An “épuisette” is a child’s fishing net, often forgotten on the rocks by the seashore and this establishment enjoys a matchless waterside location on the fishing port of the Vallon des Auffes. The house’s iconic “Fanny” menu is as dazzling as the July sunshine. The chef knows his business: the produce is flawlessly fresh, the recipes meticulous and the flavours distinctive – all of which with lashings of generosity. We sampled a bouillabaisse of capon, monkfish, galinette, weever and John Dory – to die for! A delicious port of call.
