Eze is very very touristy.
The expensive restaurants you can find in the Gault/ Millau like the Chateau
Eza, Grill du Chateau or Chateau de la Chévre d’Or but I recommend always
cheaper places when I can find them. In this case you have
Le Nid
d’Aigle, 1 rue du Chateau, tel
0493411908. Closed Wednesday from mid-November to mid-December.
Provencal cuisine in this cute place high up in the village. Lapereau en gelée,
gigot à la ficelle, durade au herbes, salade de rougets poelés. Terraces
surrounded by vineyards and trees. Two menus for 22 € and 29 €.
Le Troubadour,
4 rue du Brec. Tel 0493411903. Closed Sunday all day and Monday for lunch and
all school holidays, 1-10 of July but open in August of course.
When you will have pushed your way trough the tourist hoards to accede to this
old house with a relaxing décor and atmosphere. Fresh cuisine and great
savours. Menus for 20.50 €
for lunch and 28 €
and 39.50 €
for dinner. tarte fine
chause aux pommes de terre et à la truffe, poitrine de pigeonneau aux zestes
d’agrumes et jus de boeuf, saint-Jacques roties au jus de poularde, gratin de
fruits rouges or glace au miel et au nougat. Smiling service but easily
panicking. Let’s forgive them since the food is good!
Richard
Borfiga, place du general de Gaulle tel
0493410523 fax 0493412679
Used to be a great table, but lost some of its feathers. Gault/Millau supposes
it is because he dispersed his activities too much. But it is evident that they
don’t have to look for products elsewhere when they have them all around.
Salade de rougets poelés en portefeuille, rable de lapereau aux olives, fleurs
de courgette farcies au basilic. The service is spotless. A pity there is no
terrace to view the magnificent panorama on Eze.
29-50 €
Auberge
Eric Rivot on the Basse Corniche tel
0493015146 fax 0493015840. On sea level along the road.
Former assistant of Marc Meneau in Vezelay, Eric Rivot uses quality products to
cook in a confident master ship for mixing savours. Although his cuisine comes
out a little heavy and sauced, he is attached to the Provence products and knows
how to get the maximum out of it. Very reasonable menus quality/price minded:
19.50, 26.50 and 32 €. Gratin de macaronis au foie gras, homard en ratatouille à
la gelée de citron, pavé de loup en peau croustillante au ffenouil sauvage,
sauté de poire en feuille chocolaté, biscuit au pommes sautée à la
mousseline vanille.
