4 French Riviera Restaurants to Add to Your Yacht Charter Itinerary

Four Restaurants along the French Riviera you must Add to Your Yacht Charter Itinerary

Chartering a yacht along the French Riviera not only offers some of the most beautiful cruising grounds in the world, but equally fantastic dining experiences ashore. Few things complement a day at sea like an exceptional meal in a stunning setting.

Whether it’s a quiet lunch overlooking the water or an evening of world-class tasting menus, here are four of EB Yachts Solutions’ top restaurants along the Riviera that we recommend for clients who want to combine luxury with local flavor.

1. Château Eza – Èze

Michelin Rating (2025): 1 star

Our first recommendation takes you to the medieval village of Èze between Nice and Monaco. Château Eza brings history, elegance, and panoramic views of the Mediterranean into one unforgettable and unique dining experience. This restaurant is part of a boutique 5-star hotel and holds a Michelin star under the leadership of Chef Justin Schmitt, a respected name in French gastronomy.

Schmitt brings global influences and a playful edge to the menu. Expect bold and refined dishes like roasted octopus with satay and smoked whisky, or John Dory paired with courgette flowers and prawns, all enjoyed from a terrace that’s among the most scenic on the coast.

2. Mirazur – Menton

Michelin Rating (2025): 3 stars

Regularly ranked among the world’s best restaurants, Mirazur in Menton is a dining experience you must include in your itinerary. The setting alone is worth the trip, set on a hillside overlooking the sea, with a dining room flooded with natural light that offers sweeping views of the coastline.

With Chef Mauro Colagreco behind the helm, Mirazur is known for its delicate balance of technique and creativity. Each dish draws on local produce from the mountains, the sea, and Colagreco’s own gardens. The result is thoughtful, seasonal cooking. Think blue lobster in chamomile broth or roast pigeon with strawberries, dishes that surprise and satisfy in equal measure.

3. Louis XV – Monte Carlo

Michelin Rating (2025): 3 stars

Perched inside the legendary Hôtel de Paris, Louis XV – Alain Ducasse has been a cornerstone of fine dining in the region since the late ’80s. The story is well known: Prince Rainier III challenged Ducasse to earn three Michelin stars within four years. He did it in under three, and the restaurant has kept them ever since.

This is classic French haute cuisine at its finest, served in a room that feels like a modern-day Versailles. Rich in history and presentation, the menu is a masterclass in balance, elegant without being overly complicated. It’s a true Monte Carlo experience and one for the culinary bucket list.

4. La Vague d’Or – Saint-Tropez

Michelin Rating (2025): 3 stars

Tucked inside Cheval Blanc in Saint-Tropez, La Vague d’Or is another three-Michelin-starred restaurant. Chef Arnaud Donckele‘s menu is simple and precise, featuring French staples like foie gras, truffle, guinea fowl, and blue lobster, elevated to new levels through careful technique and flavor pairing.

What really sets La Vague d’Or apart is the setting. In summer, the terrace opens up to one of the best views in Saint-Tropez. The bay glows golden at sunset, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between relaxed Riviera charm and fine dining.
