The Restaurant at Hotel Beau Rivage

"Around the corner on quai des Etats-Unis, the hotel has the added bonus of its own private beach with a year-round restaurant for lazy lunches (and dinners May-Sept)"

"You can breakfast in the dining room, or in your room, and the restaurant Les Galets (which translates to, you guessed it, 'the pebbles') serves dinner nightly, with chrome salt and pepper shakers designed like (you guessed it again) little pebbles"

"The hotel has its own beach (with an attendant restaurant) but, being a few streets back from the prom, its views extend only as far as the old town's rooftops"

"The restaurant only opens for groups, but in season guests can eat at Le Bistrot du Rivage, an outdoor beach restaurant specializing in fresh fish"
