A popular destination for tourists, it is also popular with gourmets, who have three Michelin-starred restaurants at their disposal.

Among them, the Château Eza, which, in addition to offering gourmet cuisine, offers a breathtaking viewpoint on the Big Blue.

A kitchen full of colors and delightful seasonal elements.

Each plate is presented at the table in the rules of the art. If nothing is left to chance in the choice of products and associations, the head Axel Wagner refrains however to scramble the message with terms such as “foam”, “foam” or “espuma”. The central product must be accompanied by a juice that sublimates it.

Thus, the back of lean, a fish with white flesh, is served with a citrus juice iodized with fennel and shellfish.

As for the lobster fricassee with potato, it is enhanced by a shell juice mixed with nutty butter both powerful and of great finesse.

The pastry chef is on the same wavelength, even if the juice is called jelly, cream or sorbet.
