"Beaulieu-sur-Mer - pretty and pretty exclusive" Beaulieu by NiceLife

Beaulieu Travel Guide: 8 reviews and 31 photos

Pretty bay, leading to the Villa Kerkylos

Winter sun, early January, and the pace is easy in the pretty and exclusive enclave that is Beaulieu.

La Reserve - deep pockets required

High class diners at La Reserve

Will it be the 98 Euro or the 156 Euro menu? Or hang the expense, lets go a la carte! You might bump into Michael Winner, who dines here from time to time, along with some of the Cap Ferat residents for whom this is a little place to eat "just around the corner".

Has its own little Casino

Beaulieu Casino

Why travel all the way to Monaco to lose your shirt when you can do it a short stroll from home? Still, it can be fun watching other people lose, and even very occasionally win

Pros and Cons

Pros:Oozes class but perhaps without the glitz of some parts of the Riviera
Cons:Slower pace
In a nutshell:Try for size, you might take to it

To be honest, the 'Bay of Ants' isn't the most promising name for somewhere you'd fancy spreading out your egg and cress sandwiches. I have looked everywhere for Lord Montagu and his motor museum but I assume it has fallen into the sea?

Beaulieu, where you can spend as much on a meal as I spend on a holiday! A place to dream of.

I do hope you will eat the next time you're at la Reserve. I'd bet the tablecloths are quite tasty, too.
