Breakfast to midnight

Where Boulevard Edouard Baudoin leaves Juan-les-Pins and heads for the Cap, Le Café de la Plage has its tables facing the water. It calls itself an iconic address in the resort, and its offer is simple: open every day, relaxed, friendly, and generous on the plate.

The day in three parts

Mornings start with coffee in all its forms, from a short espresso to a café crème, with teas, chai or matcha lattes and croissants or pains au chocolat. At lunch and dinner the brasserie serves its own menu of generous dishes. In the evening the bar takes over, with the classics of the Riviera evening: spritzes in several versions, mojitos, espresso martinis and a short list of alcohol-free cocktails, including a house lemonade.

• Breakfast with viennoiseries and hot drinks
• Brasserie menu for lunch and dinner
• Cocktails, spritzes and mocktails into the night

Why it works

It is a place for any hour and any mood: a quick coffee before the beach, a long lunch with the family, or a drink as the lights of the bay come on. The staff are there, as the café itself says, to serve with a smile.
