Bouillabaisse - In the South Of France - Not in Marseilles

Le Mere Germaine restaurant in Villefranche-sur-Mer ( between Nice and Monaco) has been a gourmet landmark since 1938. Its specialty is fish and seafood and its famous Bouillabasse of course. The other famous Bouillabasse restaurant is the 'tony' Tatou; located in Cagnes-sur-Mer. Many people feel that its too snobby and expensive for them ( Snobby to me?, No, but expensive for sure!), so I can recommend le Mere Germaine without hesitation.

Villefranche for movie goers of a certain age, was one location where Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr stopped to see his grandmother in the movie 'An Affair To Remember"..

            OK, so I'm an unabashed romantic, I'll admit it!
