La Rotonde

Not only does the grand dining room in the Hotel du Palais have sweeping views across the sea, it also sits in prime sunset viewing position, making a meal here particularly romantic. Everything is old-school, from the army of wait staff and the oversized menus, as large as a newspaper, to the glass-domed chariot des fromages and the perfectly tiny petit four delivered with coffee. The multi-course affair is a bit of a commitment, but for a special occasion, the setting is unbeatable. The chef has a Michelin star.
