Best Restaurants in Old Antibes
Old Antibes is one of the most enjoyable places to eat on the French Riviera: small streets, shaded terraces, local addresses, refined tables and the Provençal Market at the centre of daily life.
A restaurant scene shaped by streets, markets and sea air
Dining in Old Antibes is less about grand resort dining and more about atmosphere: tables tucked into pedestrian streets, cafés near the market, relaxed lunches, elegant dinners and the pleasure of walking home after a meal.
For travellers staying in a private home, restaurants are part of the daily rhythm: breakfast outside, market shopping in the morning, a simple lunch near the port or a longer dinner in the old town.

Because the old town is compact, staying nearby makes dining effortless: no car, no long transfer, just a short walk through stone streets back to a private home.
