Antibes Juan-les-Pins

The driver’s guide

The addresses I give my own passengers in Antibes, Juan-les-Pins and out on the Cap: the starred tables, the institutions of the old town, the beaches, the Picasso museum and the nights of Juan. Each one with its phone number, its website and directions.

Restaurants

Nothing here was chosen on the strength of online ratings. Three families only: the 2026 Michelin Guide, the institutions that passengers ask for by name, and the houses of old Antibes, around the Provençal market.

The institutions — the ones you will be asked for by name

No star, no label, but everyone in Antibes knows them. These are the addresses a passenger names unprompted, and the ones you have to book.

An institution
La Maison de Bacon
664 boulevard de Bacon — cap d'Antibes
On the corniche of the Cap, the house of bouillabaisse for more than sixty years. Taken over in 2021 under the name Maison de Bacon, with chef Nicolas Davouze: whole fish filleted at the table, bouillabaisse still on the menu, and one of the finest views on the coast.

An institution
Le Brûlot
rue Frédéric Isnard, vieil Antibes

An institution
Les Vieux Murs

Old Antibes and the Provençal market

The heart of the old town. This is where you eat the catch of the day and the vegetables from the market, a hundred metres from the ramparts.

Old Antibes and the Provençal market
Le Marché Provençal
cours Masséna
The covered market of the cours Masséna, every morning except Monday out of season. Flowers, local vegetables, cheese, fish: the best place in Antibes at nine in the morning.
NOT TO BE MISSEDWHERE LOCALS GOCLOSED MONDAY OUT OF SEASON
Old Antibes and the Provençal market
Le Bistrot de la Plage
boulevard James Wyllie
Facing the sea, at the end of the Salis beach: simple, grilled fish, a terrace full at lunchtime.
NO FUSS

🚕 I drive you there — and I come back for you after the meal. Parking is hard in the old town, and harder still out on the Cap.
