Le K restaurant and Cafe del Mare is a new 'concept' in dining. Perhaps it is a new concept in France, but how it translates is just a chic and stylish restaurant with a variety of seating options and a focus on ambiance as much as the food. Something that is somewhat missing in the South of France. This place has a good menu, focused on fresh produce and value. You'll find nice sofas, a comfortable dining area and all in a lovely setting down on the port. Worth a visit.
