In the ochre creeks between Mandelieu and Saint-Raphaël, Le Yaktsa is a palatial gem, a haven of peace for tourists from all over the world wanting to discover a more “confidential” Côte d’Azur. Its gastronomic restaurant, “L’Or Bleu”, headed by young chef Florent Benoît, offers a refined interpretation of Mediterranean cuisine : oven-baked sea-bass with almonds, Arborio risotto with white truffles... Audacious desserts round off the menu, to be sampled in a decor worthy of a palace from the Arabian Nights. 6 bd de l’Esquillon, Théoule-sur-Mer. (04 92 28 60 30).
