Château Eza

In this magical setting, the Mediterranean Sea reveals itself in all its splendour from the terrace, which feels as if it is suspended between sky and earth. Book early to secure the best spots! But the view does not eclipse the cuisine of Justin Schmitt. No stranger to prestigious kitchens, this veteran chef is a dab hand at cooking up precise modern cuisine with plenty of personality eg green asparagus from Provence with fresh goat's cheese ice cream and elderflower, and pearlescent cod wrapped in seaweed. The desserts are on a par – think velvety matcha rice pudding and tarragon sorbet.
