Gourmets in the know flock to this stylish address, buried in Villefranche's rabbit warren of ancient old-town backstreets. In summer tables sprawl elegantly across a bijou stone square, romantically lit by twinkling lights after dark. Cuisine is creative, local and driven by the market and local fishers' catch. Red tuna tartare with avocado is a delicious all-year staple.
