Fine dining in Juan-les-Pins

Back on the Cote d’Azur, but no time to rest or recover from the jet lag! My parents were heading back to Finland, and wanted to dine with us before that. So, we opted for dinner at Juan-les-Pins, a place we don’t often venture to. Juan-les-Pins is known to be a bit of a party spot for holiday makers on the Cote d’Azur, and is also rather famous for its jazz festival (there’s also a kind of “walk of fame” for jazz musicians, with handprints on the ground, like they have for movie stars in Cannes).


After some deliberation, we selected Le Paradise as the venue, a rather well-rated restaurant by the seafront. We were a bit dubious, since seafront often means “over-priced” rather than “good food”. We needn’t have worried, this place is well worthy of its good reviews. The food was a bit on the steep side, but very well presented, and most importantly, absolutely delicious. The location is pretty much perfect, being on the beach. A pity we didn’t truly get a sea view from our table. But for sure, it’s a place I could well consider going back to in the future!


It was great catching up with my parents and Tutta (whom we’ve not seen for absolute ages) as well. All in all, quite a nice way to settle back to reality and working life!
