Why Eating at Restaurant Château Eza is a Must!

Visiting Eza in France soon? If you're a foodie and wondering where to find the most amazing French food in the riviera, this restuarant in Eze is a must! #Eze #France

The photos alone are enough to inspire you to visit Eze! As if you need any more reasons to visit Eze, number two on my list was Restaurant Chateau Eza.

Château Eza hotel offers a Michelin star gourmet restaurant serving à la carte French and Mediterranean cuisine against the stunning backdrop of the French Riviera. You can dine in the indoor glass-edged room with 180° panoramic views to fully enjoy the Riviera or on one of the several outdoor terraces, all overlooking the sparkling azure waters of the Cote d’Azur. I mean just check out this menu! It was also selected by the world’s top food critics and glam media foodie editors as a Foodie Top 100 Restaurant Worldwide!

What it was like to eat at Chateau de Eza Restaurant

The experience itself was amazing! After a 10 minute walk up the cliff in Eze you reach the restaurant. It’s definitely worth the walk because the views are amazing. It almost feels like you’re sitting on top of the ocean. In the spring the floor to ceiling windows open for a totally panoramic cliff dining experience at its finest!

As soon as you sit down you’re greeted by the most experienced staff. I was so impressed by them. It felt like the food never stopped coming. First we were offered champagne to start paired with goat cheese, caviar, and baked parm on a stick. Delicious. Then we were brought the most delicate pressé of foie gras and smoked eel, porto jelly with hibiscus flower.

Our next course was a grilled large claire refined oyster with pot herbs coulis, multicolored roots and Ossetia Caviar and it was très bien!

Instead of dropping off a bread basket you’re offered a choice of bread in between each corse. We had the option of a French baguette, olive bread, or parmesan crusted bread.

For an entree we could choose from sea bass, stone-fried scallops, pigeon, or hare. I choose the sea bass cooked skin side down, with artichokes stuffed with morteau sausage, broccoli mousse and chervil root which was amazing! Seriously the best meal I’ve ever had in my life.  My husband had the stone-fried scallops which were also so good!

For dessert we were given an alliance of passion fruit, pineapple and mango, tahitian vanilla, tonic sweetness and we shared the crispy caramel with hazelnuts and dulcey chocolate, caramel & salted butter ice-cream.  Très bien!
