The South of France is where glamour and relaxation combine with incredible food. Every summer, we ensure our clients experience some of the most sought after reservations on the French Riviera and this season has been no different.

This season, a few restaurants have really stood out, here are the places our clients loved most in 2025.

Mamo Michelangelo, Antibes

One of the most requested reservations this year has been Mamo. Our clients adore Mamo, both for the food and atmosphere. Mamo also has a long star studded history with countless celebrities from around the world enjoying the restaurant in the summer months. The food and atmosphere combine to make a lively and welcoming experience. We ensure our clients enjoy only the finest the French Riviera has to offer and Mamo will be one we always recommend!

La Guérite, Île Sainte-Marguerite (Cannes)

La Guerite needs no introduction, it is a restaurant that is requested time and time again and this summer has been no different. Our clients have enjoyed stepping of their yacht and heading straight to this infamous dining destination. La Guerite is a place where those early lunches probably last that little bit longer than planned, but it is a place that is a must visit on any keen foodies list. It also happens to be one of the hardest reservations along the French Riviera, but this year we have arranged many last minute reservations so we can ensure our clients experience the very best!

Club 55, St Tropez

An icon and still one of the most in demand spots just outside St Tropez is Club 55, where tradition meets the Riviera charm. Our clients love it for its simplicity and alure. Reservations are often booked months in advance and our role this year has been ensuring our clients added Club 55 to the must visit restaurant lists!

Amazónico, Monaco

Monaco has endless dining spots and sometimes it is difficult to pick exactly where to go! However, Amazonico has been a firm favourite amongst our international client base. It is theatrical and fun and has been where our clients have created those memories with family and friends. For our clients who want to create lasting memories in the heart of the Place du Casino, Amazonico has been one of our go to recommendations. Not to mention the food is always perfect for those long dinners in the heart of Monaco’s most famous square.

Le Grill at Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, Antibes

Hotel Du Cap Eden Roc, is one of our must visit hotels for all of our clients and Le Grill, perched on the cliffside is no exception. This year our clients have enjoyed superb Mediterranean lunches with their guests, overlooking the sea and it is a perfect restaurant for a special celebration or romantic evenings. As ever, the team at Hotel Du Cap have welcomed our clients with open arms on some of the busiest weeks of the season. A true must visit destination in the South of France.

La Mère Germaine, Villefranche-sur-Mer

This year, one of our clients wes looking for something chic and elegant in this small town and there was only one place to go; La Mere Germaine. A traditional French eatery, perched on the side of the small marina, it offered our clients the perfect evening, beautiful wines and freshly made local food. It has now gone on our must visit eateries when travelling by yacht along the French Riviera.
