This tiny, rather dilapidated bar is actually not too bad a place to enjoy a crepe before you venture into the Port of Nice. Sit outside and gaze onto the super yachts whilst tucking in to your Nutella crepe (a snip at 2.50 Euro). Avoid the hot dogs.
Location: Quai Lunel, Port of Nice, Nice.

Rose Bakery has to be one of my all time favourite places to eat in Paris, and it’s well worth the journey.
Located at 46, Rue Des Martyrs and marked with a arch shape doorway and some iron chairs, Rose Bakery is a café come general store selling all sorts of store cupboard bits and pieces including organic chocolate, speciality tea, breakfast cereal and fresh fruit not of course to mention a superb lunch time menu, consisting largely of quality produce cooked simply. On my last visit I had grilled chicken thigh and salsa verde, which was served in a light stock with steamed carrots and baby leeks.
Rose Bakery is also famous for its deserts, so be sure to grab a slice of their loaves and tray bake cakes, but for the perfect gift for your loved ones back home, or perhaps as a momentum of your visit, be sure to pick up a copy of their outstanding cookbook “Breakfast, Lunch, Tea”… and you never know you might even be able to have it autographed while you’re there!

There are lots of expensive gastronomic restaurants in and around the famous village of St Paul de Vence. Probably the most famous that everyone wants to be seen in and say that they have eaten at is the Colombe D’Or. It has original masterpieces hanging in the main restaurant and prices start from around 100 euro per head. We have had some reports that the expectation does not live up to reality
For some simple inexpensive food try The Malabar. They have a great Plat Du Jour (dish of the day), as well as lovely salads, pasta and burgers for the kids – all home made.
Prices including wine should be around 10 euro per person. As you enter St Paul through the small tunnel entrance turn immediately right and the Malabar will be found on your left just past a couple of art shops. Fabulous views from here to the coast.
Pinky and Eric, the owners, both speak English, French and Dutch

This is one of the most famous promenades in the world. For three kilometres following the curve of the bay one can see flowering gardens, lawns planted with palm trees, umbrella pines and other trees all the way to Port Canto, Palm Beach and a sea water health spa.
Famous for the film festival, luxury yachts and a lovely sandy beach. From May to the end of Septemebr there are firework displays in the bay every week - usually on Friday and Saturday. If you think you have seen a good firework display wait until you see the ones in Cannes. No expense is spared and they are spectacular. All done to music. How cool is that!!
