    ✅ Tuesday

    The delicious treasures of our land

    Good traditional produce means small local producers! All year round, they work hard to put good things on your plate. Since the best way to resist temptation is to give in to it, let’s pay them a visit to find out what they do… and to treat ourselves to a little tasting at the same time!

        ✅ Wednesday

        A meal on the river

        Wednesdays are king for kids! After spending the day building sandcastles with the family, continue enjoying the sea air at dinner. In the background: the gentle swirl of the waves… while the famous barbajuans, a kind of rectangular fried ravioli, appear on your plate. It’s sure to be a sight to behold!

        ✅ Thursday

        A feast of sunny flavors

        Bathed in sunshine, Menton, Riviera & Merveilles offers cuisine as tasty as it is exceptional. Menton lemon, olive oil, chestnuts, lavender… One by one, take the time to taste each of these culinary nuggets! And good news: they’re even better when sublimated in pichade, poutine or sugelli.

                ✅ Sunday

                An explosion of flavours and colors

                Sundays are often synonymous with shopping at colorful markets! Authentic and generous, they’re one of the best ways to meet local producers and enjoy the scents and flavors of local specialties.

                All that’s left to do is choose your team: are you more of an enclosed market? Go to the halles in Menton or Beausoleil! More open-air markets? Head for Sospel!
