This one-man restaurant is fabulous. The chef is the cook, waiter, and the heart and soul of the place all in one. He exudes such enthusiasm that you can’t help but feel comfortable here. If our vacation had been just one day longer, we would have come back again.

Went with my friend there and both of us are picky eaters. The menu is not big but ALL of the dishes there are 10/10. Same for the wine. Excellent! Rafael was such a great chef and also very kind and friendly, was generous with the portions of the food.
We randomly met him in the city the next day and we were so happy to see each other. If you are in Menton it’s a must to go there! Hope to visit there again

Everything tasted really delicious. The service was really friendly and warm. We had the Carbonara and Gnocchi and would definitely recommend both. Definitely worth the visit! Thank you :)

Casa Fuego
Just opposite Mauro Colgreco's flagship restaurant, this is the Italian-Argentine chef's hacienda-style Argentinian grill, which has a large covered terrace overlooking the sea, the town and the harbour. Here, they have mastered the style of cooking over a wood fire that is so typical of Argentina. Expect tasty dishes infused with a pleasing smokiness: aguachile San Remo white shrimps; grilled octopus; dulce de leche flan. A masterclass in gourmet conviviality.

Mirazur
Argentine chef Mauro Colagreco has taken up residence on the Italian border, between the mountains and the sea, in a restaurant boasting mesmerising views of the Mediterranean. His culinary creations now reflect the lunar calendar, with ingredients being gathered and dishes being concocted in accordance with the phases of the moon – an ancient practice revived by followers of biodynamic agriculture. He harvests his plants at peak ripeness to create daily alternating set menus based on realms of nature such as "flowers", "fruit", "leaves" and "roots". This exacting philosophy allows the chef to get the very best from his vast vegetable gardens, as well as from his hand-picked supply of fish, shellfish and meat. Delivered by a talented kitchen team, his cuisine is in no danger of falling into routine. As technically flawless as the dishes may be, they remain thoroughly accessible, prioritising flavours that are combined in perfect harmony.

JR Bistronomie
Just a stone's throw from the sea and the Jean Cocteau Museum, in a charming setting that calls to mind a family home (with one corner set up like a kids' playroom), this place serves good seasonal bistronomy food. Under the guidance of an experienced chef (also a member of the Disciples d'Escoffier), the classics are given a tasteful and intelligent modern spin. On this particular occasion, caramelised tomato tarte tatin; confit saddle of lamb; deconstructed lemon pavlova. Lovely fresh ingredients, a sure hand: JR works his magic!
