Brunch in Nice and on the Côte d'Azur
On the Riviera, brunch is a Sunday ritual with the sea in view. In Cannes, the Riviera Restaurant – Carlton Cannes sets out seasonal buffets with live music, and La Môme Plage lays its buffet a few steps from the sand, while by the Old Port, Café Crème – Canopy by Hilton Cannes runs an all-day, Californian-style brunch club with sunny tables facing the harbour. Further along, Jasmin Grill & Lounge – Royal-Riviera on Cap Ferrat starts at €66–70, Le Brunch du Bay – Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort in Monaco at €135, and Eden-Roc Brunch – Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes at €200. Inland, La Table de Pierre – Domaine du Mas de Pierre near Saint-Paul-de-Vence (€90) and Le Gaudina – Terre Blanche in Tourrettes (€99) feel like a weekend in the country. Saint-Tropez has Les Toits – Hôtel de Paris Saint-Tropez and Pan Deï Palais; Juan-les-Pins has Hôtel Juana.
Nice itself is the coffee-shop capital of the coast. In the Old Town, Maranna serves Australian-inspired plates, and Marinette, a glass-roofed café with a little terrace in the lane, is loved for fluffy pancakes and homemade cakes (€14.50 in 2025); Maison JL is near the port; Foodie sits behind Place Masséna; Le Kawa is close to Nice-Ville station; Cali Coffee Shop is in the Musiciens quarter. Amazonica and Little Café both offer set formulas from €24.90. For an occasion, SEEN by Olivier – Anantara Plaza Nice hosts a rooftop brunch over the Baie des Anges, where Giulia Mimosa is also on the menu.
