La Mère Germaine - Villefranche-sur-mer, France

Situated on the Côte D'Azur, in a beautifully peaceful, protected bay, fitted in on a row of bistros and restaurants is La Mère Germaine, an elegant, traditional French restaurant. 

I ordered smoked salmon with chive butter and lemon and orange reductions, delicious. As a main I ordered grilled Sea Bass with buttered potato cream and a balsamic vinegar reduction. It was mind-blowing, I really recommend it. Dessert was chocolate soufflé, which in itself was worth the trip. 

La Mère Germaine is not a cheap restaurant, however the menu, service and location are definitely a good value for money. I recommend visiting the place for a special occasion and at lunchtime, so the view can be admired in all its beauty.
