks available too.

Bar and restaurant in the old town of Villefranche-sur-Mer. Good location in the pretty little open square. Food is basic, Mediterranean and a touch too expensive for what it is but it's a pleasure to pay for the location and the ambiance.

Beach club and restaurant on Eze beach with a relaxed eclectic style inflected with bright Indian colours and mosaics intended to be reminiscent of beaches in Goa. Likewise the food is inspired by Asia, Spain and our own Mediterranean cuisine. Beach loungers, relaxed seating and raised sea views from the balcony all complete the experience. Thoroughly enjoyable. Opening times are seasonal, you can forget it in the Winter months.

Lovely French style bar brasserie Tabac on the main junction in Villefranche. Watch all the world go by from there. Like Piccadilly circus, if you stay here long enough, everyone in the world you know will eventually pass by.
