1. Le Bistrot d'Antoine
$$ | Old Town |You won't find any "concept" cooking here, just pure French bistro fare at its finest—beef salad with anchovy dressing, butter risotto with truffles, sliced leg of lamb, and traditional pork casserole. Save room for the day's dessert, such as the wonderfully warm peach-and-frangipane tart. The prices here are as appealing as the menu. If you can't score a reservation, try Peixes 3, chef Antoine Crespo's delightful, seafood tapas restaurant at 4 rue de l'Opéra.

2. La Fontaine
$$$ | |The new owners of this St-Paul-de-Vence institution in the center of the old village have magically created a contemporary bistro, where a few seats on a second-story terrace (book in advance) overlook the street below. Choose the plat du jour, or order from an à la carte menu with everything from an organic egg to a chicken burger to a Jerusalem artichoke and shimeji-mushroom confit with smoked duck breast. Half bottles of wine are available, so sit on the terrace with une verre, and breathe in the views of the fountain square—an experience that more than compensates for occasions when service is slow or the kitchen runs out of certain dishes.

3. Le Bistro Gourmand
$$$$ | Old Town |This restaurant, steps from the Hotel Beau Rivage and with an outdoor terrace, focuses on the preservation of French cuisine. The sommelier amazingly seems to know your order before you do; a decent bottle of red will set you back around €50. The service is friendly enough, but the stark white setting with a few dashes of color is meant to keep your eye on your plate.
3 rue Desboutin, Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 06300, France04–92–14–55–55Known For
- Five-course Legend Menu for only €118
- Famous soufflé
- Impressive wine list

4. Le Café
$$$$ | |The busy terrace here often doubles as a stadium for different factions cheering on local pétanque players in Place des Lices. Service can be slow, but the setting, the food (say, black truffle and foie gras macaroni with Parmesan or seven-hour lamb confit with spices), and the piano bar with throwbacks to Piaf and Aznavour make this place memorable. It's open daily 8 am–3 am (with a well-priced €18 lunch menu) and always seems packed, so reservations are a good idea.
5 pl. des Lices, St-Tropez, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 83990, France04–94–97–44–69Known For
- Well-priced lunch menu
- French music nightly
- Languid service

5. Le Tilleul
$$$ | |Before you plunge into the dense tangle of streets in old St-Paul-de-Vence, stop on the ramparts under the century-old lime tree for a meal or snack at this atmospheric café, where the breezy terrace looks onto the valley and the Alps. The kitchen makes more of an effort than you might expect, turning out colorful salads (crispy goat cheese salad with figs) and pastas at lunch and more serious fare in the evening. Pop by for the Salon de Thé (daily 3–6 pm), which offers much more than Mariage Frères tea: red berry tiramisu, crepes, and coffee on a separate menu. Across the street, Le Tilleul sells freshly made, sorbet and ice cream for takeout in flavors like wild peach and almond milk with sour cherry.
Pl. du Tilleul, St-Paul-de-Vence, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 06570, France04–93–32–80–36Known For
- Fairly priced traditional French dishes with lighter fare
- Daily tea menu 3–6
- Charming shaded terrace
