Seafood lovers should look no further than L’oursin , an Antibes institution since first opening its doors in 1962. Uniquely designed, the restaurant gives guests the feeling that they are on board a ship with its nautical-themed decor and interesting features, such portholes including one that offers street views from the Amirale room. Fresh fish and shellfish are the specialties of the day, every day with menu items such as real homemade Bouillabaisse, Tasty Mussels Stuffed with Parsley Butter and Half Lobster Risotto. Desserts such as the Commander, a refreshing treat of Mandarin Sorbet and Limoncello, and the Creme Brulee end meals on a sweet note. An extensive wine list with French-heavy selections ensures the perfect pairings every time. For those that prefer to dine alfresco, the terrace is the perfect spot for people-watching.
