Overlooking the sea, and looking out to the horizon, all of your senses experience the sea, bathed in the bright light of this 3-star restaurant. The streamlined decor perfectly matches Gérald Passedat’s cuisine of the South and the sea. Here, the Mediterranean reigns supreme, because everything changes in line with the seasons, the weather, and catch… A meal at Le Petit Nice is like diving underwater, gradually moving toward the ocean depths... discovering the chef’s signature dishes as you go. A fish with delicate, firm, and melt-in-the-mouth flesh, prepared with flavors of the Marseille hinterland: this is the first dish I created, a flavourful homage to my grandmother as this was her favorite fish. A slice of steamed sea bass, known as “loup” in the South of France, but “bar” elsewhere, with colorful ribbons of courgette and cucumber, in hues of dark and light green, on an intensely flavored “base”. Red and green tomato, lemon, basil, coriander, wild fennel, olive oil, and a touch of truffle, a reminder of my family’s roots in Quercy, make a delicate bed for this great steak, to enhance its delectable flesh. So tender that you eat it with a spoon, to best appreciate the ocean and land flavors sublimely mingling together.

At first, it’s the view that fells you. Positano’s jaunty stack of houses and its iridescent church dome are so close you feel you could reach out and touch them. No wonder so many marriage proposals have been made here over the years. In the evening, the soft glow helps, cast by hundreds of suspended candles that take an hour to light in the evening and almost as long to extinguish. But musicians Franco and Andrea have to shoulder their share of the blame too, for making things so romantic. Their lilting guitar and mandolin melodies have melted many a heart. Any chef will tell you that stunning backdrops like this are a challenge. But for La Sponda’s executive chef Gennaro Russo, that view, that music, and what’s on the plate aren’t that different. All three are the result of centuries of patient symbiosis between man and the natural world. In a simple plate of pasta al pomodoro, a branzino grilled to perfection, or a Neapolitan babà dessert so light and fluffy you can cut it with the side of a fork lie stories of viscounts and peasants, fishermen, and princes, but also stories of rivers, forests and volcanoes, dry-stone wall terraces and patiently tilled kitchen gardens.
