The Review · Notre avis

## A table hung between the village and the _sea_.

Èze is a medieval village welded to a pinnacle of rock, and La Chèvre d’Or is welded to Èze. The terrace falls away beneath your feet to the Mediterranean, six hundred feet down, with Cap Ferrat to the left and, on a clear day, Corsica somewhere out past the haze. It is, frankly, one of the great views from any table in Europe — and the kitchen has the nerve to match it.

The cooking is Riviera fine dining at its most polished: line-caught fish, vegetables from the hills behind, sauces of real precision. It is not cheap and does not pretend to be. What you are buying is an afternoon you will describe to people for years.

### The setting

Go for lunch, when the light is on the water and the village is yours before the coaches arrive. There are rooms scattered down the lanes if you would rather not drive afterwards. See our [Riviera table guide](https://the-south-of-france.com/en/the-table/riviera-table-guide/).

### Getting there

Èze sits on the Moyenne Corniche between Nice and Monaco, twenty minutes from either. Park below and climb the lanes on foot — there is no other way in. See also our [Riviera in three days](https://the-south-of-france.com/en/french-riviera/riviera-in-three-days/).

The verdict · En un mot

“You pay for the view and stay for the cooking. Book lunch, sit by the rail, and let the afternoon fall away with the cliff.”
