A cuisine of the French Riviera blends Mediterranean freshness with vibrant coastal character. Seafood anchors the region’s flavors, from simply grilled fish to refined preparations that highlight the purity of the sea. The prized Menton lemon adds brightness to both sweet and savory dishes, while the iconic salade Niçoise reflects the Riviera’s balance of vegetables, olives, and tuna. Delicate fleur de courgette, often filled and lightly fried, captures the area’s love for seasonal produce. Together, these elements create a culinary style that is sunny, elegant, and unmistakably tied to the shores of the Côte d’Azur.
