Le Restaurant Les Béatilles

Vence, France

Closed Mo. Vincent Dhumes cooks alone in his tiny kitchen, aided by his wife who runs front of house. There is a short carte and two menus at €25 and €39 that change weekly. The cooking is skillful and inventive, Guillaume is self-assured and his cooking can rarely be faulted. Eat at the table of a future Michelin chef before he's famous! Booking advised in summer. Update - as of September 2005, the Dhumes have moved to be near their family in Toulon. Another young couple have taken over the restaurant - reports needed. €30-€70
