Le Vent Debout: Sun-Kissed Gastronomy by the Mediterranean

Perched along the shimmering coastline of Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Le Vent Debout at La Réserve de Beaulieu offers an enchanting escape where summer serenity meets refined gastronomy. With its terrace bathed in sunlight and overlooking the hotel’s sparkling swimming pool and private marina, the restaurant invites guests to unwind, savoring a moment of calm against the ever-changing hues of the Mediterranean.


The name, Le Vent Debout, pays homage to the historic 19th-century ship that once linked Nice to Beaulieu, a nod to both tradition and the sense of journey that this seaside spot embodies. The bistro-style setting of the restaurant enhances the sensory experience. From the terrace, guests can drink in sweeping vistas of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, the Baie des Fourmis, and the crystalline waters beyond, as a gentle breeze carries the subtle fragrance of the sea. It is a setting that encourages leisure, conversation, and a true appreciation of the flavors on the plate.

The Menu

Guests might begin with the Black Tiger prawns carpaccio, paired with creamy mozzarella and basil pesto, or the Mediterranean red tuna tartar, enlivened by a choice of tonic or fruity vinaigrette. The Lobster Club Sandwich, a nod to leisurely indulgence, perfectly complements the relaxed, sun-drenched atmosphere. 

For main courses, the kitchen delivers delicate interpretations of summer flavors: seared red tuna accompanied by oven-baked tomatoes, linguine tossed with prawns, shells, parsley, and garlic, or zucchini vierge sauce with fresh basil. The dessert menu delights with creations like frozen and confit Roussillon peaches with chantilly, alongside artisanal ice creams crafted from the finest local ingredients.

Le Vent Debout reflects La Réserve de Beaulieu’s overarching philosophy: understated elegance combined with the highest standards of service and hospitality. The hotel remains a beacon of luxury on the French Riviera, continuously updated through seasonal renovations to maintain its exceptional offerings while preserving its unique identity. Every detail—from table settings to service choreography—reflects this commitment to perfection.

Whether visiting for a leisurely lunch or an intimate evening by the sea, guests at Le Vent Debout are invited to embrace the joy of summer living in one of the Riviera’s most spectacular locations. Here, culinary artistry meets a tranquil Mediterranean backdrop, offering a dining experience that is as relaxing as it is memorable—a true celebration of the senses.
