Succeeding Michelin-starred Jean-Marc Delacourt - who left to excel on other horizons -, Frédéric Galland has presided over the destiny of Le Parcours since 2007 with good humour and the fine assurance of young “premiers” brimming with talent. Perched in the village of Falicon, 15 minutes from the centre of Nice and one of Queen Victoria’s favourite spots, the restaurant is an enticing eagle’s nest with walls clad in brown leather. The chef serves contemporary cuisine that reflects the seasons, combining simply roasted Saint-Jacques scallops with crisp violet artichokes, mushrooms and a hint of white truffles, poaching fillet of cod in carrot juice with ginger and zest of orange, or serving a soufflé with Mexican Grand Cru black chocolate… Not forgetting the generous wine cellar with fruity rosés including a highly commendable organic Jas d’Esclans, cookery classes and jazz concerts ! Parcours Live, 1 place Marcel-Eusébi, Falicon (04 93 84 94 57 and www. restaurant-parcours.com)
